Does anyone else suffer with the delusion that their ex is going to kidnap or murder you? I constantly get stuck in this and I’m new to having it feel 100% real. Enough time passed that I’m sure it’s a delusion again. I just joined this forum so forgive me if it’s been brought up recently!
I’ve had plenty of kidnap/murder paranoid thoughts yes. It sucks. I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a very little girl even.
I had thoughts that mom wanted to murder me.
never had an ex though.
I have paranoid delusions that I will be mentally/physically tortured and murdered. That’s the #1 reason I take my meds. I am a very delusional person but the paranoia is what keeps me taking the meds.
I had the delusion that my husband or 9 yo son would kill me if I fell asleep.
I’ve had this delusion, but it was right after getting out of an abusive relationship, so I don’t know how delusional it was. Time and space helped me, as did my grandfather kicking him out of town.

I’ve been kidnapped before, and then another guy tried it again but i got out again.
And i’ve almost been murdered numerous times and also threatened numerous times with things like getting stabbed to death. My “brother” even tried to kill me with crack because he hates me and wants me to die.
However, not an ex, i’ve got ninety nine problems but a bitch ain’t one yo!
yes - one - was going to be raped by 6 guys while they chopped off body parts in a hotel on my own
two - white vans all had peoplel in them with plastic sheeting aka Dexter
three - had a delusion where i was being followed by an axe murderer - i drove to a church and knelt down thinking i’d be beheaded any second
I believed that my ex wanted to murder me. It was so hectic I even told my siblings about her plans. I told them that if I end up dead they must know that it was my ex.

That happened to me after we broke up, it was an abusive relationship too, it was over 5 years ago, but just recently it came back again really hard. Someone hacked my phonnne, and I thought it was him. All hell broke loose. For over two months
That sounds really scary. Sorry you had to deal with that.

I have recurring nightmares about being murdered in various ways. My delusion is that if I drive, everyone on the road will be trying to kill me. 
Its best not to dwell on these thoughts, they lead to more bad thoughts and it becomes a vicious cyle. We don’t want to get caught in that do we?
Omg I sound just like ninjastar!

Yes, me. That’s the thought that started the paranoia. It was sort of based in truth though, because he did say and do some pretty weird and threatening stuff: he said he would kidnap our son, I would die after he got the legal rights over our son, he had a gun (which is weird in our country) or he would track and follow us everywhere and had all sorts of ways to find out everything about me. That started my paranoia. I made it much and much bigger in my head though, thinking he had poisoned us and was a member of the maffia, and he would most definitely kill me and kidnap our son, etc.
I usually end up muttering the kidnapper in my delusion.
When court was going on I would get delusions that my ex was being tortured. One time things didn’t seem to go well and I just wanted to leave but the further and further I got out of the court room the stronger the thoughts would get. I’d pass a billboard and they all related to how I wanted him to die. I couldn’t decide and didn’t want to. My neighbor was driving me and I passed this one billboard about a gun range and everything she’d say to me pertained to it. She was wanting to get off the highway and I was not having it. I hate it when things seem really bad and then everyone tries to contact you. This is when I freeze up or freak out. When I was with my ex I had this moment where he was out to get me. Things would start to get hazy and then things would go extreme when I would start addressing what was going on with me. I’d freeze up but he would scream and yell and then I would just start letting him know. This one time I thought he married my ex-girlfriend and every e-mail I opened pertained to it. Why all of sudden did I start getting e-mails with her name in them? He’d call me names and dropped me off at the furniture store. I got lost in the mattress store and thought that I was on a TV show and was waiting for the cameras to come out. The more and more I’d resist going thru something it’d get stronger.
Hi, @experimentx. Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
Thanks,
