I thought at one time that a doctor from a different hospital had said that these were obsessional thoughts and I automatically assumed that he was talking about OCD. I may have misunderstood him, since this doctor is using similar phrasing and is calling it psychosis.
When I am driving, I have the thoughts that the car is following me, but I am able to say, "What would they be following me for?" Then I feel surprised that I would even have thoughts about people following me. But it happens every time I drive and I get nervous until the car turns onto another street or is no longer behind me.
