One of the most common delusions experienced in schizophrenia is paranoid delusions. This is where you believe that something, or someone, is deliberately trying to mislead, manipulate, hurt or, in some cases, even kill you. Paranoid delusions can range from believing in everyday 'normal' delusions, such as being convinced that your partner is being unfaithful, to more unusual delusions, such as believing that the CIA is plotting to assassinate you.
Another relatively common type of delusion is a delusion of grandeur. This is thebelief that you have some imaginary power or authority, such as thinking you are the King of England or that you have the power to cure cancer.
Another common delusion in schizophrenia is to start attaching undue and misguided significance to everyday events belief that you have some imaginary power or authority. For example, you may start to think that songs being played on the radio are actually about you or that newspaper headlines are being used to send you secret messages.

Can you at least acknowledge that you have engaged in some of the thoughts described above?
This thread is a perfect example of "attaching undue and misguided significance to everyday events."

I think that websites such as ATS are not good for your mental state IDK88. Please forgive my directness.

It would seem to me, a non-medical professional, that this type of message board would be an excellent way for a potential schizophrenic to write out what's in their mind, so that they don't do it in a more inappropriate setting...
Also remember...you are following me around. Please forgive my directness.
