delusions after marijuana
Posted: 07-15-08 13:40pm

So, I was completely normal for ther first 18 years of my life. Than, it started around the summer of 2006 when I first tried marijuana (first and last time at that). I believe the marijuana was laced but thats another topic. I had psychosis and I thought a demon had chased me and I thought Id died as a result of the marijuana. Than, one day a few weeks later, I was in my room watching television and the show was like about christ, etc, etc. So, I guess I experienced psychosis again and I just started acting completely weird. My mom took me to a hospital and I was put in the psych ward. This just started the downward spiral. Ive been on haldol for the past two years and some days I feel good, and some days I dont. I see illusions and have delusions or whatever, I dont ever recall having hallucinations or hearing voices though, I just feel like im losing touch with reality sometimes and having grandiose thoughts. The battles seems to be between me, god, and satan. During the day, Im completely normal. But, it's at night when the thoughts happen. I think Im being attacked by demons, aliens, or monsters. It's completely weird. Sometimes, I cant even sleep at all. Sometimes ill have my eyes closed for a bit and the thoughts just bombard me and when I open my eyes and look behind me, I think somethings gonna come attack me. And also, dont let there be a show on tv about God, or an advertisement about a scary movie, it just seems like its too good to be true. What can I be experiencing?

I would strongly suggest you get to a psychiatrist and get evaluated. Paranoia, grandiosity, losing touch with reality and delusional material all suggest some type of psychiatric disorder. You need a doctor to evaluate and diagnose you.

I agree strongly with the above.

Hmmm, since you already have developed a true belief system, maybe I (schizo, dunno if you are) can help...

You truly believe and know there is a God, you may be able to catch glances of what is happening in the spiritual world, but you will not be able to understand it completely...we we're not created that way. Your faith (which will be with you 20 years from now, solid as a stone) is causing you to feel your heart, then insecurity comes in and screws it all up...it will happen all the time and I suggest you don't fight it...be submissive and let it happen, it sounds like the end result is a negative, but I assure you it's not, it's very...hmmm.....peaceful really...

You are in this somewhat deep...that is why I am offering this off-the-wall advice to you. Others reading this post, I am aware of the odd nature of my suggestions...I had to go through this crap all alone and it sucked, I do think it is somewhat helpful and you are more than entitled to think differently (duh)...

I don't suffer the same as you but I am bipolar and have racing thoughts. I don't like letting my mind wander so at night I keep the tv on, so I just drowned out my thoughts and that helps me fall asleep. Just make sure not to turn it onto channels that have shows about religion.

But you need to go back to your doctor and let them know that you need your medication adjusted that you are having trouble. They need to know this so they can help you.
