doctors have many times attempted to send me to residential treatment centers and state hospital for years but usually my parents got me out of those situations. even after turning 18 the doctors still relied heavily on my parents for my decisions. like my therapist im seeing now - she wont let me come in unless im with my dad.
i actually dont feel delusional really. like i dont feel like im "bad" or whatever as far as delusions go. but im told i am delusional all the time. by family and people on facebook that i know and by my doctor and stuff. etc.
i obsess a great deal and have many beliefs regarding government and religion and the supernatural and world and social events.
im really just a heartbeat away from another hospitalization. probably state hospital too.

The words "state hospital" have been tossed at me too. How bothersome. But yeah I can relate, every doctor I've ever seen has told me my prognosis is pretty bad. I'm glad I'm naturally optimistic, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a firm belief that things will get better for me.
I got on disability first try, too. People told me to be prepared to have to get a lawyer and such because most people get denied the first time around. Not for me. I must be bad off if even social security sees it so plainly. Sheesh.
