My friend has lately been playing mind games with me for a while now, deliberately with the intention of of making me paranoid by mis-use of trust & confidentallity i thought we had , even recruiting a few friends we have made locally into his somewhat obvious plans.The thing is he denies this by using a past mental health problem i had as his get out of jail free card & his licsence to carry on doin it. Ive tried to talk about it but smirks & insists im paranoid, no reasurance! .We both know he & his recruits are doing it but he can never admit it as its cruell and mentally abusive considering my mental health 3/4 yrs ago & isnt what any good person or "good friend" would ever do. blatantly it is bullying and very unfriendly for them to pursue leading me to ask why are they my friends if they are trying to cause me to lose my mind?
How do i resolve this before i inevetibly lose control and hurt someone?

Just dump him and move on. He isnt a friend, hes messing with your head for his own amusement. A real friend wouldnt use past problems as a weapon against you. Tell him your dumping him and tell him why. Tell him when he grows up and you can trust him you may consider being friends with him again.

Sit down and think, are things definately as you think. If so they are not worth having as friends and I would lose them.
If you are not sure then go to someone who's opinion you trust and speak to them to see what they think.
I have suffered a little paranoia caused by a medication and though deep down I knew something was not quite right in what I was thinking it didnt stop me thinking the wrong things. I could always think of a reason or a way to make the wrong thoughts feasable.
The last statement you make is not necessary if you feel this strongly then stop being friends no one has to be hurt.
All the best

Watch the movie, "Gaslight." It's what you're talking about.
If you were schizophrenic in the past, you might be paranoid now and unable to judge the situation, particularly if you're off your meds. Otherwise, if you know he's not being a friend, and is untrustworthy, you have no reason to stick around. Just walk away. He sounds like he has his own issues.

A true friend would not play mind games with you. Especially if they knew about a past mental issue you had. I would suggest you distance yourself from these people if you know that they are doing this to you on purpose. If you continue to let them play games with you, it could have a negative effect on your present mental state and possibly cause you more problems.

Are you sure you aren't just being paranoid? Talk with your parents or a professional to see what they say. Do an intervention, maybe? You really aren't giving enough information about the situation for an acurate assesment.

needless to say he's racist. you basically would desire to look at who he acquaintances with to work out that. For the checklist , i do no longer think of that Father Pfleger became searching for his quarter-hour of repute, and Obama does be attentive to this guy. Obama supporters would desire to study their information. Pfleger's help of Obama is unquestionably user-friendly in Chicago. while Obama became a state Senator in 2000, he secured a $100k earmark for the ARK community midsection--a center linked to Pfleger's church. Pfleger became additionally a member of the Catholics for Obama Committee, until he stepped down some weeks in the past--the committee is a voluntary advisory committee to the Obama marketing campaign. end making excuses for him and carry him to blame!

Walk away.
People can play mind games to deter someone instead of having the guts to say they want to end the friendship.
End it before it really hurts you - not worth the grief.

walk away from them - they do not sound like friends at all. times change and people move on - it seems like its time for you to move on. people can be very cruel sometimes don't allow this to happen to you. find alternative activities where you can meet new friends who do not know your history and will judge you for who you are rather than what you were.

Stop being friends with them! Seriously, find someone else because these people don't sound like friends at all.
