Suggest Treatment For Hallucinations And Delusions
Question: XXXXXXX didn't specifically tell me he was hearing voices telling him to kill me or my son. I wanted to make sure you knew that. But he still could be hearing "entities" to kill us though even if he didn't state that to me specifically? He gave me a rather suggestive sexual hug the same night he told me he heard those voices telling him that he was a "murderer" and it was his "job" to kill people...he didn't say XXXXXXX or me specifically however.
Brief Answer:
Yes even he didnt mention specifically still this could be the reason
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
You have mentioned about this thing in our previous conversations. Still even if he didn't say clearly even then we can say with certainty that he had delusions. The problems he mentioned that entities are saying that he is a murderer can make basis that he distanced himself from you. He has probably distanced himself because of this reason only.
Try not to over think and over analyse because this would make you more and kore distressed only.
Thanks.

Okay. So delusions and hallucinations can be the same thing then? I read somewhere that they go together..is that true?
I am still suffering from this so much. I have been seriously traumatized by having my emails to him boldly brought out against me. They were personal and I am a very private person so I feel traumatized. The PTSD and DID is so activated by all of this trauma. Unlike XXXXXXX I didn't develop schizophrenia but rather DID and PTSD. I feel like I did something really bad by sending those emails telling me that I was suicidal and that something very bad will happen to me legally as a result..In the appeal I am filing the good judge will be there but I will be traumatized by having my feelings subject to such a public venue..I am not quite sure how to get past this trauma. In one email I told him that I had taken a whole bottle of valium last summer and asked why he never responded, In another I said he was a jerk and asked him what the hell his problem was, in another I pleaded with him to please respond and then again in another the same plea to no avail..I hope that the judge doesn't see this as harassment but the other judge did so I am afraid..he gave me no response so I had no way of knowing if he even received them..I don't know why I am so afraid...

Brief Answer:
Hallucinations and delusions can occur together.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
No, they are not the same things if we consider them with psycho-pathology. Yes, they can go together, individual may have delusion and at the same time may develop hallucination.
DID and PTSD both are very serious problems and cause significant distress to individual. Try to forget the trauma you suffered at courtroom. That incident of his showing XXXXXXX in courtroom was because he was under psychosis and he wanted to keep himself away from you. This could be because of those hallucinatory voices most probably. Don't think about this thing again and again. Try to move past from that and if possible appeal in court once again, which is your main goal at present.
Take care of your health and keep yourself calm.
Thanks

Thanks Dr B. XXXXXXX has them too I think but the schizophrenia is the main thing. I am so scared to go into the courtroom together. I was abused for being "emotional" as a child and cannot seem to stop thinking about the things I said to him in the emails. My attempts to contact him were done out of love and concern.I do hope that this judge is more understanding during the appeal..I am scared of it though and ashamed that I said those things to him in an email.I was beaten for being emotional which does not help me any. Last time the good judge just ignored those emails I sent XXXXXXX ..I am fearful that he will respond to me like the bad judge did and that I will just not get what I want which is the injunction to be lifted.Harassement legally is done with INTENT to harm or threaten which I did NOT do..I only wanted a response from him and never intended any harm..
Brief Answer:
Your intentions were not wrong in sending the XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Yes your intentions to mail him were not bad and you mailed him because you were missing him and you love him. But you have to make that Judge is aware about this thing. If the judge accepts that thing then Judge will make decision on your side only. Schizophrenia is a disorder that is characterised by hallucinations and delusions. So proper history and presence of delusions and hallucinations make diagnosis of Schizophrenia.
Don't worry about judge, you have mentioned that he has knowledge about mental illnesses, and he should listen to your side also. Just request the judge to give decision to get XXXXXXX examined by a psychiatrist.
Thanks

