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.

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.)

I was going to say 80's sitcom too!

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"?!?"

he was convinced he was the SUN.

How did he sleep?

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!"

How did he sleep?

He got dimmer and dimmer around 6 each night?

Thanks again for the good wishes for my family. And stupid country. The stressing is not helping the headache, let me tell you.

The meeting I'm supposed to present in ends in 2 minutes. I wonder if they run over. I've never dialled in before. We've been waiting on this architectural approval for over a week. Grr.

Oh, I hate dealing with IT people who are obviously new and trying to hide it. I don't care if you don't know our program, but don't try to BS me when you don't show the slightest sign of logically figuring out how any program is functioning. We're looking for files marked In Progress. "Here's a file that's marked A/In Progress. What does that mean?" Well, maybe it's a file that's In Progress, bucky, huh?
