Gaslighting (some of it totally well-meaning)

Gaslighting (some of it totally well-meaning)

  • Apologies for venting...

I periodically have psychosis but am told I handle it well, possibly unusually well.

My next door neighbours have been hacking into my computer for 15 years (fact,At one point my mad neighbour was reading aloud the text on my kindle as I read it myself to try to make me think I was psychotic (again a fact!!!). Not something people believe easily!

Sorry had to edit this- I wrote a couple of things when I was very upset last night. I feel sometimes as though I can't get support because people won't believe the perfectly true, and sometimes insane things people will do to you. My neighbours are bananas, but there are a lot of lovely people out there too.

Hey @mirrormirror! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

That must all be pretty scary at times and must certainly be tough to grapple with. I hope that you are able to find spaces that make you feel safe and secure 💛
