I've been experiencing something strange that is hard to explain. I will suddenly get a scary thought in my head, such as that an intruder is going to pop out. I become very fearful and believe it is happening. It's so real to me that for a second I can see it in front of my eyes. Then it's gone just as abruptly as it came.

My paranoia is worse than ever. I feel like strangers I talk to on the internet are people I know irl. I can't go out in public or to work without thinking people are saying bad things about me or planning harm. I've also been having racing thoughts, little sleep, anxiety, and depression. I feel like I'm in the same mixed episode I've had since October.
