Can You Tell If You Are In A Delusion?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I truly believe that my family and friends are working with the shadows that are trying to hurt me, But I also get the feeling that maybe it's not completely true and am not sure what to think.

Are you taking Gabapentin,"Neurotin"? I was recently on a large dose and started acting weird and making poor choices. I felt like I was in a constant state of Dr jau vou. I thought somehow people were bringing things that belonged to me at some point in my life.I was constantly seeing people and thinking I know them, but could not figure out how. It was awfully disconcertingly. I am feeling much better weening off.

I go through the same thing!! I think paranoid thoughts and obsessions kind of go hand-in-hand with depression. Like a part of anxiety. The fact that you realize it may not be true is proof it's not a delusion. :)

I thought my friends were trying to kill me at one point. Eventually I decided to tell them what was in my head. It was a very postive experience and drove away a lot of the bad thoughts. They work best when you are isolated and alone.

I have dry mouth and hallucinations as well with some memory loss. I take it 3xs a day. But my doctor will not take me off so I feel your pain!

No. Earlier this summer I was convinced that it was 1934 and it got so bad that I wouldn't let my husband use the AC. I would put a bowl of ice in front of a fan for him
