My experience is don't agree with these delusions, let her talk it out.If you try to correct her she will get frustrated and it will heighten the delusion.

My mother says that she doesn't trust us, that we are trying to hurt her and we are the ones making her sick by giving her all the pills she takes. She as well thinks people have came in the house and stolled her things. I let her know that it might have been misplaced and we will look for it, then we are the ones that took it. Or what did we do with her remote for the tv. She hides things, and blames me or my daughter. This is an everyday challenge. We try to calm her down but to no prevail. We talk to her, but she ignores us.

Plz seek advice from professionals in the field before it gets to a point when decision making is difficult. I am sure there is appropriate support out there.

My mom accuses me of wanting to put her in an "institution" and threatens to have me arrested. I am her only child and she was my best friend. It hurts.

There is no talking to my mother when paranoia sets in. Listen to what she is saying. Offer to make a snack while she continues to talk. I cannot change her mind or reassure her that she has nothing to fear. Medication helps calm her; but she still believes people are coming into the house, stealing, are going to harm her or throw us out. Exhaustion ssts in; we get ready for bed. Sometimes I am in bed at 4:30pm! Cannot do this without medication, and that takes trial and error. Such is this disease.
