psychosis/ in hell delusions

Posted by dondon on February 13, 2005, at 21:00:49

Has anyone ever had the belief that they are already dead and in hell? It seems like a bizare belief but a person who has lost their memory or a depressed person might have this belief.

When I had severe (no, no...SEVERE) depression, I woke up one day with the brief thought that perhaps I had died and was living in some sort of hell or purgatory. Fortunately, the feeling didn't stick, but it was scarey nonetheless.

Not really but here lately, this depressed/agitated state has to be somewhat close to what hell must be.

Yes, during a severe psychotic depression I did have that delusion. It was brief but felt so real.
I'm sorry if you are going through this right now.And if you are, you should probably be in the hospital.

The feeling just gets worse and worse. Get out of W/D, and feel semi okay, and now the worlds falling apart again! Fondly, Phillipa
