A delusion is a belief that is clearly false and that indicates an abnormality in the affected person's content of thought. The false belief is not accounted for by the person's cultural or religious background or his or her level of intelligence. The key feature of a delusion is the degree to which the person is convinced that the belief is true. A person with a delusion will hold firmly to the belief regardless of evidence to the contrary. Delusions can be difficult to distinguish from overvalued ideas, which are unreasonable ideas that a person holds, but the affected person has at least some level of doubt as to its truthfulness. A person with a delusion is absolutely convinced that the delusion is real.
A non-bizarre delusion is one whose content is definitely mistaken, but is at least possible; an example may be that the affected person mistakenly believes that he or she is under constant police surveillance.
But for all you know your delusions are true and its happening now....

ACT 1 SCENE 2
Events can cause a person’s life to change dramatically and sometimes permanently small developments can change one’s course of actions during a day. A fight with a friend can ruin vacation plans, while the change could be as serious as the loss of a parent. A permanent change such as this could alter your perception of life itself. In Shakespear’s Hamlet, the main character suffers the devastating loss of his father and he seems to change, alter, and ultimately fall into a deep depression. Seems is the operative word in that sentence. In actuality, Hamlet’s character does not alter one bit throughout the course of the play. Possibly, his character is amplified by the events that unfold as Hamlet plots to revenge his father’s wrongful death. How outgoing Hamlet is concerning his revenge is, at times, questionable, but his intentions alongside his character remain true.
Growing up as the Prince of Denmark, young Hamlet is a well mannered, highly educated young man on the path to becoming king. His character before his father’s death must be assumed because we do not see him prior to the tragedy. Right offhand, we see that Hamlet is intelligent through his eloquent speech and candor. Although sad and slightly depression.
The way Hamlet speaks reveals his level of intelligence. For example, when he is conversing with his mother and Claudius he states “So excellent a king, that was to this, Hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother, That he might not between the winds of heaven.”(Act 1, Scene 2, lines 139-141) Hamlet is also very sensitive and emotional. He feels his father’s death very deeply and his hurt is only amplified by the quick remarriage of his mother to his uncle. Bitterness is evident in regards to his mother’s haste wedding when he states, “The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.”(Act 1, Scene 2, 180-181) When Horatio tells Hamlet about the ghost of his father, and Hamlet learns the truth of his father’s wrongful death, he immediately becomes vengeful: “O villain, villain, smiling damned villain! My tables-meet it is, I set it down that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. At least I am sure it may be so in Denmark. So uncle, there you are, now to my word, “Adieu, adieu, remember me” I have sworn’t.” (Act 1, Scene 5, lines 106-112) Hamlet makes it obvious from the discovery of treachery that he has intentions of revenging his father’s death. He does not block himself into a time frame, he simply states that the deed will be done and his uncle will suffer.
Some critics of Hamlet would argue that he does not have the heart or guts to kill. Hamlet’s actions regarding Polonius totally and completely rebut this argument. Hamlet’s murder of Polonius is accidental because he thinks that it is Claudius, spying on the convent

Revenge is sweet
“Last night I had a revelation
Somehow I have to make you pay
It's all about manipulation
And what it takes to get my way
I don't believe in soft solutions
No one makes a fool of me
Without receiving retribution
No one hurts me and goes free
I'll play on your fears, I'll leave you in tears
You'll never be the same, my friend
You're walking a line, it's a matter of time
You'll never rest easy again
I've got the power to bring you down
I've heard it said, to err is human
It's forgiveness that's divine
I thought about forgiving you, but
I want revenge, I want what's mine
I think it's time to settle scores now
It's time to set the record straight
You'll know it's coming, you won't know how
Or when, you'll have to watch and wait
I'll play on your fears, I'll leave you in tears
You'll never be the same, my friend
You're walking a line, it's a matter of time
You'll never rest easy again
I've got the power to bring you down
You know, it feels intoxicating
To be intimidating
It's invigorating
To see you shaking
I've got the power to bring you down
You know something, you see it coming,
You know I will stop at nothing.”

Borderline personality
A person with a borderline personality disorder often experiences a repetitive pattern of disorganization and instability in self-image, mood, behavior and close personal relationships. This can cause significant distress or impairment in friendships and work.They sometimes can maintain this appearance for a number of years until their defense structure crumbles, usually around a stressful situation like the breakup of a romantic relationship.
Relationships with others are intense but stormy and unstable with marked shifts of feelings and difficulties in maintaining intimate, close connections. The person may manipulate others and often has difficulty with trusting others. There is also emotional instability with marked and frequent shifts to an empty lonely depression or to irritability and anxiety. There may be unpredictable and impulsive behavior which might include excessive spending, promiscuity, gambling, drug or alcohol abuse, shoplifting, overeating or physically self-damaging actions such as suicide gestures. The person may show inappropriate and intense anger or rage with temper tantrums, constant brooding and resentment, feelings of deprivation, and a loss of control or fear of loss of control over angry feelings. There are also identity disturbances with confusion and uncertainty about self-identity, sexuality, life goals and values, career choices, friendships. There is a deep-seated feeling that one is flawed, defective, damaged or bad in some way, with a tendency to go to extremes in thinking, feeling or behavior. Under extreme stress or in severe cases there can be brief psychotic episodes with loss of contact with reality or bizarre behavior or symptoms. Even in less severe instances, there is often significant disruption of relationships and work performance. The depression which accompanies this disorder can cause much suffering and can lead to serious suicide attempts.
I know someone who has this kind of delusional and psychotic personality, and up to now she is still struggling to finish her course, which she spend almost 13 years in one course alone, however until now she's still a student and unable to graduate her course in Music.What a pathetic person.
