It’s rare that a symptom like that just goes away.

You have to work at it.

Are you in therapy yet?

Try not to give the thoughts any time or dwell on them.

Just immediately dismiss them and try to distract yourself.

Idk if my meeting a psych nurse every week counts as therapy

I think you should be doing CBT,

Have they talked about that?

Sorry, then

I think saying she might be detecting something is feeding that delusion.

I thought that maybe a bad signal
by the mother’s side, made her have paranoia.
Something small, insignificant, but negative.
I just assumed that delusions have some basis.

This is the most insightful thing you’ve written. I am very proud of you.

I’ve had alien delusions for over thirty years now. You just get used to it and push it to one side.
