Living with Paranoid Delusions: Acceptance or Denial?

Thank you OP. Supremely helpful. Saying a prayer for your grandma up there 💕

no it's fine, she was a horrible person. not because of her definite bipolar disorder and probable schizophrenia, although that didn't help. but yeah she had high blood pressure and she hadn't had a stranger at any house she lived in my memory, and I was 10 when she died. that day she stressed herself out to the point where she ended up with a BP of roughly 275/150 and ruptured an artery near her brain stem. she was functionally dead before she made it to the ambulance, but she was on life support for two weeks before they called it

I have done this for as long as I can remember! I never thought anything of it until this post really. It's been a part of my life for so long that I didn't really pay it any mind. I havent been diagnosed with anything mentally except for anxiety and depression, but I guess there may be something else going on as well.

I feel you, I don't really know what to do about mine, I'm pretty self aware so most of the time I can catch myself and understand it's not real but some days it's pretty severe so I can't really do much about it :( I just try to accept it and make a laugh about it.

To note my sister has been previously diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in the past during puberty but I never have. My mind started degrading as an adult after a lot of external variables were applied to it. I definitely suspect a lot of my anxiety is associated with OCD and considering way too many possibilities from the unlimited roster available... Soooo.... In this day and age feeling as if you are being watched with technology etc rising like it has, there is more reason to have the feeling this is possible. Ultimately if you aren't presenting anything that would be worrisome for an "outside entity" to be concerned with, most likely you're fine. Enjoy entertaining yourself and whoever may be watching the show. Cheers

I have gone thru phases like this before but I knew that it was highly improbable and it sounds like you do also. Depending on things like computers and theories on simulated realities who knows WTF is happening. The bottom line is if they aren't coming for you and there is no reason to be afraid aside from personal embarrassment, your world is your oyster. If you are having a super hard time with this I hope it gets better💕

Im so glad I’m not alone in this. I have delusions all the time and chock it up to a somewhat overactive imagination. I’ll imagine people in the room or the same thing mentioned in this post that I’m thinking there’s cameras somewhere or someone’s listening (even though i’m sure our phones are anyway 😅) i describe this to people and they don’t get it but don’t know if it’s an issue or not cuz I function and don’t let it overwhelm me…. Very mysterious