Thanks Dr B. I am just so scared and traumatized. My abusers were police doctors, judges, government people and my mother...so it is hard sometimes to separate the emotional flashbacks from the present stuff. I was so young when this high level of satanic ritualistic abuse occurred under the age of one that it is hard to not just split and run...I still have a lot of trauma parts and of course they split when they feel threatened, The biblical guided visualization helped a lot but we weren't completely finished when I stopped that kind of counseling..so all of this just causes me more trauma..I did do some writing on my appellant memorandum which was good cognitive behavioral therapy for me earlier so that helped somewhat. Sleep is tough for me as I was always abused and accessed at night so can become hyper alert...thanks for hanging in there with me..the Order of Protection thing will be hard as I have to make the judge believe that XXXXXXX really did say those things about entities and show him that XXXXXXX is delusional also..he already has quite a good picture and the therapist we saw together is a personal friend of the judge's. I am hoping maybe my landlord might also come with us to be an emotional support for us...he saw XXXXXXX with me and knows that we were romantically involved. It is very hard as I feel like jumping out of my skin at times plus missing XXXXXXX The sheriff delivered the papers today to XXXXXXX so its anybody's guess how he will respond...I just hope he doesn't retain and high powered lawyer or show up with a huge following of five or more people like the last time. Markham never let him say much the first time but we shall see..I am hoping to be able to sleep now...good night to you...
Brief Answer:
Don't over think and over analyse, try to forget the past
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Try to forget that bad past and try to pass that feelings of flashbacks and restlessness due to trauma. Just concentrate on one thing that you have to give strong explanation to that Judge. Try to explain him/her about Michael's illness. Just don't overthink and over analyse.
Thanks, try to sleep. Good night and take care.

Dear Dr B,
I almost hate to close this session out right now but I am trying to come to grips with the fact that XXXXXXX did not mean to hurt me. It is so hard...I did do some more writing on the Appellant Memorandum and hope that the judge sees my side. He did seem alarmed by the statements that XXXXXXX made about him hearing ENTITIES telling him he was a killer and that it was his JOB to kill people..I am trying to move forward and hope that the Order of Protection Hearing goes well...I am concerned that if it is dropped and XXXXXXX does not get an evaluation of mandatory commitment that he could hurt me. But have been talking to some friends about moving to Israel...it is good toknow that this friend of mine has some friends in Israel who may be willing to help me in my journey there to become connected. I am trying to also come to grips with the sadness and loneliness I feel for Michael's absence. Do you think he misses me at all? He didn't seem too happy with the fact that he won the injunction. With him it always was when he saw me that he recognized the most his love for me...will he forget that he loves me or will a part of him wonder where I am if I am gone..I feel so sad about it but not devastated anymore..the lack of chaos and more peaceful life I have now is better than the turmoil of the last year. if you have any suggestions as to how I can move through this grief process more I would appreciate it...thanks.

Brief Answer:
Try to divert your attention in doing constructive work
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Please don’t feel bad for not closing discussion. You can continue to ask and clear your doubts. Though he didn’t mention that entities are asking him to kill you specifically but he had mentioned to you that entities are telling him that he is a murderer and he might kill some one. If Judge accepts that thing, even then he would order a Psychiatrist to examine him. Try to explain to the Judge about his nature of illness.
If XXXXXXX misses you or not, that cant be commented at this point because he lacks insight of his actions and I haven’t seen him personally so I cant comment with certainty. He is under influence of delusions so he lacks complete insight.
Try to achieve your goal to move Israel. This would make you better in both physical health and mental health. Don’t feel bad about yourself. Though presently the time is bad but it should pass in some days. Don’t over think and don’t analyse one thing again and again. Try to pass your time by doing the work you find interesting. First of all try to get prescription of the Marijuana and if that would alleviate the pain then you will feel better. Listening good music, learning Hebrew, attending community meetings all would make you feel happy and good.
Thanks, hope this helps you. Try to follow my advise.

It is hard. Do you think he still cares about me or not or can't you say? Is missing me the same as loving me or are they different? Would he even know that I am gone when I leave or won't he? Or does all this follow under the same thing as lack of insight...? I wish I knew if he still loved me or not...it is so confusing...in some way he must love me still or he wouldn't be so afraid of hurting me or is that not right at all...? It is so confusing and hurtful...he loved me so very much. It seemed as though when he saw me again he remembered how he felt about me in the first place, calling me pretty etc..but now there is not to be any contact with me in any way whatsoever, not emails, not telephone calls not letters not through people we know, nothing...so do you think he will forget me then once I am gone? Will it be like he never even knew me at all?
Brief Answer:
He lacks insight so I cant comment if he misses you
Detailed Answer:
Hello again, I apologise for being late because of a little busy day
I cant comment with certainty if he miss you or not, but based upon our old conversations we concluded that he distanced himself from you because he had fear that he might kill you. This fear can make basis that he care about you, but his behaviour in court was really different.
If possible tell your daughter (if she agrees) to meet him once your plan to move Israel get finalised. He would not forget you, this is sure because in Schizophrenia cognitive decline usually not occur.
Try to accomplish your goals to move Israel and don't think bad at present.
Thanks
