Why believe in this "Satan"?
Quote:I mean this was intense evil aimed at me in these dreams to the point that I ended up believing like I said thats source is from the outside. i was tormented.And as I said, why can't these extremely bad nightmares just be extremely bad nightmares?
Quote:There is some explanation for it. This was the second time that I have been taking antidepressants. I was taking them because of the anxiety disorder brought on by schizophrenia. I am on antipsychotics as well. When ever I try coming of antidepressants I end up with then same experience.
In the past I've believed I was God, Jesus, Satan, An Alien, the Anti-Christ, and much much more - I'd lost my mind. I've been on anti-psychotics, a mood stabilizer and a sleeping pill. I'm now on the same mood stabilizer, Lithium, after having it reduced and now put back up again to 800mgs. I'm no longer on a sleeping pill but I am on a different anti-psychotic with a handy side-effect of also being a sleeping pill because mania comes on if I lack sleep.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (manic depression) back in January 2007 when I was 18. I'm now 22.
There's a very simple explanation for the delusions I had: They were just delusions.
And even if such an obvious explanation wasn't available, that's no reason to believe my delusions were true and so not delusional.
As I have said, why do you need to believe in this 'Satan'. If you find a rational explanation insufficient to explain something why does that then mean that a highly irrational explanation is preferable? It doesn't.
Quote:However, you see when I am on medication like right now I am fully sane. So I am not delusional and its been a while since I had these dreams. i have managed to dich antidepressants.
I have read somewere I think that you are on antidepresants. Try not to get to unhappy. I just have low expectations in life and it works well for me.
Actually I can't take anti-depressants to treat my highly obsessive thinking because they can bring on my mania. Which sucks. This is perhaps one reason why bipolar, manic depression, is a bigger killer than than unipolar depression: It's harder to treat.
