Hey SK it’s good to see you, I am glad therapy was good. I think one of the things that helps me with those thoughts is thinking along the lines of “so what if the tv or someone was watching me, they’re not gonna see anything bad or something “ so like that’s how I used to think about it when I got paranoid, that’s how my therapist helped me learn to think about it. So what if they can see? What are they gonna see? Nothing but me watching tv or eating food lol nothing bad. It’s hard to reframe paranoia but it’s possible.

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t feel as paranoid like I used to about those things. And even when I do get that way again I don’t care enough to worry about it
