Topic: Compulsive lying - support, advice etc?

You are definitely not the first person to come here to talk about this problem I want to tell a lie, but the difference is motivation and degree.

As a person raised in a religious atmosphere, my beliefs, interests, and general behavior contradict the general views advocated by my parents, so I naturally remove my difficulties and I lied to give more freedom.

Fortunately, I did not go any further. Probably because I was not under strict supervision. And when pressure ceased, I regained the normal explanation of things. I will not be surprised if this is a very common behavior not only for children with religious beliefs but also for many children.

I think in your case, regardless of whether you want it or not, it will gradually diminish and never become a way of life. Like Zi, I do not have direct knowledge about this specific behavior pattern and how to stop it, but I think it is a lot of addiction and other poisoning trying to change human recognition and emotion I think there is something in common.

In order to acknowledge that you have a big problem and want you to stop it, you think you have overcome one of the most important obstacles you've already made against yourself - and others. This is a very good start.

Also, I realize that what I am doing is high risk, losing someone you love, or at least dealing serious damage to her relationship.

The first thing I would like to say is that I am not a doctor but an ordinary person with a MH problem, but to be honest, I think that this is not something you can overcome alone. In order to remove these obsessive-compulsive disorders, I think that continuous mental or psychological treatment and long-term support are necessary. Most likely it is necessary to solve the cause and other problems

I can propose that you take this into account while you are watching the GP and you can accomplish everything. If you think that you may want to hide things, write it down and share the paper. There is no doubt that all these will take longer than standard consultation. Confirm if you can see treatment

Of course, this does not yet answer the question of how you deal with talking to your fiancées and other people, but I will only do one thing at a time.

Morbid lies (also known as phantasters and mythology) are habitual or obsessive lies. It was first described by Anton Delbrueck in the medical literature in 1891. Although this is a controversial topic, the pathological lie is defined as "forgery is completely disproportionate to distinguishable purposes, is widely and very complex, and appears for a certain period of time or even during his lifetime" It will be. The story tended tends to display liars favorably. Liars decorate "their own people" by telling stories about them as heroes or victims. For example, this person may be shown to be very brave, to know many famous people, or to be related to many celebrities, or to have strong power, status or wealth .

Obsessive liars are defined as addicts. Lying down is an ordinary and reflexive way for them to answer questions. Obsessive liars will intertwine all facts. For obsessive liars, speaking the truth is very embarrassing and uncomfortable, and it is right to lie. Generally, obsessive fraudsters (unlike antisocial people) are too skillfully manipulated and never be embarrassed, but lies are difficult to break and automatic responses that affect relationships. Treatment can be a powerful tool for forced rest. Therefore, those who are affected by forced lies are encouraged to seek help from qualified therapists. However, treatment is time consuming if you are forced to receive treatment, do not recognize the problem, or do not believe that help is necessary for treatment to be effective, so problems You have to understand that there is.

Obsessive or pathological lies usually indicate certain types of mental health or personality disorders, such as marginal or self-loving disorders. When someone is obsessively lying and can not control the lying habit, it is usually not due to their moral failure, but about the true psychological health problems they do not know about. Pathologic lies are controversial in the field of psychology, but it is agreed that this behavior is related to psychosis.
