anti-Christ

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

Your insertion of the word 'claimed' is insidious. Are you a 'claimed' Christian?

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?

I reflected back your own term. I'm cool with that.

"Reflected back [my] own term"? What are you on about? I have not called you delusional.

The use of delusional is all you and Dive. I want nothing to do with it.

There are people out there who are genuinely struggling with delusions and paranoid thought. To try and apply such terms to posters on this site (who you don't know) is a nonsense.

Suzianne has called me delusional dozens and dozens of times. I've never seen you take issue with it.

So you DO claim I am delusional or you DON'T claim I am delusional?

I don't have your back.

So, as someone who understands delusion, in your professional capacity, friends should just tell their paranoid and delusional friends that their thoughts/conditions are NOT paranoid and delusional as long as they firmly believe their thoughts are true?

My claim is that, sometimes, you are a bit thick and take things literally, missing the point being made.

But you said "To try and apply such terms to posters on this site (who you don't know) is a nonsense." So you believe her claims are nonsense?

"Thick" but not delusional?

Am I becoming delusional?

Don’t be silly, you’re being silly.

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.

No, I think you said it was air conditioning last time. And why would air con and lighting only affect your “team meetings”?

Someone wouldn’t say it’s Monday (or whatever day) and “its the dread team meeting” when what they really dreaded was the general office environment. Sorry, it doesn’t wash, I think you’re lying.

And as for your last sentence, well that’s the sort of exit phrase someone who knows their lying and knows I won’t believe them would write.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
That is exactly what you are asking.

No. I’ve given you my reasons why Suzianne is subject to delusional thinking and I’ve cited a professional website to back up my assertion.

You have said that it is your professional opinion that her “firmly believing” something which is ostensibly not true is NOT delusional thinking.

As I suggested, you really should get your money back from whatever Micky mouse mental health course it was you took.
