Can therapy help delusions about the Cia?

I’m not paranoid but I’m delusional that my doctors going to give me a government security clearance whenever I go to see him Thursday. Is there a way to connect the mind with logic of false belief. My whole psychosis revolved around getting a job in the CIA. My dad works for the government and has a security clearance. The voices told me he was offering me a job. I know it’s not true but what are the odds of having a schizophrenic with a dad who has a security clearance.

I should add I speak both spanish and Russian and half false memories of my dad saying he worked for the cia

I believe therapy will help you. I have a bad delusion myself and am going in on wednesday for my first appointment. I am nervous, but i will face my fear. I believe it will help me. You should go on thursday.

My doctors appoint is a psychiatry appointment he doesn’t do much therapy. It would be nice to just escape this one delusion but all my false memories don’t help.

Sure thing but i doubt they hire schizophrenics

I had a 1% chance of having schizophrenia. I wonder what the chance of having a dad with a top secret security clearance too is.

very slim in my opinion. very slim chance

He worked for cell-tel first I know he has one but it just makes me delusions worse.

What does your dad tell you he does for work?

Install satellites. He travels the world and emphasized he knew 11 languages on his resume. He’s been to New Zealand, Abu Dabi, Australia and more

I find it hard to believe that he just installs satellites and makes 100,000 per year or so but I know it’s true I just can’t believe it.

CIA doesnt give a ■■■■ about anyone.

FBI handles most domestic ■■■■.

CIA is all about international crap for the pres… Engineering economic warfare and ■■■■…

Works too.

Rest easy mate…

Think of it like this. If you ain’t gonna bomb something or kill anyone… You’d check out with them…

There is a multitude of people more skilled/hazardous/intelligent than any of us.

Mental illness won’t get you black listed.

You are to close to worldly operations… A reflection of early years of fantasy and speculation.

Clear your mind man… Learn trust. Everyone else is just like you. We all small fish.

Get some rest. Build your life.

Interesting thread. My husband’s sister worked for an intelligence agency (not CIA) but had a TS clearance until she developed late-onset sz which impacted her ability to do her job. Her delusions are all about the cia. She, however, seems to truly believe hers.

Would cognitive behavioral therapy help for your delusions? Maybe ask the psychiatrist to recommend someone. Since you are interested in dealing with it, the time is ripe to begin.

The voices say CIA is actually the nations first line of defense against the foreign enemy but also the least violent department in the governement. They seek change through nonviolent means like spying and recruiting

What I believe my dad does is weapons specialist supervising weapons delivery. This isn’t what he says he does unless he’s in my head

your dad does what he tells you. believe it

That’s a fantasy you cooked up in the instant of an epiphany… Fulfilled your mind on some level…

You research the CIA at all? See what they actually do?

I researched the CIA a lot both through sane and crazy eyes. The crazy part tells me they do something different than they advertise because what they advertise is interpreted also by foreign enemies
