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

"suffer from delusions and know that they are delusions"

This statement is oxymoronic.

A delusion is defined as not being able to tell it is false. So if you know they are delusions, it's not a delusion.

And also, nobody would be able to tell you of the delusions they HAVE, as again, it wouldnt be a delusion. They could tell you what the delusions were if they are in remission, but not if they are currently being experienced
