I don't know what exactly to say. I'm scared. I have had to take down all posters in my room because I know they have cameras. 17 year old male. My parents don't believe me. Think I'm playing. They're Getting angry. There's always whispering. Have cats always had three eyes? I don't like it. I'm starting to lash out. Get angry. Irritated. I really hate this. Do I need help? Or maybe I'm doing all this for attention, I don't know. I know that I have to save the world but I don't know how. I haven't gotten that far yet. But I really would like to know what's wrong with me. If that's okay. Am I crazy like people say? I have depression, I think. I've never seen a doctor for any of this. I don't like doctors. I can't get my words out clearly anymore, when I used to be really smart I think. I don't know. I'm jsut really scared. Can someone tell me what's going on?

Depression can cause you to become paranoid and it can even make it hard for you to think clearly. You really need to talk to someone before this gets worse though we can't tell you what's going on. it could be so many things. You need to realize though there is nothing to be afraid of. No one is trying to hurt you. I felt the same way when I was 18. I flipped out and no one would listen to me even my family made fun of me and told me I was making it up which made it so much worse for me. I couldn't trust them because of it. just please please please try not to be afraid. You should talk to a therapist.. You don't have to like doctors and you don't have to take meds if you don't want to just please at least talk to a therapist.

First off, you're not "crazy." That's not a good word. You're just in a place where you need some help. And, that's not crazy, that's perfectly normal. Everyone needs help sometimes. Recognizing you might need some help is 100% not crazy. It's responsible.

So, my advice is to talk to your doctor. If your parents are not responding to things you tell them, make an appointment with your general doctor. Tell him what's going on just like you told us. Then, he can refer you to a psychiatrist. That's the doctor that can help you with what's going on.

It may be scary, but you can get through this.

I also used to believe there were cameras in my house when I was a little girl. I believed my classmates installed them in the bathroom, so they could gather and make fun of me while I was in there. But, it was not true, and that's all gone now. So, it will be okay.

I always thought, from when I was really little, that all of the mirrors in my house were two-way or had a camera installed in them... So I know how creeped-out & violated you feel.

If you're really feeling super unsafe or anxious, I'd definitely find a nearby mental health clinic that helps for free/on a sliding scale or find a therapist/psychiatrist combo that takes your insurance. They can tell you WHY you are having this awful thoughts & offer a good way of treating them! The meds will help you see clearly & the therapy will help you find ways of coping when these episodes crop up.

Feel better soon.
