Delusional

Anyone else come to the realization that their intrusive thoughts had pushed them to the point of delusion? I genuinely believed a stressful interpersonal issue in my mind was real and I kept hearing people talking about me everywhere I went, as if this information had spread. It freaked me out so much and I was shocked to realize none of it was real. I’m wondering how common this is… Is this common?

Dealing with this right now, it’s like regardless of any ounce of clarity you can receive- your brain still takes that clarity worth a grain of salt and there’s a part of you that can acknowledge the delusion but you can’t see past it. A scary feeling

@Melody2022 I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with this too. It is scary. And I hope that that clarity sticks more for you with time

Yeah! That’s how it is. My boyfriend and therapist told me the things I believed people were saying about me made no logical sense and seemed like an ocd projection. But it all felt impossible to accept as untrue… until I apologized to the person who was the subject of the thoughts, and he was like “Hey. This never happened.” It was such a bittersweet yet freaky moment
