I have some stranger observing me

[anon83141956]

I talk to them.

Because I’d rather accept than deny.

I learnt from recovery college that I should not fight things in my head.
Because that sets off the flight fight freeze response which in chronic time is bad for the body.

So I talk to them, instead of ignoring them. Because ignoring is not an option as I’d be fighting the delusion.

But

Only when it feels necessary to. (talk)

And it does seem to help. In terms of the strength of the delusion becoming less stressful.

Oh

Also

@Mr_Hope s post has struck a chord in me.

I have nothing to prove to anyone.

So in the start I was constantly defending things that I was doing or thinking.

Now it isn’t the case as much.

I hope to reach a point where I can feel fully comfortable with myself.

Maybe at that point the delusion will go. And if not, I’d like to hope that the stress will be gone completely from the delusion’s presence

I Don’t really talk to it anymore. Instead I do acknowledge its existence since pretending that its not there is more stressful.
