to people in psychosis, their experiences feel real. There is no bug, but when you CHECK for it, you make them feel SAFE.

I got morgellons, docs thought I was psychotic. ER refused to look in my ear. 6months later a ear specialist looks. "pearls and glitter" she said. Vacuumed it and got a sore. "eczema". nope it's morgs

always rule out the physical, even if you’re 99.9% sure nothing is there

Two things can be true at the same time: they can be in psychosis, and there can be something in their ear. Plus what does it hurt to put them at ease if possible.

Does it ever happen that the psychosis based complaint is also some communication for a real problem? Like I feel like bugs in the ear could turn out to be an ear infection?

I cleaned for a lady with dementia who thought she had mice. I looked really hard and found no signs. it made her feel better. over and over I looked and found nothing, each time she felt better.

If another provider found something in their ear after you told them you wouldn’t check, they’d lose trust in psych.

I had a professor say that hypochondriacs die of something. We have to rule out causes of symptoms. You have to investigate.

When I was in the grippy sock place, there was a woman who thought she was seeing a bug fly around the room. Turns out she has a blind spot in her eye and that’s what she was seeing.

My doctor compassionately took a thorough look and rubbed her skin on my skin, and it helped me start to breakdown my delusions

omg I actually had a bug in my ear once and the nurse thought I was in psychosis. nurse rolled her eyes as the doctor looked. I'm still annoyed about the interaction years later

I’m a hypochondriac because no one believed my abdomen pain and turned out I had a 15lb cyst. Now I’m hyper aware and paranoid of any irregularity until someone takes it serious enough to test

Thank you for the empathy and kindness you show these people where the vast majority of society/the medical world probably wouldn’t 🥺🥹

If I had a delusion like that I feel like having somebody take me seriously and check it out would be really reassuring
