religious/spiritual delusions - Eridan - 08-25-2025
Does anyone else experience strongly religious/spiritual-focused delusions or become way more religious/spiritual when experiencing delusions? I'm not a very religious person or anything like that but during some of my episodes I experience religious delusions and often describe myself as very religious. Since going off my meds earlier in the year I've been told by multiple professionals that I'm experiencing psychotic symptoms since I started hearing gods telling me things (and also realized I'm an angel/demi-god from the things they've told me) and have since been way more in-tune with spirituality than usual
I've heard of cases similar to this when reading up on schizophrenia on the internet with very similar themes (hearing gods, being an angel/god, being chosen, etc), but I feel I don't often see delusions of this nature in actual schizo communities. I feel other people seem to have more persecutory/paranoia focused delusions (which is usually the case for me but not always, lately my persecutory/paranoid delusions have been very secondary and have always been directly related to things the gods tell me instead of stemming on their own)
