I am getting tired of people telling me that I am delusional, I know what is going on and just wish that I could find somebody who understands.

I worked for one of the richest people in the world back in early 2000 until 2004, his family was one of the ruling families in the world. Ever since I left his employ my life has been a **** show. My wife, doc, psych, and therapist all tell me that this is a delusion, but you cant tell me that these families, who have been in control for hundreds of years don't have influence.

I am tired of fighting these people, I cannot win, they control the world and I just live in it.

Has anyone else had delusions that have lasted for years, if this is a delusion I have it very well thought out.

I can't exactly relate but since i have had bizarre religious delusions in the past, my husband and family tend to think some of my beliefs and most of my spiritual experiences are delusional when they certainly are not. I know that isn't a huge help but I can relate a little with people calling everything delusional or just in my head. What exactly do they think happened? Do they think you never had the job or just that the family didn't have influence? I hope you get it worked out soon and am sorry you are experiencing this.

I would "guess" they all can not be wrong. Seems to me your life spends too much time on those you worked for, whether you actually did or not. I may be smelling fish or something.

people who are delusional don't realize that they are delusional. They believe everything that they are experiencing or believing is "real", when in fact, it is not.

Delusion: an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.

I have had major delusions. Back in my crazy religious days, I once thought that I was communicating with god, that he was trying to help me succeed and be enlightened. I was so convinced of this, that I started to hallucinate during the peak of my manic episode. I saw a cellphone glowing a happy face at me in the dark, when I whispered to it. It was communicating a secret code to me to guide me in my actions to find enlightenment/success.

Did I believe it was real? Of course! That is how the delusion happened in the first place. I could physically see the cellphone glowing and communicating a message to me when I whispered at it.

Was this real? No, I was delusional. Delusions can be as strong as waking dreams and cause hallucinations.

To clarify, when I left working for him he told me he was going to ruin my life and that I would never work again, after a year of looking for work I moved from Portland Oregon back home to be out of his reach. But it seems that he has connections out here as well. My wife and I were together when I worked for him so I know that that was real, the circumstances around me quitting are fuzzy. When i step back and look at it, every time I meet or come into contact that know the man I worked for bad things happen to me in life. These 12 families that rule the world are evil and do bad things and I upset one of them, I know this. But all my support people tell me that I am being delusional.

Sorry about the confusing post, I don't always explain myself well when my mind is racing.

I think that it's natural for jobs to be a great source of stress. You have to ask yourself-do your beliefs allow you to live life on your own terms.

I don't think it's necessary to determine if something is a delusion- just look at see and how it is useful to you.

Not everyone has a spouse who will stand next to them for better or worse. What has your employment situation been like since leaving that employer? What are your career goals now?

My doc's, family and friends work inside my believes as I do with my husband when he's delusional. I've had some pretty long delusions.
