Do you see a therapist on a regular basis?
What sort of delusions?
What sort of delusions?
Oh my goodness, that must be awful. Does medication and therapy help you?Due to communication delay, I felt that everyone is the same. Then at age 13-20, I had a delusion that I murdered a child when I was 4 years old. And from age 15, I had a delusion that the military police is after me.

That sucks. It’s good at least that you know they’re delusions.Yes, it does, although a scary delusion comes back when I am very depressed.
What does psychosis feel like?
This is a tough question because everyone experiences
psychosis in their own way. Often, there may be experiences such as:
• Feeling like your mind is playing tricks on you
• Things relate to you in a special way – a way that no one else notices
• Hearing people talking or criticizing when you can’t see the person who is
talking (the talking person is nowhere to be found)
• Feeling like certain things are super important in some special way
• Making tenuous connections between things that are not usually connected
How can one begin to manage the symptom includes the following:
• Getting good sleep
• Taking medications prescribed by your doctor
• Avoid use of alcohol and other recreational drugs
• Sticking with a Dr and a therapist and develop a plan for recovery
• Staying active through exercise and social engagement
• Stay in touch with people who support you
• Talking with family or some trusted person in your life about what you are experiencing.
