You should share these thoughts with whomever prescribed your medication. They may be able to help you.

I'm glad you realize these are Paranoid thoughts. That is a step in the right direction.

I would caution the previous poster that people who do suffer from paranoid delusions actually believe them. Any shred of evidence that supports their claim, they take it as a sign of absolutely certainty.

I like to use the example of a lady lying in a psychiatric ward. She is convinced the government has wired the ceiling to monitor her every move.

One day there is a leak in the roof and maintenance removes the ceiling tiles to reveal all of the building wiring and wires holding the ceiling tiles in place.

People with out paranoia know that the building wires are not part of a government monitoring system. People with paranoia just had their delusion confirmed 10 fold.
