Hi, I have been under a massive delusion for over a year but have recentley just naturally come out of it. The delusion involved me thinking everything was a set up, like a movie, and the people in my life weren't who I thought they were, just actors or VIP's pretending to be them. So of course I played along and of course nobody noticed that I was really out of my mind! Nobody, not my psychiatrist or family had any idea for one WHOLE year! Now I have come out of this delusion I am absolutely depressed and have ridiculous crushes on a few VIP's. Oh dear. The worrying thing is I also thought all my medication had been replaced by sugar tablets so was taking god knows what into my system as I took far too many painkillers during this time. I am terrified of telling anyone about this in fear that I may be sectioned, although now I am back to being totally insightful and sane. I think it was stress that induced the delusion as my relationship was going through a rocky patch. So, to tell or not to tell? What do you think? Anyone ever been in this situation?

You won't be sectioned if you're not currently displaying any symptoms. Or you might be. I don't know. But I doubt it. But don't listen to me. Seriously. Don't.

My one suggestion would be to not mention anyone messing with your pills. That's a huge red flag and my middle go round was because I thought the pharmacy & others were messing with my meds. I was shipped out of pdoc's office, into a police car, and then to a hospital to be reevaluated. I did manage to stay out of the hospital thanks to a kind doctor. 2 weeks later I was back in the hospital for something different.

Thanks for the replies, and thanks for the link to the song! I am going to keep quiet as I am now totally sane again and have enough insight to realise exactly what happened to me. There's no way I'm going back to the hospital, I've got my own little recovery sorted right here at home. Still loneliness is a problem though but then again I do like being on my own so can't complain too much.
