Currently suffering from a bout of extreme paranoia, from a number with similar numbers. I have been getting calls twice a day and for some reason its messing with me
I used to think the phone ringing was responding to my thoughts, yes. But that was in psychosis.

i always google them - if it a number i dont recognise, they can leave a message, i dont pick them up.

I sometimes get calls from strangers, never pick up the phone if I don’t recognize the number, unless I’m expecting a package delivery.
No need to get paranoid. Always remind yourself there’s no secret agenda against you. We’re ill, that is the boring truth.

Exactly, i ended up not answering anymore. Its annoying but i think my schz is messing with me. Making me think there is a deeper truth. @Naarai
@Andrey i would rather be bored and at peace than paranoid over something vague. Thank you for your reply.

Me too am paranoid from unknown calls… i always expect some kind of problem, while i fear to leave my home and to see people even still…
I dont answer them the most of the time…
Yeah, i would be very scared if someone was insisting like that, am sorry, dear…
Big hugs, you are not alone in this!!

Don’t get paranoid, but don’t pick up to play their game. Well, I don’t really, just say I’m not interested and hang up. Known calls only, unless I’m expecting to hear from someone out of the ordinary.

It sucks. I just end up with anxiety, i just don’t pick up anymore.
@Anna1 Thank you for understanding. Same here and it’s the reason why i answer. I feel like it’s very important, so i bite the bait. I feel a lot better knowing it’s not only me!
@Mr_Hope I will follow this advice, i think it’s best for my mental health. I’m an overtly anxious person, so you can imagine how anything so monotonous can make me anxious.
