My original diagnosis when I applied for disability in 2005 was delusional disorder, but I think a more accurate diagnosis would be post-traumatic stress disorder. The stress, anxiety and depression I experience every single day are the result of the life-threatening trauma of being targeted, not because I'm imagining things that aren't really happening. I don't "own" the diagnosis of delusional disorder, that was a label placed on me by my psychiatrist seven years ago.
Although there's been no improvement in my medical condition during these last seven years, I haven't sought treatment because therapy exacerbates my symptoms by forcing me to relive the trauma. The expense involved in seeking treatment is another prohibitive factor.
Those are just some of the reasons why I believe I'm justified in seeking to retain my disability payments. In light of the circumstances, I don't think it's asking too much.

Social Security RETIREMENT has more than enough money for a while.
Social Security DISABILITY does NOT. It is due to run out of funds in 2016.
If you are receiving SSDI/SSI for a dx of delusional disorder and truly do not have that dx, then you are not entitled to benefits based on that dx. Being a victim of mobbing isn't a disability and wouldn't qualify someone for SSDI/SSI. Having PTSD after being a victim of mobbing could well make someone disabled and entitled to SSDI/SSI, but from what you have reported, that is not a dx that a mental health professional has found that you have (yet).
Again, I strongly recommend making an appointment with a mental health professional asap. You need a professional to determine what dx and treatment best fits you so that you, your doc, and the SSA are all on the same page.
Best wishes in dealing with all of this.
