Did I have a psychotic break?

Question

I have been in a CRAZY stressful state of life for the last 4 or so months- parents divorce, budget cuts that may or may not cost me my job, my crazy ex-husband wanting to see my girls, to name a few things. Just a couple of minutes ago I got a text message from a man who says he and I had/have a relationship going on. I know he and I work at the same place & we have been polite to ea.other before but that's all. I mean I'm happily married with three children and he is insisting we went out and did all sorts of things I simply do NOT remember...he is scaring me, but worse, i am scared that there is something wrong with me. Am I crazy? Could I be going crazy?

Answer 1

Ask him specifics... like when and where you went out and do some research.  Are there any other texts.. do you have his phone number?  Look for things like that and see if you can account for your whereabouts when he said you were out.  I suppose that you could have some sort of dissociative disorder, where you don't remember things you've done, but it's much more likely that he is crazy.. or simply had the wrong number when he texted.

Answer 2

change your number - you are not crazy - he is

Answer 3

I would suspect that he is trying to drive you crazy.  People often try to make people think something happened that never happened and it is called bullying.  People often pretend there is a punch line to a joke when there is none and they will laugh and leave you out of the laughter as a joke on you.  

Assume you are fine and that there is something he wants and is gaming you.  I suspect that is more likely the case.  What you see is what you see and what you hear is what you hear and what you remember is what you remember.  Be firm in that and don't let anyone lead you to believe you are losing it when they have a vested interest in your losing your sense of reality.  

I suspect this guy wants something from you and is playing you like a violin.  Admit you don't remember and then stick to your story.  If he implies that you are crazy, then reply, "Why would you want to date a crazy person for?  I suggest you find someone you think is more stable if you want a serious relationship."
