Hello all!
I want to see others opinions. Let's see if this makes sense. I found a close freind has a very rich fantasy life. He believes much of what is on YouTube about aliens, super soldiers, Planet X, and so forth. This is not what concerns me. He now believes he was a super soldier with the CIA who had implants placed inside him when a child. ETs visit him on a regular basis. Just the other night he found an alien in his kitchen late that night. He sees space ships in the sky everywhere he looks. The pictures are just clouds that present like a Rorschach test, like one can see bunny rabbit shaped clouds. On a hike, we saw a person who looked a bit unusual. He believes that person was a time traveler checking up on him. His mother and I are very concerned.
This situation has become much worse over time. Does this make any sense? I am not looking for a diagnosis. I just want your impressions on this situation. We do not know what to do. He is 55 years old. I am afraid of challenging his delusions. He is not able to hold down a job. He is on disability but not for what appears to be his MI.
Any comments will be appreciated.
