Why not tell your pyschiatrist that you'd like to discuss the details of why you feel that way? I gather you are looking for someone who will believe you, and without evidence, nobody is likely to believe you, leading you on a deeper and deeper quest for something that passes as real evidence. That sounds super tough. Take care, good luck

(unstructured dump) I have, and his assessment is that it's basically stress driving something similar to paranoia. Talking about it with friends and posting on places like HN helps, though. It's kind of a long story why I'm doing a lot of this. After a project I'm (still) working on to analyze parking tickets in Chicago [0], I managed to get invited to Bob Fioretti's [1] office to show them what I found. They really, really liked what I had to show. When I brought up proof of [2] from a FOIA request that they could have used in their campaign, they told me to never mention it again and never contacted me back. It was very odd and gave me a very negative vibe. To make matters worse, they began using parking tickets as a large part of their campaign - without me. A friend suggested that maybe Rahm was involved with Fioretti, which led to an initial request for the mayor's phone records was submitted. The weekend before the election, Fioretti dropped out and gave his support to Rahm, so the negative vibes were possibly accurate. The initial reason for the request isn't as important to me anymore, though. These days, the strong lack of privacy reciprocation and negative comments such as, "You're naive to think you can do this.", "Stop stalking the mayor." (my family), "You're crazy", "Nothing will come out of this", etc drives me to continue. It's incredibly frustrating, but when I finally got the phone records, a huge weight was lifted, as it showed that those negative comments were largely unjustified. That said, a lot of people do believe me and do want to help me out. I expect to have a story published in the next month or so thanks to those people. Thanks for the support. :) [0] proof of concept: https://plot.ly/~red-bin/6.embed https://plot.ly/~red-bin/6.embed [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fioretti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fioretti [2] https://thamovement1.blogspot.com/2015/02/is-willie-wilson-financing-dock-walls.html https://thamovement1.blogspot.com/2015/02/is-willie-wilson-f...
