So for the past few months I've been experiencing some bad paranoia. I think my phone, car and house are bugged and I think my house has cameras in it. I think my dad tries to kill me or poison me when he makes me food so I don't eat the food he makes me, and I always think people are going to shoot me when I go out in public. Sometimes I think I'm dead or not real and I start freaking out but then I'll realize I'm not and the world kinda snaps back and I realize I'm alive and real. Does this mean anything?

Schizophrenia also runs in my family but I don't have hallucinations

Hey with the bugging thing, like your car and house. I have that paranoia too. That tense feeling you get. Like I get a fear around my house are cameras or tape recorders or in my car. I fear people are out to get me. Those who secretly hate me. Which I don't know why since I'm a nice person. Paranoia is strong. You have to combat it meaning if the idea comes, instantly tell your self why its not real and distract yourself. The feeling might not go away and your mind might try to find loops around it but you have to try! Otherwise you will only slip deeper into it. Paranoia is like a black hole keep getting closer to it and closer and it will consume you. It's not easy especially if you feel like you don't believe what you're saying but just try. When the feeling hits, tell all the reasons why it's not real and why it wouldn't be. Ex. I think my dad is poisoning my food. Now say... Why? He loves me, he always made food before and I lived. See? that's just an example.

Okay I'll try. I feel like it's taking over my mind and I'm going crazy. Is this possibly related to the schizophrenia that runs through my family?

I also think demons are talking to me in my head sometimes

We all have our synchronicities and intricacies. My thing is I can always communicate with God at any time if I turn on the radio and tune it to just static no stations. It becomes auditory for me. I know it's ridiculous. Yet I believe it at times.

I have a lot of those paranoid thoughts too and what has helped me is my anti psychotic medication. I still believe in these things, but now they aren't as crippling and I can function pretty well most of the time. Some of the other paranoid thoughts I get take a lot of reassuring and positive thinking to help me stop believing them or at least having them not be as crippling.

I have these same sort of paranoid thoughts. I always think people are out to get me and are stalking me, i always think people know something about me and might use it to hurt or humiliate me in front of people. It sucks a lot, I try to brush it off but it just gets worse.

Yeah, I've had that bugging paranoia too. When I was a kid I thought my 3rd grade class had installed cameras in the bathroom at my house so they call watch me go to the bathroom and make fun of me. It was horrible.

I also get that unreal feeling. It's call disassociation or depersonalization. It comes with anxiety as well as other things. A lot of people have that. It's eerie, I know.

I feel like I'm high all the time lol
