(I like this thread a lot and would love to keep it going a bit longer.)

Pomegranate asked, a good while ago now:

They'd even be in charge of traffic and TV conversations!

But when I'm too depressed, stressed or triggered that's not only what I think - I Believe it and will go off on people based on my feeling & thinking that they are doing things on purpose to make me angry, or hurt me or teach me a lesson. Like that. I feel hopeless and like I have no control over my life. Calling "********" when I'm in that zone would just make me go right off the edge and act really crazy, maybe even hurt myself or someone else.
Even when you're in that zone, you eventually come down from it (freak back in, in the vernacular). I would not expect any competent therapist to call ******** on you when you're frankly delusional and couldn't handle it, but to start with something like helping you learn to freak back in a little faster until you can catch yourself and are hardly freaking out at all.
Thanks for this!
