| 0:00.0 | Hey dessert listeners, I thought I would answer patron emails, this first emails from an anonymous |
| 0:04.8 | patron, she says, I found out that my friend is experiencing erotomania. How can I help her |
| 0:11.0 | for this condition? So just to be in here, erotomania is defined as a delusion that someone else |
| 0:17.2 | is in love with you when they're not really in love with you. So just going on here, I found out |
| 0:21.2 | that my friend is experiencing erotomania and I'm wondering how to help her with this condition. |
| 0:25.9 | From what I've seen, it's pretty rare. My friend is currently experiencing some delusions about |
| 0:31.0 | a guy she has a crush on. She thinks that he is in love with her, but he has just filed a |
| 0:36.2 | restraining order against her. She keeps emailing his business email they used to work together |
| 0:40.8 | and showing up at his office. This is becoming very serious. Last time I saw her a few months ago, |
| 0:45.6 | she told me he was going to propose and that he had messaged all her friends to plan something. |

| 1:02.0 | I just talked to my friend today and she now believes that he has cameras in her house |
| 1:06.6 | and he records her conversations. The sister-in-law told me that anyone who tries to tell her that he's |
| 1:11.1 | not planning to propose to her, she will stop talking to them. I don't think she should continue |
| 1:15.8 | chasing this guy and probably she should seek some professional help. She doesn't think therapy |
| 1:20.4 | will help so she keeps praying about it. She asked me to provide a character reference for court. |
| 1:25.0 | I don't know what to do. How would you approach this situation? Your wisdom and empathy are |
| 1:29.2 | greatly appreciated and a female. Yeah, this is a tough situation. I've actually been in this |
| 1:33.6 | situation both professionally and personally. There's no good answer. You either alienate your friend |
| 1:40.0 | by not providing a character witness or you will confront your friend and say, hey, you have a |
| 1:46.1 | problem. You need to seek help. Then according to the sister-in-law, your friend will cut themselves |
