Example:
A couple of people at my work said things about me within earshot, and I wrote them down. When I contronted them about it, they denied having said it, and said I was "broadcasting" and/or "hearing things."
Whenever I tried to rebuttal the statement with what I heard and wrote down, my mother said that I "thought [I] heard something and wrote down maybe what [I] thought [I] heard."
This is extremely insulting to me because I was within 3-4 feet of the person and it was a quiet room and they spoke very clearly and were not whispering. It was normal conversation in tone and volume.
Now my mother wants me to try Abilify for my "delusions" and "voices." This is again insulting to me because she knows I have a past history of paranoid schizotypia (which is false because I only respond to what I heard or see, not what I internally believe...e.g. I only form a hypothesis or belief based on external stimuli).
Thoughts? How do I respond to her retort?
