Mostly to avoid worrying them, but also to avoid being stopped and trapped in hospital. I can believe my delusions and sill be able to pretend I am not having them. Does that make me not psychotic and a liar? Am I faking my entire illness? Am I lying now? Is anything I think real even? I cannot tell the difference.

I also lie and cover up when I am having delusions. I think this is fairly common because people don't want to give up their freedom. I think a bigger problem is covering up my symptoms to my psychiatrist. Do you have a go to medication when you start to have delusions?
