Im here seeking a classification of a problem ive been having lately or to see if others have similar problems.
Lately i cannot tell if my emotions and even my everyday thoughts are real from my heart or im manufacturing them because i know its how i should feel or what i should be thinking.
Latest example-
My father passed away in November and today being fathers day im feeling sad. Tears fell, etc. However, i find myself questioning the motives behind the sadness. Am i sad because i know i should be sad or because i miss my dad.
This is just the most recent example, but even right now, as im writing this post im questioning the motive behind it. Like - am i looking for sympathy? Do i want help? Or am i simply just asking a question? Etc.
So without flirting with novel territory, does this sound familiar to anyone or is there a psychological classification of these types of thoughts?
Kind regards and love,
Dmags.

have you made one of those tests online for personality disorders?
i have, and everytime i get something difference...
i have the same....i even thought i had already answered this email before.
anyway.. we are considering DID....is it really questioning, or is there a wider discussion over who takes the leading role....
or OCD.....that obssessive thought pattern....
or ...or....
make the test and let us know what you get...
i always question the floor where i stand...it thought that i was over...honest..
now i wonder...
i do not relate much to feelings, more to principles...my emotions are a bit distant and distorted

hi,
my experience with delusional emotions is that they are the worst mental illness to deal with.
I'd take intellectual delusions over emotional delusions any day... you can fact check intellectual details and data. Emotions.... less so.

i have never heard of emotional delusions...but i am kind of new in this field...
how do you make a difference between this and that continuous self questioning that often occurs with asperger for example?
