Does anyone here ever get delusions or delusional thinking? Is it possible to suffer from delusions and know that they are delusions? Also, do delusions get more intense or worst over time if not dealt with? I am scared to tell my mental health team that I have delusions because I fear it is the nail in the coffin to diagnosing me with schizophrenia. My delusions are usually paranoid in nature or have something to do with people getting one over on me or doing things to purposely make me mad. Or I have other delusions as well, such as people say things or do things just for me when they don't hahaha. Its hard to explain

... If anyone here does have clinical delusions could you please share?

Thanks

Did you self diagnose with delusions or are they just intrusive thoughts?

One thing I always remember my psych saying is 'being delusional or paranoid isn't just thinking what if there's a tracking device in my phone. Its actively taking your phone apart, frantically searching for the tracking device because you know the CIA are after you, but you're one step ahead of them'.
