Yes, there’s still a part of you that believes the food is poisoned.

Eh, not really. There’s a difference between paranoia and a paranoid delusion. Feeling is paranoia. Knowing is a paranoid delusion.

edit: There is also a distinction to be made for when you understand that other people think you’re delusional, but you don’t think so.

For me you can never say you are delusional. If you ever say that it goes from I believe in, to being I used to believe in. And for szs that is a huge difference.
