Hello everyone my name is mike I am 24yrs old and I live in Cleveland Ohio.And I believe i suffer from DD.The reason is for the last 3-4yrs I have had the same reoccurring thought That i was on trial for suspicion of murder when i was 17 , during my so called trial i was repeatedly beat to a pulp by friends and family was urinated on vomited on and defecated on for days on in by the people who attended this trial.Most of the abuse came from the hands of my family members.OK I'm 99% sure this is completely not true,but i guess there is 1% of me that's sorta believes it I have even as went so far as to contact people I believe that insulted and assaulted me during this trial and have asked them point blank my name is mike and you were at my trial and you did this to me.and they completely deny even knowing who i am or participating in something like that.Even Though these people tell me its not true i cant rid myself of this delusion,I mean during this trial that i believe took place in 2003 or 2004 is was full of celebrities such as Lebron James,James Gandolfinni lots of professional athletes and actors some were there to help me but eventually turned on me.OK the ways this same delusion affects me is I think about it 85% the day I find my self laughing at some of the things that happend during this trial i Even reenact some of the things that happened when I'm alone or know nobody is watching this gets me really sad and down.I am currently on 1mg of risperdal and 40mg of fluoxetine I take these every night before i go to bed.So what I am asking how do you completely recover from paranoia and Delusional disorder. I have seen and a shirnk for a few yrs know every 6 months.but her advice to do something to take your mind off of it does not really help.So I would like to know what type of delusion this sounds like and if you suffer form the same type what did you do to get over it or cope with it.My life has been really difficult since my mental illness developed in my late teens and i just want to be happy and outgoing again.

Any feedback or advice would be extremely helpful thanks for reading this.

Besides seeing a psychiatrist every 6 months, you should see a therapist more often. Just relying on meds might not be enough. You need someone to help you through your issues - and family and friends are not qualified to be anything else than supportive.

The short answer is: yes, you can get through and live a "normal" life. But it will take some work and a sustained effort by yourself, with professional help. Therapists will be able to help you examine the causes and symptoms of your disorder, and devise a workable treatment plan. Meds only treat symptoms not the causes.

"to do something to take your mind off of it" is good advice in the right context. Just doing something is not going to work. In fact there is a risk of those somethings becoming OCD anchors. That is why you need a structured treatment plan, which gives you a range of activities to focus on. In many cases taking up a hobby or a sporting activity will help greatly towards that goal.

Mike,
I'm sorry to hear about all the stuff that you're trying to deal with. It's a good thing that you have some sense (insight) that this stuff probably didn't happen. Because you're still able to distinguish ( 99% of the time) what is probably true then this is the time to get help. When my husband first started dealing with delusions he sort of had some idea that some of the things he was thinking probably weren't true. A couple of years have gone by and now he has no insight that some of the ideas that he clings to simply aren't true. Are you fairly confident that the doctor that you're going to is able to help you? Is there any person that you trust who could help you figure out? Maybe all you need is a hobby, but if that isn't helping your obsessive thoughts maybe different drugs would help more. I know someone who did get better with medicine. Maybe every 15 or 20 years it gets readjusted but she has been fine for 40 or 50 years. There is hope for a normal life. I hope you have someone who will help you figure out what to do.
so sad

To have a mind constantly thinking about something undesirable, sadly I think, cannot be fixed by doing anything on purpose. You can only wait until the right moment comes and you'll start to think about some other things from that point on naturally. I believe in Providence and predestiny, which means there are ceratin things in our lives that we can't really control. I guess the more you try to avoid these thoughts, the more often they come to you. It can't be helped now, but I believe you'll get into another stage in life after a while, perhaps several months, or perhaps some years, coincidently. No one can know how long it shall take. That is the mysterious part of our world.
Psychiatric drugs will not fix your problems at all. If someone does think he/she gets better with medications, it's only because his/ her brain has become some sort of glue that can not function when on medications. When one experiences a slowered brain and dulled senses, he certainly thinks less. Psychiatry damages brains. One will start to have his mouth water, walk with an unbalnced gait, talk inarticulately and have some physical problems when he/she takes medication.
In fact, you don't really have to consider yourself having DD, because DD or whatever are terms minted by human beings just like you, based on their opinions only. Psychiatry is no science.

Virginia Star has been banned from this site before, time to do so again before she causes more damage. The person is, pardon the expression, nuts.

The only thing I can think of to get your mind off of what had happened is to get involved in some sort of activity that requires lots of thinking. I had to do this the other day, when I was convinced my mother went through my things, because my English homework book was lying on my bed, wide open. Best luck to you, Mike.

No need to bother, I don't think...this was an old post of hers. As far as I can tell she hasn't visited the site since December.
