Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person,

She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid"

No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well.

What is your advice?

Is the maid put the spell on her family?

Is she just thinking too much?

    Projection plus delusion = attitude of depression.

    It could be due to stroke that her movement is limited, so the maid took care all the things most of the time and maybe the family become more rely on the maid, instead of her anymore.

    Therefore, a feeling of jealousy developed? Could be... haha.

    Stress due to stroke + Stress due to lack of affiliation + many other negative thinkings = mentally break down.

    For depression case, counseling alone is not really that helping as the patient is thinking illogically. This is the symptoms of depressed person. So, it is advisable to seek psychiatrist help. It is more proper for psychologist to do their job after they have been calmed down by the medicine.

    If there is voices heard by her...it could be schizophrenia case.. haha

    haha. saja :P

    first of all, this person already consider as sick. The words that come out from her mouth could be her own delusional ideas. So, it is better to ask her family whether they identify any changes in her or not. It could be just her own assumption or overgeneralization :)

    no, i have never seen it with my own eyes so i dont believe it :P haha

    For me, i think it is more towards self-fulfilling prophecy :)

    Anyways, its my opinion. haha. Believing in something can release stress also, so why not :P Although it will be seen as "avoidance" xD

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
