Delusions, anyone?

[[Al...]]

Yeah, so im having "the truman show" delusions and im starting to get freaked out again.

Weird thing is that im aware that these are delusions, I can reason with it but still being insecure and confused on my thoughts.

 

Has anyone experienced this?

[[He...]]

I have it also

 

Dont fear your thoughts, i know its hard but its the fuel. And we Still able to identify, its not a true one, its intrusive thoughts and our head has trouble on handle it, thats why is confusing. Dont give value

 

I had a funny one: "bananas are dangerous"

Everyday. I am aware of my own delusions too, so what I just tell myself is that they are imaginary and thus *THEY CAN'T HURT ME* so I can just accept them as pointless frustrating thoughts. They have to exist as just pointless frustrating thoughts, not an actual indication of fear.

These are more than intrusive thoughts, I actually feel like I live on reality show. Like said, I can reason with that feeling, but from time to time I get scared that maybe its true. I also feel really detached from everything.

 

These happen periodically, as do all my sxs. (still only mentals, or so I think)

What if you took control and made the reality show a positive experience?

 

You have to create your own reality anyways.

 

I'm an artist and musician and regardless of benzo withdrawal, I often feel on a different page from the rest of the world. Thus, I just create my own world and it is basically is a reality show, my own show, and that's how I function in society.

It is quite difficult to take this as positive experience. Imagine if you felt like everything you do is being monitored and you subconciously are constantly trying to figure out what your role is.

I've always suffered from imposter syndrome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome) and only realised properly recently. My delusions have been spectacular in conjunction with this. I got it into my head about 2am for a couple of weeks that my affluent friend who was willing to bankroll my rehab had been paying another friend/my boss to employ me and I wasn't any good at my job at all.

I tend to try and discount thoughts if they are truly barking but this one slipped through the net. For no reason! I have a good employer who gives me feedback.

It is going to be OK, chin up
