    I think my wife is in a psychosis state we’ve been together 19 years Hardly any issues in our marriage Back in March she had a eptopic pregnancy (tubes tied) refused medical treatment stayed in a our bathtub for 8-10 hrs a day I begged her to go to the hospital she refused to the point I got frustrated. A few days before she passed it she got laid off from her job of 8 years and my step daughter got put in a psych ward She snapped one night and got hysterical started saying she didn’t love me and hadn’t loved me in 4 years which is unbelievable. She faked a seizure a few days later and then started acting like baby saying things like “brain no work” and “cant hear out dis ear” and pointing at her left ear Did this for 3 hrs A few days later she said Buddha and Anubis came to her and told her that her time was limited and that she died when she was 10 and they came 3 days before she died she went from happy to angry to sad to angry blaming me for all sorts of things. I recorded her talking about it and saying she was a psychic and she talked to dead ppl tried to get her help she refused it I called 911 when she tried to take off they refused to take her b/c they didn’t hear her say she was going to harm herself she took off to her parents she told my daughter that “spirit guides” told her I was having an affair for 3 years that she was seeing ferries flying around the house at night and that she was cleopatra reincarnated. She’s refusing to come home wants divorce and is so hard to talk to her family won’t get her help because they hate me and they refuse to see it. She’s still saying and doing stuff I told her I had a dream of Buddha awhile back and she no you didn’t I’m talking to him now. I told her I got really depressed after she left and I drank till I blacked out and she was like I know Anubis told me you were supposed to die that night and I used my psychic powers to have him spare you. She’s done changed her mind 5 or 6 times on her career path she was gonna be a podcast star, then she was gonna sell sponsorship packages in marketing, then she was gonna sell podcast merch , then she was gonna go back to college at 38 and get a marketing degree then go to law school and be a lawyer for women athletes to she’s going to start a non profit and buy her parents home for 375k and now she’s gonna write a book is the newest thing.

I know im being delusional because i have a very bid self esteem, im not afraid of anything and overall i am very confident. I know these are good qualities but being diagnosed with bipolar disorder has led me to believe i am delusional. I think im overestimating my self, even though i have achieved some things that has contributed to my self esteem like getting in shape. I think im delusional but idk how exactly. 😢 please help

    One of the challenges of having bipolar disorder (I actually have Bipolar Type 2) is the fear that positive traits might be signs of mania or hypomania. For example, having lots of self-confidence is generally a good thing but if it derives from a mood upswing then it could be a bad thing. It can be frustrating trying to figure out whether your good mood is a healthy or unhealthy one. Here are some ideas that might be helpful: 1) Contact your psychiatrist or doctor discussing your concerns and see if they have some feedback or recommendations for you. 2) Talk to a trusted friend or family member who knows you well and knows about your diagnosis. See what they think. It also might be therapeutic to get your thoughts out. 3) Consider journaling your thoughts and feelings. 4) Meditate, pray, go for a quiet walk, or just do something that provides you the opportunity to think in peace. 5) Try to let go of some of your fears and stress. Whatever is going on, time will reveal it to you. Best wishes!

    I personally have alot of stress surrounding if Im being delusional hopeful or if im being logical. The logical thinking is actually just negative thinking, and the delusional is positive thinking so Im always worried that by having hope i'm being delusional and in being negative im actually just being logical. So I can never figure out if I actually believe in myself (delusional) or if the negative side of me is actually the only one being rational. Thats what I struggle with. Does that make sense? So like lets say I wanna create a business "Positive" Me is like Ok, this is what I know how to do, I feel like its the right step to take, I believe I can do this and be successful because I know x, x and x, and Ive researched the market and I know it will be hard but eventually i'll get there Negative me is more like Sure, but how many people have said that and become nothing, or gone bankrupt, and do you really think YOURE going to be the 1 in a million to make it work and what gives you the confidence that you even can, be real and just settle so which one is the one thats actually right and which one is wrong? Like there is the reality there that... yeah it's one in a million.. so what makes me think I can? And therefore positive me must be delusional. Do you know what I mean?

    I have a friend who is an addictive sports and horse racing gambler. He is ALWAYS staring at his phone and always talking about his bets. Non-stop. He never gets to the point where he can’t pay his important bills (mortgage, utilities, food etc). But even though he has always had a decent paying job, now in his 50s, he has no savings or investments, no retirement plan & drives a 15 year old junker with 350,000 miles and always need to borrow money for unexpected expenses (like car repairs). Every discretionary dollar is gambled. He’s not a dumb guy, so I think he probably understands that he’s “down” 100s of thousands of dollars in his lifetime, but he still talks excitedly when he has an occasional big win and what he’s going to do with the money (“that paid for my trip” or, “that paid for my new TV”). No apparent recognition of the fact that his gambling loses over time could have “paid for that trip” & “paid for that TV” with many thousands remaining. It’s a sad addiction.

But you can't be bothered getting buried under bs content. Okay, so it seems like your numbers driven, because helping just one person would make any video worth the time to record it. It seems your problem is the metrics aren't to your liking. You say you CAN overcome the algo, but if you could, then you'd use that formula in such a way to help more people correct? You tried your format, you wanted cash, you missed. I just feel sorry for the people thinking you're there for them. It clearly shows from the video that you aren't.

    Mate you just described the conundrum I have to deal with on a daily basis. How do you keep a level head with someone that far gone? After ten years of trying to reason with this type of person I have just given up even listening to them out of sheer exhaustion, It doesn't seem right but anything that is said is taken to the extreme like you mentioned and there is never any logical connections to the conclusions they cook up in their head. It seems impossible to make them understand that they're spewing nonsense.

    The important thing to recognize is that you have no obligation to make anyone understand their irrational behavior. I’m a huge fan of compassion but once you make that attempt to help and it goes unnoticed or unappreciated, then it might be time to just move on. Let’s consider an analogy: Let’s say you’re driving down the highway and see someone pulled over to the side with what appears to be a flat tire. If you stop and point out their flat tire and ask if they want help and they say “No, I don’t need help because I don’t have a flat tire,” then one of two things is true: (1) They don’t understand what a flat tire is, or (2) You don’t understand what a flat tire is. In either event, you tried to help but it didn’t solve the problem and a dead end was reached. That’s your cue to get back in your car and keep moving along on your journey.
