Paranoia or True

I think my boyfriend has secretly snuck in my house and implanted video cameras in the light fixtures. I am searching for them now. I think he's watching me. I am afraid in my own house. He is an electrician. I recently asked him to move out after living with me 2 months. I felt suffocated. He took it well and we are still seeing each other but I needed some space to sort things out as i have been feeling very overwhelmed and stressed.

Also I wonder if he sneaks in through the bathroom window and makes himself a cup of coffee when I'm not here. I swore I locked the bathroom window the other day and different coffee cups were out.

I am afraid to be in my own home. I have told him I thought someone had bugged the house but did not tell him I thought it was him. His comment was I should put on a good show for them and laughed. It's not funny to me. He has never exhibited any such behaivior. I fear it is all in my head and I am becoming delusional. But also, I am afraid of him. Though he has never given me a reason to be.

I doubt he's climbing through windows etc

When do you see your Pdoc or T next?

Most likely it's not true. Look around for the cameras but most likely there will be none there. Change your locks if your really concerned or put extra locks in whatever makes you feel better. However you should also talk to your treatment team about it. They also need to talk to your BF about making thing worse with his comments.

I would be inclined to say paranoia but I believe my ex husband has done this and had people get close to my family to come in and get information to try and break up my marriage. One time someone snuck in our house, took a picture of themselves receiving oral sex in my computer room with my camera and didn't bother to delete the picture. This was not a delusion, my husband, mother and father saw the photo. The only reason I can see someone doing this is to make me paranoid it was my husband and end our relationship. It wasn't my husband. I don't put anything past people since you just never know but I'm told when I have thoughts like this that it's just not possible and so I try to go with that since the alternative makes me so much sicker to consider. There are devices you can buy to find bugging devices. If he did this he's a real sicko and deserves to be punished. (((Hugs)))

If you look for the cameras, I don't think you'll find any.
Just to feel better, make sure windows and doors are locked when you leave.

Do you tend to become paranoid when becoming unstable?
Does the paranoia signal a need to be in touch with your pdoc?

Take good care.

I wouldn't worry about any kinds of recording devices in your home.

If it makes you feel better, just double check that doors and windows are locked when you leave. Have you watched any spy movies recently?

I have trust issues with men. And I recently had him move out but we're still dating which is hard for me bc I have borderlne pd and usually I just run and end it when things get too intimate. I'm trying to break this pattern and hold the relationship in a gray area instead of black and white. Basically he came over and spent the night and never left for three months. I do love him but I am feeling his tentacles sucking the life out of me. Yes loads of stress, younger son for weekend, his transmission went out, I'm having backlash financial problems from manic episode. I'm going to the NAMI meeting now, gonna talk about this. Thanks for your even listening and suggestions. This site grounds me. Preciate it
