My mum thinks people are after her and also believes she is in the Secret Service when manic.
You can be a mile away from her but if you happen to look at her at any point during your conversation then she thinks that you are talking about her and she will tell me what you were saying about her even though she can't even hear a word that you said. This is some bizarre paranoia.
also if i have more then one or two people over the house she will sometimes feel like we are somehow making fun/taking advantage of her. she'll keep asking me if i think this is a flop house, or i'm showing off how much i can get away with in her house. There would be no drugs, and no acting out during these times. It just seems like if we're joking and having a lot of fun it triggers this somehow?
Very oftain she will get very nervous that everyone in her life is simply using her. Her husband, married her for the health ins. I want her money...etc. [i do not take her money b/c of this...aside from cosigning loans that i am paying her back]
i hope that is helpful to you somehow. what hallucinations have you encountered, if any?
what ones have you seen in your daughter, if any.
have you talked with her doctors about this? does she?
They believe her now but are still not sure what is going on.

This is from the SI community, a girls mother made a post regarding the voices her daughter's been hearing. My heart goes out to you two. Such caring mums! I'm hoping it will help you some how, or even just talking to each other? I know the situations a bit different though...
I am actually already friends with lovebirds and yes, our daughters are very similar in their symptoms. It has been very helpful to me to be able to discuss these things with someone else who is experiencing them. I love this site but sometimes find it a little hard to relate to some of the posts as they are coming from the point of view of adult/adult relationships.
Not sure if that even makes sense but . . .
