Hey Tom,
Thanks so much for your post. It was really interesting. The story of your life so far doesnt seem like mine so much, but your actual symptoms etc seem the same. I'm 20 at the moment and came to see a pdoc first off for major depression. It was only after we'd tried loads of ADs and I still didnt feel much better, that my pdoc tried an AP. Then slowly as I got better, my thoughts started to come out. I didnt mention any of them before because as far as I was concerned, they were true. So why would I need to mention them to the doctor?!
One thing I will just ask you though. All of my delusions used to center around being persecuted etc etc and I never thought I had the delusions of grandeur. You know you mentioned having an "inflated sense of self", its making me wonder. I have always believed that somehow, after all this is over and I am better again, I will be famous. I will discover something or invent something and everyone will know me. I've always thought this is normal teenage-type ambition. But do you think it could be abnormal? I don't know.
Anyway thanks so much for replying to my post.
Hope you are doing well now. Keep in touch!
Kate xx
