How was your experience with schizophrenia?

What specific event makes you think somebody else is against you?

If people behind me are whispering or laughing for seemingly no reason, I start to worry that it’s because of me

Once I was traveling by bus with a carry bag. In a stoppage when I went outside the bus than only my cap was stolen by somebody. All other clothes remain safe.

Same, it is a torture to go out and feel this way. :frowning:

Yes.
The worst part is if I’m out when it’s dark and someone is walking behind me, I worry that they’re going to attack me even though I know it’s very unlikely

When I hear them talking behind my back and laughing at me, or strange looks, or when I think I’m being followed and reported to anything I do

Literally all it takes is somebody looking at me or talking to me. Not all the time but it does happen and I end up thinking I’m being followed a lot. It sucks.

If it makes you feel any better, you aren’t alone in this. Basically every single girl walking at night has this thought go through their head, mentally ill or not.

It’s very sad. How girls can’t feel safe in a lot of situations. Put paranoia on top of that and it’s an awful mix. Because we know that realistically, bad things like that do happen to girls.

I thought the courts and the psychologists were trying to discredit me by labeling me sz. their charges were trumped up and eventually dismissed. I was certain that they were the party in the wrong. I was under the impression I was dealing with a lot of false authority

Same here, it’s the most uncomfortable scary logically infallible but emotionally wrecking feeling. I go to a movie every month with my friend and when I’m not In the back row and people laugh the thought just washes over me. Makes me think I’ll never be able to be in public… and I’m the kinda person that doesn’t give a ■■■■ what people think
