Sometimes some coincidences happen with me, i wonder if still there are cameras :movie_camera: the delusion is very mild for now but some people know how to trigger it unintentionally and unaware. (In real life)

I don’t know how to overcome it completely.

It doesn’t bother me anymore. Used to be afraid to talk.

Yeah. This was always my biggest thing. Has lessened a lot but still intrudes pretty often.

I threw out everything electrical in my house years ago thinking there were camera’s hidden in everything, cost me a fortune, now I have a complete security system indoors and out,

yeah like sometimes, some things happen … :flushed: I know it is a coincidence but living with someone is pretty difficult. I always wonder about it. If it is not him, it could be the government :joy: I do not act on it yet though, I have checked almost every corner of the house and I have a security app on my phone which includes cameras, but we didn’t install it. So I wonder if he actually secretly installed them :flushed:

I used to get scared that I was being watched, but medicine took that fear away.

I still worry about being watched by disguised cameras where ever I might be.
Sometimes I think that my TV is recording me.

Having irrational thoughts about people watching you or cameras being set up to record you is certainly a delusion, this was one of my first symptoms before I got really unwell in 2011. My doctor called it the ‘prodromal phase’ of my psychosis, I don’t know about you but at the same time I also had something called depersonalisation and derealisation. Derealisation is when you have thoughts that the world around you isn’t real, its made up, like feelings of being in a movie, as if everyone is actors, seeing the world differently from everyone else, alien-like almost. Depersonalisation is like an out of body experience, you become ‘depersonalised’ from your body, you feel your floating above yourself looking down on your dead non responsive body, time slows down really slow and sometimes you can shake your self out of it and return to your body if you like, its a really weird experience. Anyway I’m just warning you that thinking that these are just ‘mild’ symptoms is a bad route down into having poor insight into your illness. Psychosis is usually progressive, though sometimes sudden onset can happen in rare cases, most of the time you will start to gradually get worse and worse before taking an ‘episode’. I’m not saying your in a crisis obviously, though keep an eye on it, if things get worse tell a family member or get your self checked out by a psychiatrist. That’s the first thing I done before I got really unwell.
