I have this weird feeling that people are watching me and my home also Im being followed about in the street by a black car.My neighbours are watching me in my house as they live opposite me,every time I look out my window they are staring over at me,I go out to my bin again their watching me,I hear a mans creepy voice telling me to watch out for these people and dont trust anyone.I dont know if I should tell my psch doc or not.I dont want to come accross as nuts.

You should tell your pdoc everything. I'm sure he's heard it all and won't think you are crazy. My thoughts are a lot weirder and yet I still tell him everything. your delusions are not that bad but it can still be very scary. I'm scared for my life now because the gov put a bomb in my neck and it is very powerful according to them. I'm sorry you are hearing voices, I get occasional voices but yours are worse than mine because mine are mainly noises and hearing the tv on when its not. I have other kinds of "hallucinations" like tactile ones and visuals. You are not nuts, you are suffering from a chemical imbalance in your brain. I wish I have a brain. I'm the one that is nuts! I even have a t shirt that has a psychiatrist writing notes on a piece of paper and there is a patient on the couch and the notes read, "just plain nuts." That is what I am, not you. But you might be having a psychotic episode which according to the docs, I am too. But I don't keep secrets from the pdocs no matter how "crazy" my thoughts sound.

Thanks,just so scared I get sectioned and locked up in the hell hole again thats what started my claustophobia,having the doors locked.I have 3 kids so I dont want to be apart from them.

i say tell your pdoc everything. There are other alternatives besides being sectioned, especially at this juncture. I would say medication alone might help alleviate some of your symptoms. So don't keep it to yourself otherwise it may just get worse.

Love and Hugs,

That's great Mazer, you're getting help. Chlomarprazine is a first generation antipsychotic if that's not working for you you might want to try a different drug in the same class or an atypical antipsychotic. Let your doctor know everything and see what he says. Also learn as much as you can about your disorder so you understand it and can help in your treatment.

Love and Hugs,
Tara

YOU'RE NOT NUTS. I think i have paranoid schiziophrenia. Can you relate - share your experience of psychosis and paranoia?
I was so paranoid i thought my psychiatrist was sending people to follow me to test me so i couldn't trust him.
I realise i was ill now but is it too late to tell him. I tried to tell my nurse and social worker about paranoia but i strongly feel they don't believe me because i kept quiet for so long. they think i'm putting it on but i'm not.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I too have had those feelings. My am now on geodon after being on seroquel (up to 1200 mg) for three years. That just about killed me. I can't remember a lot of what happened in those years. I'm on geodon now and it is a whole lot better. I guess I'm saying you should try meds until you find one that works. I also tried abilify but that did not work for me. I've been on anti depression and ativan and trazadone and lamitcal for my mood.
