No one told you to do this. Your illness did. Psychosis causes distorted thinking. I know because I have struggled with this sort of thing before. When I was ill I had a tendency to believe people told me to do things when they did not. Sometimes I even believed my thoughts belonged to them. It all fit the delusional theme.

Dad doll's doesn't make sense. Mental health workers wouldn't ask you to mail items and instruct you to call your son's father a fag. It is unethical. It really helps to question thoughts like this. I found this very helpful in sorting out what was real or not in my mind when I was recovering. If it doesn't make sense or fit in this reality it is due to your illness.
