A recurring night time theme. I go to bed and start imagining someone’s in the flat. It’s as though I’m sensing a presence. This is anxiety plus but less than a delusion? It’s certainly irrational as apart from my stepdaughter anyone who wants to get into my flat has to both key in a number to get in downstairs and then knock on my door to be let in to my flat.

Condolences, I can imagine the discomfort and disruption this causes.

The thing is I can reality test this , but it is doggedly persistent in rearing its ugly head.

I have trouble with this so many times. I sometimes sleep in my closet, to keep me safe from all the murderers I’m convinced have broken in.

I used to think and almost feel demons in my room, similar to yours. Then I got smart and figured out its a hallucination. The way I overcame it was meditation and breathing techniques

I’m so sorry @firemonkey. This sounds terrible. Does anything help?

We are all very glad to see you come out of the closet.
(In the morning, that is.)

My voices told me that the watchers and the government couldn’t see me in the closet. So, naturally, I picked up all my blankets and pillows and off to the closet I went. It was cramped and hot in there. My mom came home and found me and she was livid. She said that giving into my voices would only make them stronger. I tried to explain that she didn’t understand and that the closet was safe, but she was not having any of it. I did obey her when she demanded I get out, but I was super pissed. I went back to my bed and cried under the blankets.

I have this often. We put up security cameras to make me feel better. But then I just get paranoid about cameras always watching me. Pick your battles, I guess.

Yeah, sometimes it’s a lose-lose situation unfortunately.
