I had a panic attack when I woke up this morning. For some reason, I thought a lamp in my room was an intruder watching over me while I was sleeping. Now mind you, this lamp has been sitting on my dresser since I moved in exactly 2 years ago and I always see it when I wake up. But basically, I opened my eyes and went, "HOLY SH_T." Then I scrambled out of bed and went, "oh, just a lamp..." (It's a bronze lamp with a black shade, and is rather large, and I thought the black part was someone's hair.)

Am I starting to experience paranoia? I haven't been taking my AP. It's been about a week since I stopped taking it.

Normally when I get paranoia, I believe that I am being watched/stalked. Then I start to think that people have installed hidden cameras and are watching me. I may also get extremely delusional and think that the government is after me (although that is a rare occurrence for me even when in psychosis).
