I've definitely had at least one paranoid episode back when I was in college. I spent many hours each day watching out the window for my boyfriend's ex so that I could look at her and tell if she had been with him. I was also looking for him to be walking around with her. It made no sense because they had broken up two years before and he had graduated and lived two hours away.

Lately, I have had these underlying thoughts kind of like back ground noise that my neignbors might be judging me through the windows. If they look in and see that I am still sitting on my couch in my PJs or if I have gone upstairs and left my toddler in his exersaucer, that they would judge me for it.

I also get very nervous if I hear a car door slam because I am afraid the person will be coming to ring my doorbell and if I answer they will see my house is a mess and will call DSS on me.

I am starting to worry when I go for walks that people are looking at me through their windows or from their cars.

It is starting to really bother me.

I brought it up to my therapist but we were at the end of the session so we will have to explore it next week.
