The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me

The core of the erotomania syndrome is that the affected person has a delusional belief that another person, usually of higher social status, but not always, is secretly in love with them. The sufferer may also believe that the subject of their delusion secretly communicates their love by subtle methods such as body posture, body language, arrangement of household objects and other seemingly innocuous acts, and thinking that the person is talking about them (or, if the person is a public figure, through clues in the media). The object of the delusion usually has little or no contact with the delusional person, who often believes that the object initiated the fictional relationship. Erotomanic delusions are typically found as the primary symptom of delusional disorder, or in the context of schizophrenia.
