Awkward


*

I've come to the realization someone very close to me needs help. They are very hyper sensitive and suspicious to the point of delusion.

I'm to the point I just want to cut and run but then I think about the person I know is inside...with a lot to offer if they can get help.

How does one get help to someone with this kind of a problem?? Ironically, it feeds into the primary delusion that nobody can be trusted, they are always misunderstood and people are out to get them!

We'll get through it somehow, although the details of this process elude me at the moment!

Hope you all are having a happy easter.

My theory is that mistrust is truly the root cause of everything the non trusting person fears. Their life is their own self fulfilling prophecy. The mind is an incredibly creative thing so what first appears on our mental screen often then does indeed erupt forth into the physical realm.

But trying to teach someone who believes things happen the other way around is actually a very tough trick. Good luck with it!

There can be a number of reasons why someone is experiencing delusions of being pursued.

First, I'm assuming that you know it's completely false. Sometimes, if a person is being slaked or otherwise pursued by someone, that can bleed over into the rest of their lives.

This could also be evidence of depression (with a psychotic manifestation), bi-polar or. probably most seriously, schizophrenia (depending on their age).

If I had a friend who I thought needed help but wouldn't get it, I would go talk to a counselor and see what they would suggest in terms of getting them help.

I'm going to assume that your friend isn't danger to themself or other people. It its that serous then you may have recourse to alert the authorities.

Good luck, this is never an easy thing.

You are a good guy and friend for trying to help...how do you change someone's deep rooted fear? good question...afraid I don't really have any solution...maybe just reassure him...if he trust you...he might eventually begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel...best probably if you can convince him to seek professional help...have a wonderful Easter...

Professional help and lots of time. Medication in some cases but not all. It won't happen over night but it can happen. Good luck.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

I also have a friend who is evidencing paranoia. I know him quite well. so I have felt comfortable gently broaching the subject to him that what life appears like to him might not actually be reality. I'm quite certain he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and the paranoia is an offshoot of that. Sometimes gently talking to a person who trusts you can help. Good luck.

Elevate me...

It's not always an easy answer, or one that is consistant.

Honestly, LT, the thing that works for me is to ask myself, "What would Love do now?" and then listen for the answer. It's never wrong, no matter what I might have thought to the contrary. Good luck with this.

There is no substitute for patience and trust-building from a friend. There is no easy fix.

I hope it all works out, and looking at the date, has done already.
