To make a long story short, since just before Christmas my mother has been "abnormal" and has become very suspicious of people around her, claimed she was a famous movie star (and is waiting for someone to tell her and get it over with already), insists that an Elvis impersonator is in love with her (and virtually stalked him for awhile), and is afraid to be alone in her house at night.

This all started ...

So of all the little things that I have done wrong in life, some have come back to me, and I feel like some day I will be punished by them. I feel like they are going to haunt me until I am confronted by the person I have wronged. These "punishments" COULD actually occur, but WOULD they?

Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with the delusional thoughts once you have accepted them as delusional? I am having a difficult time (see post DD…jealousy…). I am on medication and it helps but it has not provided the relief that I had hoped for. It’s almost as if I exist between reality and the delusions. I experience delusional thoughts daily and try to work my way through them without giving into ...
