This is for those who have had delusions of persecution, specifically that a loved one was trying to harm you in some way.
Did you finally realize the other person wasn’t trying to harm you? If so, what made you realize this? How long did you have these thoughts? How did you feel towards that person during and after the delusion? Is there anything the other person can do to minimize those thoughts?
I required medication before I could realize that I wasn’t in harms way. When I’m stable and on medication I feel I understand the world around me much more clearly. I don’t think there was any possible way for me to have seen the delusion as anything other than a very real threat without medication.

Thank you. So I guess I’m out of luck unless he gets on meds. 
I used to believe neighbours of mine were Satanists and that they were plotting against m, to kill me as I was the Son of God. The delusion unravelled over time, I think it took many months.
How did it unravel for you?
I’m so desperate to try any suggestions.

it helped with medication…I was on olana]zapine 20mg
Ok:( so meds again:(
Omg I feel so helpless and powerless
@kasia, you should try joining a support group. Google support groups for schizophrenics. YOu might get help there. You sound like such a nice person, you shouldn’t let this guy get to you. Try tpo pamper yourself.
I love this man with all my heart. I can handle the other problems he’s had with it. But the delusions that he started of me trying to harm him is unbearable. No matter what I do he won’t believe me and it hurts. He has some huge elaborate plot set up in his mind. If it was delusions about someone else, I could handle it but it’s against me
And I’ve been there for him through everything for two and a half years.

Hey @kasia, I am sorry I did not reply anymore to your pm the other day. I had a lot going on in my head. My wife is emailing you now.

Thank you:) I haven’t forgotten you. I hope you’ve been well.
I went through an uneasy period but I am doing better.
I used to think that EVERYONE was against me, then I got on meds. I felt ambivalent towards loved ones. They did all they could. It was no ones fault, just ■■■■ happens.
I would say that the delusions lasted for about a year and a half before I got on my current AP. I even cooked my own food even though I lived with my family. I refused to eat or drink anything that I hadn’t seen go from a sealed bottle or package and onto a plate or in a bowl. I thought they were putting drugs and poison in my stuff.
I’m sorry you had a rough period but I’m happy you’re doing better. You will always be in my thoughts and I’ll be cheering for your good health:)
thank you ma’am
This disease is so heartbreaking
I’m so sorry you went through a year and a half of it. That had to be so hard on both you and your family.
So even now you only feel ambivalent towards them?
I actually trust my family now. I’m at ease around them, my symptoms are calmer around them than most other people.

Thank you. That gives me hope that maybe he won’t hate me still.
If I can just get him over the hurdle of actually going to the doctor for meds because it seems like meds are the only answer.
Yeah, we need meds to be normal. Unmediciated is truly insane.
