anyone else experienced paranoia like this?
Posted , 4 users are following.
For some time now I've been very paranoid..for example I felt my ex housemate who owned the house was mad at me, and when she went away I was convinced she had put cameras in the house to watch me while she was away. Another example is that my other flatmates boyfriend has been slightly aggressive once when drunk..one night I woke up to him having a shower at 6 in the morning. For some reason I was convinced he'd killed her and was cleaning himself up and was going to move onto me next!
The new one is that my neighbour was once seen looking through binoculars into our house. Which is creepy but it was years ago and nothing has happened since. But I feel like he's planted cameras all over the house and am scared to get changed in case he's watching. I went for a run today and passed someone who looked a bit like him and thought he was following me until I got home and saw him in his house. But still I thought he must have rushed back to make me think it wasn't him!
I know these thoughts are irrational but still I can't help believing to some extent that they are real! Is this normal? I'm doing a lot better these past few days but I am still thinking crazy stuff like this

I think I'm going to have to just tell them how much this potential diagnosis is bothering me and just be honest and say exactly what's been going on because I've been holding back for so long and you're completely right it isn't doing me any favours. In fact I'm just pushing away any help I'm offered and it's impacting on my personal relationships too.
Just to be clear when you said it sounds like bpd you did mean borderline personality disorder? I know either way I need a doctor to tell me for sure, but I just want to start preparing myself for a diagnosis
Thanks again for your advice it's really helped me
