People have found the following to be useful in helping them to deal with this aspect of schizophrenia:
1. Talk to someone you trust about thoughts that are troubling you. Checking out your thoughts with others can help to clarify things.
2. At times it is possible to remember previous delusional thoughts and to ’nip them in the bud’ if they occur again.
3. When you are well, explain to people you trust about your past delusions and tell them how to be supportive if they occur again.
4. Sometimes when you are delusional you may do things that you later feel embarrassed about. It can help to explain to the people who were affected by your delusions that you were unwell at the time. Remember, you can’t undo the past, so you must put it behind you and move on.
