Since I was pretty young (under 10, over 5 abouts) I have believed that we were created by aliens. Sometimes the aliens interact in my life and cause certain things to happen. I've talked about this with family and friends over the years and it didn't seem that big of a deal. Then I told a friend as a teenager and I was told not to talk about these things.

I'm older now and not stupid. (Though some may argue) but I recognize people find this belief strange or bizarre. To me, the aliens are our creator. If you believe in a creator, chances are they are not from earth and therefore are alien. I find other belief systems strange as they don't make sense or speak to me or the history I've read doesn't add up.

Lots of people think god is testing them or interacting in their life. Why am I singled out as weird. Is this a delusion or a belief system I have. I can be quiet about it. Do you think it's dangerous to tell others? I talked about it with some people on Facebook years ago and one guy was really understanding and I think he even understood me. Or maybe he was making fun of me?

My husband says it's delusional. Sometimes when they are really causing havoc in my life and I'm tormented, it's good to get help. But surely I don't need to be locked up for thinking this way? I would like your honest opinion but please keep an open mind. Thank you.

It's a belief, no more or less likely than my beliefs. As far as what others might think...well, no one has ever been rewarded for coloring outside the lines, but we color the way we color.

the existence of life outside our world is highly likely, the cosmos is simply too big for earth to be so special that it was the only place where the formation of life occurred. but to go as far as to attach a belief system to it I think is farfetched, much more farfetched is the idea that they can interact with our lives. extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. however because it is not believed in mass, and people are not willing to die for it because they have the divine will on their side makes it significantly less harmful than an organized religion.

This is not a delusional belief in my opinion as so many people believe this. You are certainly not alone. I have certainly toyed with the idea that aliens created us. Right now, not so much as I am on to my next belief about the universe.

Some people believe in an invisible man who impregnated a human female and they gets lots of power and money for preaching about it. Who's to say if that's a mass delusion? There's lots of alien microbes on earth.....what's to say those microbes from passing Astroroids and meteorites didn't jump start life here? Just because your beliefs are not popular doesn't nessasarly make it a delusion. So far humans are not capable of proving or disproving such things.

This was not what I was expecting!!! Thank you all so much. I'm standing up for myself then. I agree with you all. It shouldn't even be legal to call it a delusion. I really appreciate all the thoughts. I agree with everyone of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you (((hugs)))

Yes, when I become a danger to myself because of how I feel them working in my life then I need to go IP. Same for a Christian who thinks the devil is trying to hurt them so they become a danger to themselves. I'm not violent and this is the keys.

I am a Christian who does believe in spiritual attack but I also know back in February when I had a psychotic break that Satan wasn't attacking me and I wasn't possessed by demons and in need of an exorcism (I even knew a place to go!)

The Alien theory is my most consistent. It's solid and rarely changes but sometimes I think the world is all my imagination and I get upset at myself because I suck and screwed a lot of people who are living off flies and dirt. I ponder theories all the time but the aliens send me messages. The doctor said they are ideas of reference but sometimes is useful information which predicts the future and helps me and other times it's warnings or threats. I can usually deal with these though....in a variety of ways. Typically I know they "want me to react". Therefore I'm stoic and peaceful and go about my day pretending they aren't bothering me. This usually works fine but sometimes they get pissed and wound up and more menacing which is when my fear factor goes up, I'm tormented and need some professional help. As long as I can tolerate it, and I have for almost 42 years, then I think I know how to manage. And when I can't manage, I end up in the doctors office, ER or IP.

Spiritual attacks.....yes, that seems parallel to my being experimented on. I think the aliens are neutral but they use us to gather data. I don't know why they need the data or what their plans are but I try to figure it out.

The Klonopin really helps with the anxiety this causes. At first it worked too well but that wore off and it's just fine. Me only calmer. Still seeing their havoc but I think I learned something really valuable about myself today which might be very helpful so it might all happen for a reason like my mom always says. Seems random mostly. But we are assigned our roles at birth it seems. "Little boxes"

Yeah, the therapy is all a bit weird. I feel judged even though she's probably as nice as a person can be.

I'm really messed up in ways I cannot talk about on this forum. Maybe some of it, someday. But I accomplished a lot considering. It's almost that questioning my reality stunted me. I'm worse rather than better for knowing but it had to be done or else ya know. My husband is a professional and we both want me home whenever it benefits me but if I'm dangerous to myself (never to others)then I go IP. As my husband is trained he can take good care of me even when I'm depressed. It's better having him there than some stranger and you don't get one on one treatment from a professional like I can with my husband. That is why they released me last, because my husband could provide more support and care then they could. They couldn't give me one on one from a trained professional.

Well, he's not perfect, don't let him fool ya . But yes, he's very compassionate and caring. He makes me feel SAFE. He does have his flaws but I would never talk about him as he and I always talk about and work out our own issues. My husband is maybe a little aspergers. He's in the spectrum based on what we read ....he said when he was learning about Xander it was like learning about himself as a child. He is rather detached from ALL people except me and my parents. He has his reasons for feeling like an outcast in his own family, but it is a false perception and his family really wants to have a relationship and I have been encouraging him to see them more often. I told him I would go and he agreed and has been calling his mom once a week which makes me SOOOO proud. His mom LOVES him and it's obvious and she and her husband have been amazing people. So I hope he keeps up with that. I've been trying for years but he had resentments and old grudges to work through. My husband and I were made for each other. I must admit I often worry that he will get tired of it or it will get worse and he will leave. We got into a huge fight and I threw him out of the house I guess (I don't remember any of this part) but that is why he wasn't at the ER last time I went or I wouldn't have been held. But someday I might not have that....and my son said "lock her up". He called the cops on me because I thoughts the aliens sent a religious cult after me. I wasn't harming anyone and he called the cops. My mom says I just don't understand what I look like in that state. I think they were both over reacting. But I can't count on my oldest son, that I've learned. Hopefully my husband won't leave. We talk about how we look forward to growing old together and how lucky we are to have each other. Aside from the last few years when I got very physically sick, I took care of everything. Our relationship always functions because we are lucky that where I am weak, he is strong and where he is weak, I am strong. It's a balance. But I'm grateful to have him, lucky, and hope I never lose him or get worse. If I get worse I really couldn't blame him for leaving. Like when I thought he was a robot....if that didn't go away it would be hard to stay and asking too much. I often feel I'm asking too much as is.

Elsa, I cannot tell you if your aliens are "real" or not. I do believe that they are real in their effects on you. We all have our own beliefs and experiences.

Keep seaking help when and where you need it.

I have an entry in my blog about seeing aliens. Twice in fact. Are they real? Why not?
