i am dealing with some very heavy things that have me questioning myself. i beleive a certain situation to be true and im being told that it isnt true. which isnt surpriseing seeing as how if it was true people would be getting in trouble for it. Does anyone else suffer from what i am being told are delusions?

Welcome.


Depending on what, yes it's possible that others would rather you not remember. I lived through a few of those things that people tried to convince me otherwise to cover their arse.

Not really but I often have to ask myself the difference between possibility and probability when making assumptions about other people. I do hope you find your truth and it helps.

Yes, it's called "gaslighting," after the movie about it.
Gaslighting is pretty common among perps who hope to get away with abuse, completelylostandconfused

"Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief."

wow and that it exactly what I feel is happening here although this has happened to me in the past the same exact way and he would know this. I also have been down every alley to prove guilt and besides a few small things that I see I have come up empty. lets just say I went as far as a lie detector test

It could be gaslighting or it could be delusions.... Can you give an example of what the situation is?

I have had hallucinations many years ago... These can be true occurrences at times..... Big hug
