My father's trying to get her to stay in the family home, not at her apartment.
I hope your father gets his way.
A hospital? Jesus. People suck.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's been my experience with schizophrenia that although the "narrative" of the delusion may change to accommodate changing circumstances, reality has no effect whatsoever to destroy the delusion. You can't talk a schizophrenia out of his delusion, and you can't prove to him he's wrong. As my mother discovered when she tried to "talk some sense" into my Psycho Ex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. The article mentions people with the delusion they're dead. You might think that every second of life they experience would be sufficient to refute that belief, but no....

Why has there not been a reality TV version of this?
Or a sitcom. (It reminds me of Exidor from Mork and Mindy.)

One of the people in a schizophrenia study I worked on had an SAE (I put that in just for java and P-C) of exacerbation of schizophrenia, wherein this was shown because...he was convinced he was the SUN. And I'm reading along going "How the HELL do you manifest that?? "Don't touch me, I'll burn you"?!?"

My sister just landed in LA, so if any LAistas think they see me on the street this weekend, you should freak her out by shouting "HI MEGAN!"

He got dimmer and dimmer around 6 each night?
