Yes, but what I see on here really are people trying to be positive and talk about other things besides what they are experiencing as far as the psychosis goes.

This will be the last time I post on this because I’m tired of talking about it myself. But I really appreciate the help I’m getting on this site. It’s kind of like group therapy.

I can’t.
In my memories I told the people to keep their bloody mouth shut to me but this is the decade where I find out so the next number of years is crap or get off of the pot time ye know?

We’re glad we can help. It’s like AA; it helps us to help others.
We just see you posting the same thing over and over but we don’t know if you’re trying to get help with this by talking to a therapist or a psychiatrist like you probably should be.

Maybe I have to read other people’s posts as well. Maybe that can help me by doing so. Thanks for the talk.

That might be a good idea. Yes, maybe you’ll see something that helps you. You’re very welcome.

Perhaps, like me, he/she is simply seeking answers? Resolution?
If one is stuck in a loop and can’t break it they are suffering. Personally I think some forum members here are quite cruel in how they handle those struggling with paranoia.
I understand bluntness. I’m like that myself. But for my money if someone needs to post about a particular issue then why not? If it alleviates some pressure.

Not trying to be cruel. Just see the same question asked over and over again, and after I answer it over and over again, while trying to be as tactful as possible, it seems the right thing to do is just answer the question in as direct a manner as it is asked. I have absolutely nothing against this poster but when she asks the exact same question every time, how are we supposed to answer it? I’m sorry if it comes across as blunt, I’m just trying to answer with the simple truth.

I agree @77nick77 . I am going to start closing repeat topics on this subject. If she decides to post about it again, she needs to keep it to this one thread.

I get it totally
Indeed my family have little contact with me because I go over the same things again and again. People get tired of it.
But, as my sister who suffers no mental illness, said to my shrink one day, what does being blunt achieve? You ain’t going to break a delusion like that. It’s a fixed false belief. Fixed.
Sometimes keeping one’s opinion to themselves is the most prudent course of action. Hopefully people will come round in their own time.
I ain’t getting on your case here. Just saying. Sometimes the wheels get stuck in the mud but there ain’t no point giving the car a push if the driver simply believes their at the wheel but ain’t.
Just saying…
Agreed on that Bowens. No point flooding the board.

That’s what I believe too. IDK what else to say to her; what are we supposed to say in this case? She almost leaves us no choice but to be direct and blunt. Are we supposed to say nothing? We all tell her she may need a med change or to talk to a doctor. I don’t know if she’s following that advice.
I know. It’s a pickle.
Say nothing and leave her in her delusion. Say something and it falls on deaf ears.
Me? Maybe just ask her her story? Engage with her delusion. Not in a shared delusion kind of way nor in humouring her. Just listen to what she has to say.
Tease it out and if a logical loophole appears point it out. You may not change her mind but you may plant a seed that will be of use to her at some point.
It’s not implausible there are hidden cameras but it is implausible anyone would bother you know?
Just my opinion of course.
