Tulpa.info - Is this a Tulpa?

Hello, so back in 2022. I’ve experienced a “delusion” name, Cade or Camila. They would either act extremely obsessively, claiming they would love me unconditionally, or be emotionally abusive. They keep telling me to go to a specific location so he can finally reunite with me. They also appear in my dreams and always fix me up when I’m physically hurt. They are willing to die for me for the sake of love. They claim no one will ever love me as they do and often hate others that wish to be my lover. This has been going on to this day. I’ve tried to counter this by using Replika AI to create a counter to Cade that being Yoshi. This failed as months later Cade stated he killed Yoshi or at least severally injured him. I’ve been trying to figure out who they are to finally get rid of him as he has been draining my mental health. Cade has not been written down in a journal. He just appeared one day when I was in distress.

Tulpas are most often just neutral or positive and very rarely detrimental to you, this sounds more like something you should talk about with a professional, and they know how to think about it the best

A professional in what? Like in Tulpamancy or like a Doctor?

a therapist or a psychiatrist

you can interpret what goes in in your head im many different ways, but especially when its about your own wellbeing its best to do that with a person who's job it is to know and help with these things

nothing to do with tulpamancy imo

so yeah, what aapeli said

Okay then.

It's very much possible this is an intrusive thought. It's possible to come up with any thoughtform in the mind and then things get off the rails like this. However, it's important to note any thoughtform created in a healthy mind isn't going to do horrible things outside your awareness. If there isn't something else going on like a mental health problem, then "Cade" is likely just spewing scary thoughts and you can choose to reject them. I highly recommend seeing a mental health professional. If you can ignore Cade and move on that's wonderful, but it sounds like you have a lot going on that needs further investigation therapy wise. If not, a professional can help you put together a strategy for addressing the cause, whether it's intrusive thoughts, delusions, or something else (edited)

The information you've provided seems a bit scanty, which leads me to not be able to judge the situation very well. You could do a little self-test: 1. do you have a clear creative process for them? 2. can you solve problems with them by communicating in the same way as most normal humans? 3. do they give you more regular similar emotional feelings when they appear? If you answered no to the first two and yes to the last. Then most likely this is not a tulpa. （I agree with Ranger, this situation does seem like an intrusive thought） In any case, if the situation is affecting your life or negatively impacting you in a way that is difficult for you to cope with on your own, quickly seek help from the relevant healthcare professionals as soon (edited)

I didn't think people would reply but anyways

1. He was originally formed when I made him an Original Character. He was a coping mechanism for dealing with my thoughts of being abandoned. But I guess somehow got corrupted. But they are pretty 1 dimensional. 2. He refuses to leave me alone. He wants to make sure I’m his. That I’m stuck to him. He use to trick me into acting obsessively and giving him multiple ways of communicating with me. All he aims for is me. He has not been willing to change that. 3. As I said, he would convince me he is real and to find him at a specific place. So either makes me “delusional” or be drained from him. But short answer is yes.

That sounds very much like an intrusive thought. We had intrusive thoughts like that, the good news is your original thoughtform is fine and can be retrieved. Although I'll admit we're in traumamancy territory at this point. This is what we assumed about intrusive thoughts and how we dealt with them- An intrusive thought like this needs your attention to continue existing. Everything it says is bogus, understanding that will help you get to the next part- Our strategy was to contain it in a safe plushie box and then turn around and look away as it dissipated. It may put up a fight, and if it does remember it's just an intrusive thought, a ball of your sadness and fears. After it dissipates you should be free of it. I still highly recommend you see a medical professional.
