My neighbors hiring someone to kill me or they themselves hurting me. I haven’t thought about it in a while and I just wish it would go away. I hardly ever leave except to my parents places. Grocery store. Why do I have to explain myself?
I’m sorry for bringing this up again but talking with y’all helps.
That may be one argument, also thinking rationally how much they really dislike you could be helpful.
Usually neighbors are busy people with a rich social life, unless there have been clear and serious episodes of hostility, they will probably think about you no more than a few seconds a day.
I know how you feel @roxanna, because I can’t shake the belief that my mother in law (and perhaps other in laws) want to harm me. The only thing protecting me is my husband’s presence.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s just projection of my feelings onto them but it’s true my feelings towards them and very real. They dislike me because I’m mentally ill and a burden and I’m unsuitable wife for their son/brother
My mother in law tries to control me thru my mind and sometimes she can read my thoughts if I make eye contact with her
She may well know that I suspect her intentions towards me
i use to have these problem too, i thought my whole family wants to kill me until i was on medication i realize it was just a delusion in head. I felt really silly about it.
I had to delete all my social media profiles. My sister told me to because she had Googled my name and found my Quora account. So I went onto LinkedIn and contacted them directly about some bizarre accounts I’d set up whereby I’d used a different name and given job experience that simply wasn’t true. I find it difficult coming to terms with the delusions, but believe me it does get better. At least you’ve noticed that they were present, which is key. I used to believe that my watch was bugged by the intelligence services, that the red light in the television was reading my mind and many other delusions or beliefs that simply weren’t true. It’s important to analyse in your mind whether something is factual or not, by looking at the facts that are presented and seeing if it all fits together or not. In many cases it doesn’t and this gives me no surprise when I hear that schizophrenia or the effect of the medication has an impact on intelligence.
