Persecutory-Onset Psychotic Disorder: Understanding the Fracture Between Mind and Reality
Introduction Persecutory-onset psychotic disorder represents a serious clinical condition, often sudden in its onset, in which the individual develops false and unjustified beliefs of being threatened, watched, or harmed by others. These beliefs—known as persecutory delusions—can emerge in individuals who previously showed no clear signs of psychological distress. The disorder drastically alters the person’s worldview, erodes trust in others, and makes daily functioning extremely difficult, both for the individual and for those close to them.

I didn’t realize I was shutting myself away. Not at first. It started quietly. Like most things do. A whisper rather than a scream. I stopped answering messages, one by one, until silence became my default. I stopped showing up to the things I once loved — the book club, the weekend hikes, the Friday night dinners. I told people I was tired, busy, overwhelmed. And they believed me — even when I didn’t fully believe myself.

Flawed, Fierce, and Full of Glitter: A Story of Reclamation
There’s a special kind of audacity required to reclaim your worth when the world has spent years convincing you you shouldn’t. It’s like walking into a party you weren’t invited to, grabbing the mic, and belting out a power ballad while maintaining unbroken eye contact with everyone who ever doubted you. Which, let’s be honest, is exactly the kind of energy we should all be cultivating.
