Eyyy, what a blast from the past, lol. Going full schizo to combat loneliness, a popular concept on a certain Mongolian basket weaving forum back in 2010-15. 😅
I’m split on which is worse tbh.
The Tulpa thing takes more effort than just talking to an AI, but on the other hand, it has to be much harder to snap back to reality when the voices are literally in your head…
Delusional disorder is a thing but that requires belief flying in the face of evidence. Can’t ascertain that without a good faith 1:1 convo.
beyond that, clinical significance is a matter of what harm comes from it. People are allowed to choose idiotic things. we gotta assess harm based on outcomes and we don’t know anything about her, so.
Id say this, if i were her doc and she came in reporting that stuff, it’d be hard to stay unbiased
This seems like mental illness
