So i am a paranoid type schizophrenic and as such i receive paranoid delusions. For example i once thought that everyone existed as clones and were not the real people. i thought my parents were replaced by these replica beings. When i started hearing voices i also started getting thought implants that were not my own. I had envisioned that the government or some agency was implanting thoughts into my head using radio frequencies or some type of cellular technology. I still wonder about that one because why would i get thoughts in my head that do not originate from my own mind? Unless they are spirits maybe. Unfortunately schizophrenia doesn't give the reasons or the origin of these experiences and so i am left to wonder, drawing up my own paranoid conclusions. The natural conclusion that most pdocs come to is that they are hallucinations made up by the mind, but that doesn't fit for me. The voices i hear are real beings with thoughts and ideas of their own. I couldn't have just dreamt them all up. But anyways i wonder what types of delusions other peole have come up with as a result of schizophrenia or psychosis? please share..

Another one i had was brought on by my experiences with the tv and radio speaking to me. i learned that the tv and radio is telepathic and can communicate and bring up images directly form the mind. like telepathic communication. for awhile i was practicing making them bring up my own information. it was like controlling the media with my mind. after i experienced that i could no longer believe anything that was on tv or the news.

My main one many years ago was that this new office building in my neighborhood (which I called "The Building") was the headquarters of these secret agency of magic users. They had chosen my neighborhood because of all of the good, positive energy in the land which was caused by my grandfather. (The neighborhood was at one time his farm which he then cut up into subdivisions and had built most of the houses.) Anyway, they were especially focused on the park and built The Building right next to the it.

I was chosen (as heiress,) to be protector of the land since my grandfather was passed away and so was my mom. She was the eldest daughter and I'm her only child, also we still lived on the land and her siblings and my cousins did not. Anyway this secret angecy knew about me, knew that I knew their secret plot, and were after me. And I was trying to come up with a way to stop them....

Unfortunately I had a group of friends who played along with my delusion and did things to really set in stone that it was all true. At some point after moving out of state, it just stopped and went away, but I can't really say when. I didn't remember any of it for about a year to two years when I moved back and drove passed the building one day... The whole thing started when I was 18/19 and stopped when I was about 25/26 when it stopped and 28 when I remembered... I'm 34 now.

faerie moon - I have also had times when i was delusional that I had forgotten my entire experiences. I wonder if it is some self defense mechanism or maybe because like a dream it is so far distant from our average awareness we easily forget it upon moving away.

I wonder why I forgot all the time. I don't think I'll ever have an answer. The really mind blowing part was when I was confronted with the building after having forgotten. All of the memories came rushing back. I say it was like a slap in the face. The thing is, when the memories came back I could see clearly how delusional I was and how everyone used me as their amusement.

It really made me both mad and very sad.

And it was a lot like waking up from a dream then suddenly remembering it.

I have had many thoughts over the years that others believed were delusional.
1. There is another world/ dimension under China with dragons and other fantasy creatures ready to come up and take over our planet.
2. That I was a robot.
3. I have a chip in my head by the government (this one has to be true though, how else would the voices and thoughts enter that are not mine? How else am I knowing about technologies that are classified and then when they declassify it its all over the news?)
4. I have the Power of Influence. This means that I influence events big and small through visions and dreams.
5. I have a mission to fight a war with my superpowers with so called "delusion" #1. This is why I sometimes wander off. People around me says that my facial features change and I look like a different person when the government activates the control over me. I have no control over my legs or arms. There is a powerful thought or voice that blasts in my head that I have to get up no matter where I'm at home or out. In traffic as well. No control whatsoever.
6. I have destroyed several planets with alien life through the Power of Influence but I could have stopped them from being destroyed. Won't go into it here.
7. Here and there and not all the time but aliens will freeze the Sun.
8. Demons. I have seen them many times.
9. Several years ago aliens wanted me to fight as their leader in an intergalactic war.

OK that is enough for now, can't remember all of them but I know its closer to 20 or 30 of them over the years. When I was young I kept thinking someone would burn down the house. I also thought bullies were going to murder me and my family. I kept on seeing flames and also the bullies chasing me.

