        Okay, now I’m definitely recommending therapy. Not because I’m making any judgement about you, but because that sounds like a lot to deal with. Please, take care of yourself…

            I had a read of this and I now sincerely apologize. I don’t think you’re trolling. I think you’re struggling with something that would best be addressed in a quiet setting with a professional. I’m not trying to rile you up. I’ve personally gained a lot of QOL upgrades from talking to a psychologist in the past.

            These thoughts might have a basis in reality, but the way your brain is dealing with and amplifying them is not normal or healthy.

            Umm. If you are having this type of issue for reals, I would talk to the instance admins and mods. I know it is just whack-a-mole on trying to get away from determined bad actors, but using a VPN, making a new username you have never used anywhere, and sanity checking all of your security is a start. Scorch earth your machines and phone if you have to. Wipe them all and start over. If it will make you feel better, take a look at Opnsense or Pfsense and setup a firewall. There are other hardware firewall solutions out there too.

        My father had schizophrenia and said many of the same type of things you’re saying here. Until he was medicated, he also saw these grand conspiracies to harass and threaten him. Once he received treatment, he learned to discern what was and was not real.

        I urge you to seek help. Do what he did: set up two evaluations with psychiatrists and get the results. Then, without telling anyone if your intentions, pick a random date and time, drive way out of town, and check yourself into an ER or mental health facility for an emergency psych eval. See if the results match. All three of his did and he realized there was no way this grand conspiracy by shadow actors could have orchestrated it.

            Yeah, he also responded by deflecting when people tried to offer help or pointed out that his stories didn’t make sense. I’m sure it’s exhausting to always defend an ever-growing, increasingly implausible narrative.

            I honestly hope you can find peace, regardless of the source of your trouble.

            Go to a different state and do it. You don’t sound well. Cops lie and plant evidence yes, but cops aren’t out there specifically targeting the Lemmy accounts of their exes to say to get therapy to deal with probable trauma.

            This sounds like a clinical paranoia. I’m not a mental health professional though, I can’t clear you.

                Yeah I probably will. It sounds like a traumatic experience. I’m not discounting the fact that if what you say is accurate it’s probably serious psychological trauma. What I’m saying is that no matter which is true you could probably use professional help.

                Or don’t I’m a stranger. But I’m a stranger who knows there’s no shame in needing help. And you can always seek a professional who will let you bring a trusted friend along

        Always be skeptical. This sounds interesting though. Why you think they’re harassing you? Also you could try to setup your “father” and see if he actually has dementia. Maybe install some hidden cameras. Dunno how you manage to restrain yourself from hitting him
