What Causes Inability To Distinguish Between Fantasy And Reality?
I am due to renew on Today.I was on this blog and the guy does not understand that Michael's and my friendship is not OVER but derailed due to his mental illness as I was afraid of him and what he might do to me and XXXXXXX I spoke with a lawyer who said that the court might just file a permanent injunction( a lifetime one) against me so that I am never allowed to contact him again.She was under the impression that he had contacted me or approached me when I didn't want him to. I had hoped to get the injunction vacated on a technicality but need your advice as to how to proceed. I don't want a lifetime away from him so am afraid now of going to court. ...no one in the legal arena thus far has seemed to understand that XXXXXXX is unpredictable and is essentially unable to tell the real from the unreal...it is a night mare....I think I might have asked you this already but do you think he might be mentally incompetent? Only a psychiatrist examining him could tell this of course...I am on the verge of dismissing the appeal as I don't want a judgment for a permanent injunction against me to be entered so that I am never allowed to communicate with him ever again. I will tell the judge that there is no need to have any injunction as I am going to be moving to a foreign country in September.
Believe in yourself and GOD.

Hello again
In psychosis as we discussed earlier also individuals fail to distinguish between fantasy with reality. They loose the touch with reality. For example in an individual with paranoid delusions he start believing that a particular person is conspiring against him while in reality this is not true. They loose the touch with real life. If we consider the delusion then delusion is false unshakable belief that is held firmly in mind despite evidence to contrary.
If we consider the legal issues then in most states it is accepted that in psychosis an individual cant held responsible for his actions. He might disregard a close person also. He developed delusional beliefs that he might kill you or XXXXXXX and this compelled him to distance himself from you abruptly.
On basis of our old conversations I can say that he is suffering from psychosis but is not mentally incompetent. He distanced himself from you because he developed beliefs that he might harm you. This doesn't show that he don't care about you, though as I haven't seen him so exact nature of his mind can't be predicted.
Don't be stressed that judge will order for permanent injunction. Just try to make your case strong. Believe in yourself and GOD. Please take care of yourself. Hope for the best.
Thanks.
Try hard for Michael's evaluation.

Please don't be stressed, just remember one thing, you are right on your side and you have to prove this in court. They should surely listen to your point. Try to collect any information of past that can become relevant in court regarding XXXXXXX
Try hard for the injunction to be dropped and for Michael's evaluation.
Thanks.
Make your presentation strong.

Hello again
On the basis of law the injunction should be dropped. But for the evaluation of XXXXXXX write down strong points against him and try to prove the points in court. Make your presentation strong in court. Just try to prove that why would you harass him. You called him 2-3 times because he suddenly changed his thoughts, and this can be considered as normal stress response.
Thanks.
Anyway the hard part is trying tomake a legal case as I am NOT licensed to practice psychiatry in Arizona..YOU could though....so I am not sure how to word anything and really stressed now as it looks like I might have broken my computer...It is hard waiting to talk to a lawyer....
The messages were not delivered.

Hello again
Most likely he hadn't received the XXXXXXX because those XXXXXXX were not delivered so no need to worry about that. Just remain relaxed and try to get ready for question if they ask from you in court. Keep on thing in mind that you are right on your side.
Don't be angry on yourself. Discuss all these with your lawyer too.
Thanks.
Try hard and remain strong.

Hello again
That was most likely the confusion due to mail delivery still don't be worried about all these things. Try to stick on the point that he didn't send you notice before the injunction. This will make a good point. Apart from this discuss with lawyer and try to prove that XXXXXXX doesn't have sane mind.
Thanks.
Try to relax yourself.
