- They can predict things (who's coming to visit and what they are gonna say). In my case they predicted that that bus was going to break down. They claimed for example that this was a plot by the killers to isolate & murder me.

- They know your emotional insecurities in & out. So they know exactly how to hit you where it hurts.

- They make you doubt alot.

I really don't know. I wasn't told.

But from Googling about the medication (Risperidone).

It looks like I had bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Yes. I am 100% off meds. It has been about 1½ years now.

I don't hear a single "voice in my head".

Those voices are very different from "thinking" or "talking to yourself".

I am glad I haven't heard them in a long time.

- It started with long periods of insomnia and without any voices.

- I received strange phone calls from languages I didn't understand (it was a Belgian number)

- The voices started telling me that my phone was hacked using NSOs Pegasus by a well connected criminal gang.

- they picked stuff that was real. My spam caller, knowledge of spyware corporations.

- they then used that to build stories and paranoia to the point of delusion.

- at the peak of my delusion. They mimicked voices of people I trusted (mum, friends etc).

- they even claimed that NSO was so advanced that they would summon the cenobites (from Hell Raiser) to come & touture me.

I don't know if it was the medication. But at some point the voices stopped making sense.

For example if my care takers wanted to poison me. Why am I still alive? They have fed me for months?

These people trying to kill me. Why haven't they made their move.

I had actually given up on trying to evade my "enemies" and simply waited for them to kill me. But for months they never made thier move. This made me realise that I was delusional.

I wouldn't believe anything in this article.

But early 2022. I started hearing voices too. They all said horrible stuff.

They claimed that people close to me (family & friends) were planning to kill me & steal my crypto.

They also gave me "evidence" that proved my friend was a professional hitman.

Looking at extremely thin, starving Ethiopians on TV they said "Look! You going to look like that, we shall make sure of it, probably worse"

A bus getting a flat tire and people pulling out tools for changing tires was interpreted by the voices as "murder weapons for bludgeoning me to death"

Fortunately, I got in touch with a psychiatrist and he gave me a combination of pills & injections.

It took about 2 years for the voices to completely disappear.

This set me back so badly financially.

Luckily I now feel very normal and confident that I was 100% delusional. I am healthy now & slowly trying to get my life back together. (been off medication for like 1½ years now)

But here is my piece of advice (as a former victim).

If someone is "hearing voices".

Don't try to call them delusional or "bring them back to reality".

What you should do is listen to them & try to provide protection.

- if they feel like they are going to be poisoned by the waiter, cook for them

- if they feel like they are being stalked, offer protection etc

Normal people my claim that this "feeds" into their delusions. But at least it works in the short term to reduce the paranoia.

There is nothing worse than thinking your wife is going to stab you in your sleep and her trying to be around you longer that she usually does. She should send you pictures/video calls of her in another continent.

So as a previous victim here is a recommended approach.

- in the short term (show empathy)

- in the long term seek psychiatric assistance
