I think it's probably more the case of you 'not' working in mental health that has you throwing around such terms as 'delusion.'

It’s right there in the link I provided.

If you are in denial of what “delusional thinking” is, then it’s not surprising that you dread your team meetings, as you’ve said you do.

I mentioned it once in this thread and knew he'd pounce on it.

“Pounced”?

Don’t you mean replied to what you wrote?

Edit; you’re beginning to sound a bit like Suzianne with these superlatives.

Having touted your supposed expertise like this, is it then immediately off limits to refer back to it?

Yes, that was the single innocuous reference.

And it is true, working in mental health, that I am not quick to throw around terms like delusional (or schizophrenic etc).

Who’s mentioned “schizophrenic” ?

You have suggested that I am deluded for thinking the story of uncountable lives saved is delusional. Is this 'diagnosis', so to speak, "verified" by your "work in mental health"?

There you go, that was a good example. (Let's forget the part where my dislike of the office was down to environmental factors out of my control). Instead, let's take my comment out of context for your own ends.

Am I becoming delusional?

It was an example of a word I don't throw around in a context outside of mental health. (Like delusional).

Haha thought you chomp.

Btw way I also don’t believe your office environment was the cause of your “dreaded team meeting”.

it was a play on words you numpty.

No one is asking you to “throw around” the word delusional.

What you are being asked is why you, a claimed mental health practitioner, cannot recognise delusional thinking when it’s in front of you.

But you've just said you are "not quick to throw around terms like delusional". And here you are using it as banter? What other mental health-related terms are fair game for banter according to you?

It was a good example of your twisting what people say.

I have a heat intolerance (and an aversion to fluorescent lights). Both these things I have discussed openly here. I have always struggled in an office environment, even when colleagues try to accommodate. I can't expect people to sit in the cold or in bad light etc. Whether you believe that or not is quite meaningless.

That is exactly what you are asking.
