I have reason to believe that someone has broken into my house. I have had suspicions before because things will be changed or more specifically my books would say different things in them . I haven’t had proof of this until tonight. I was reading the book 'a beautiful mind when I noticed my placeholder was missing. Usually I bend the top left of a page to tell where I’ve read, and I know I had two in this book specifically. They are now gone. I am medicated and take invega for my schizophrenia, but this somewhat proves that my delusions aren’t coming from inside the house so to speak. Please give me tangible direction, I’m tired of being in the dark.

Is this a recurring thing that you think someone is breaking in and messing with you? Can you get a security camera?

Is there any more evidence or is it just the book? Thieves usually take TV’s, stereo’s, jewelry, silverware etc Breaking in someones house and just opening a closed book and unbending two folded corners of a page doesn’t sound like any burglar I’ve heard of. Is it possible that someone you lived with did this or that you did it yourself an forgot?

Yes it has happened for some time now even at prior residencies, I unfortunately cannot afford to put cameras in my apartment. My computer has a camera on it, but I don’t have enough space on it to be recording all the time.

Its a controlled and specific tactic im assuming at this point. The only reason i believe it is happening is to harass me. I live alone, and the only thing I notice sometimes is that when I get home my cat alerts me like someone has been there. He’s normally sleeping or very calm when I come home.

Another example is when I borrowed the book 1984 from my friend. While I had it the way things were worded was in a context that could be read as say a letter from a friend with extreme distaste for the person reading. My friend even pointed out again when I borrowed it for the second time that it looked like the cover was fine, but that the contents of the book had been changed.

I had a similar experience. I was convinced somone broke in and ruined my guitars. It was done to help my tormentors either send me to the hospital permanently or convince me to commit suicide. But I realized soon afterwards that one guitar had been left overnight in a cold room with the windows open and it’s neck just needed an adjustment. The other was fine as is, I had been so stressed out that when I had tested it, I had pressed so hard on the strings that it sounded out of whack even though it was in tune. I think understand that when a person has paranoid ideation and delusions about being spied on and harassed, fairly insignificant events and details can take on an overwhelming significance and appear to be proof that these unusual ideas are real. But honestly, while I can understand what you’re going through, I think your best option is to talk to your psychiatrist about these things and maybe he or she can adjust your meds or prescribe an appropriate treatment plan for you. With a period of med-compliance on the right med and dosage, these disturbing thought will eventually dissipate and you will feel much better.