Mine revolve mostly around TV and what I am watching at the time. Also I have had the TV talk to me. And the radio. My last one was really scary. I thought I was invincible and I had won all kinds of money and I was buying houses for my family. I was driving and kept getting lost. Then I was in a neighborhood that had lots of dead ends so I was driving super fast like I was on some race track. I ran it out of gas. I was convinced the GPS was telling me what to do. I erased my cell phone and just left my car in there after locking my keys and phone inside. I was lost I wandered for hours convinced my ex was going to rescue me and I finally saw a house that said marry me on its garage door and knocked on the door I gave her my sons number and him and my brother picked me up and took me home. This all got much more worse thru the night and the next morning my family called the police because I was out of control the next morning. I spent three weeks in the hospital having my meds changed.

I've had a hard time getting anyone-therapists, doctors, friends, family(haha-never happen) to talk to me about my delusions from my postpartum psychosis in '10. A lot of them were pretty obvious to decipher...but they have to have come from somewhere. I know they matter, either psychologically, spiritually, or SOMETHING. That whole experience was the most intense and life-ruining experience of my life...there's NO signicance?
Thanks for this!

I don't talk to people about mine since they wouldn't expect it. I have a respectable career, so if people found out what I had they would question a lot of things. I recently told my best friend about my delusions of how I believe that people (mostly at work) can read my mind and that I need to control my thoughts so I don't think of anything bad. I told him other things too, but now he won't talk to me because I spooked him. I'm hoping he forgives me and starts talking to me again. He was the closet friend I had and I miss having someone to talk to on a daily basis. I feel so lonely and I really hope he forgives me soon

I experience the same 'delusion'. I think that it is very real still. I have had so many experiences where people around me would 'ride my thoughts'. Whatever i am thinking about people around me will talk about, and even answer my mind. Often I talk to people telepathically because I know they are listening.

I believe it's very real. At work I have had many times where I was asking myself a question or thinking of something in my head, then the patient answers my question even though I didn't say anything. It's alarming because if I think of something negative at work they would often apologize to me for what they were doing and feel sad. I have to always think positively so I don't hurt their feelings and I don't want to get in trouble for thinking is something bad. I don't know how to stop people from reading my mind, so I just control my thoughts the best that I can.

I have been reading a lot of articles about psychics and schizophrenia, and it is very common that the two are intermingled and a psychic is diagnosed as schizophrenic. It could be that you are very attuned to being a telepath and simply project your thoughts unknowingly. the link between psychic experiences and schizophrenia is very high.

I'd believe that. I'm not sure if I'm a psychic since I never thought about it before. I feel that some research is to be done

I believe we are tuned on a higher frequency or something than other people. If not psychic exactly, then just aware in a different way. I think there was an evolutionary reason for this. People with sz, bp, and anxiety are important to the tribe, because we're tuned differently. The problem is our society has written our tribal roles out of existance and now we're stuck floating around with skills that we don't know what they're for or evne how to use them.

I seriously believe that shaman or medician (wo)men or whatever you want to call them knew how to use the things that drive us crazy to the benefit of the tribe. Paranoia, hallucinations, all of it... it's important. The problem is that the line is broken, the training is gone, and now we have the skills but no knowledge of what to do with them... or how to focus them to our benefit. So instead they are just annoying in the way and not helpful....

I agree with you 100%. I do not usually call myself schizo but refer to myself as a medium. I was trained to see that world as multi-dimensional and that our awareness places us in the dimension we are within. By controlling or guiding awareness one may effectively guide their reality, or their projections. Otherwise called hallucinations, or delusions by trained professionals. These visions exist in the dimension that they are present within and are very real. The problem with these professionals is that they are trained within one reality only, and taught that the order of that reality is the only order. Science on the other hand recognises that multiple dimensions of quantum reality exist. By altering the mind's understanding of reality one begins to bend the dimensions of reality as you perceive it to be. This can create a reality that is sustained and fed by the mind. A reality that is entirely a mindscape, very much like the astral realm, a projection. It is also folly to assume we are the only beings in existence, as we perceive these voices that come from who knows where? For me i see them as spirits because that is what makes sense to me. Either way they exist and are telepathic in nature. This hearing of voices that is inside of the mind, and outside of the mind, proves to me that schizos have psychic ability. We are receptive to these beings that communicate inside of the mind. We communicate with them with our thoughts. This is telepathic communication. In my opinion schizophrenia is not a disease but is a symptom of an expanded reality. A reality that transcends physical dimensions and enters into other realms. Realms of thought and energy. It is not uncommon for a schizo to feel that they have superpowers that transcend conventional reality. This is because in my opinion they are transcending the natural laws of reality. Schizos are able to perceive beyond the boundaries of conventional reality, imo.
