I wouldn’t say that this person is an imaginary friend, I just think that there is a person with me all of the time. I see random things fall on the ground and I just think that it’s him that’s doing this. I don’t hear/see him but I would consider him a friend (my only friend) and I talk to him. Do you guys think this? Is this a delusion, I really don’t know…

I have a guardian angel, Jerek, coming to me when I get delusional. I don’t feel his presence when I am properly medicated. I know something is going on when he appears. I hear him talk though. Even on meds.

I think your paranoia is making you hyper aware of small changes in your environment and then trying to explain it (make it a less confusing phenomenon) by saying there is an invisible being following you around.

Wish I had a good, protective, caring person in my body but I don’t know who is in my body sometimes. Mainly just want privacy and my own body back. Still think people see and hear my intrusive thoughts to the point that I can’t think of anything else. Keep imagining people talking to me like celebrities and they think I’m a pervert and a racist. I think someone brainwashed me. They treat really inhumanely. There is this mean girl in my body who tried to mess up my face because I don’t think she’s that pretty. She is very treacherous. It is like a nightmare every day I wake up. Absolutely hate them!

Because I feel like I am in a brain study being controlled and monitored constantly, I always feel like people are with me as well. I talk to them whenever I am alone. My phone and computer were messing up and I am certain it was them. They have total control over my TV, phone and computer. It is a big part of my fake reality. They are always there.
Yes, I think it is a delusion just like mine but I still believe it.

That’s the same thing with me and Elliot, he’s the menacing shadow being that follows me, primarily in darker places and when I’m alone. He finds it funny to torment me and convinces me that it’s fun to hurt myself and that others should be done the same. I keep the urges pretty well under control however, but some times I find I lose conscious control, especially with him around.
My medication has been keeping him away though, I haven’t heard his malicious voice since I’ve taken it. Some times I do get paranoid he’s still around though.

Treat Mr. Shadow creepy like a spoiled child- starve them of attention and watch the fun begin. Oooh they hate it when you ignore them, takes the wind out of their sails. Like a deflated balloon they wither and die.

The people controlling my brain have completely taken control of my brain and body before. They have caused me to hurt myself. It is absolutely terrifying. I am constantly afraid of them. I feel powerless. All I can do is take my meds, which I do.

Oh gosh I’m sorry to hear that, terrifying would be an understatement at that point.
Mine didn’t get as bad as that, it sure felt that way though, I was afraid I’d act on his commands, so that’s why I got help when I did…well, I mentioned how bad it was to my sister and she suggested. Before I began losing some insight and thinking all of this was okay, I knew it was wrong.
At least you’re keeping the evil at bay with medication, it seems to be our best solvent right now.

Yeah, don’t forget yer meds, but best of all, don’t feed yer monsters anything…no time, no attention, no leftovers.
Don’t pay them any mind, and they soon learn you’re no fun to bother. They’ll go somewhere else where they do find someone will feed them, and there they lay their hat-and call it home.
Your choice of course. May be fun at first, but like an ugly relative you can’t get rid of fast enough after learning they use your toothbrush and drink juice straight from the carton. It pays to learn to rid the beast while you can.

Mine got so bad that I had a whole committee following me. In the shower, bedroom, outside, inside…every-freaking-where! I would turn off all electrical devices and hide from them. A few times I spent days on end in a sweltering hot apartment (it was over 110 degrees outside) because if I had my ac on they would know I was home! It was as if I were famous…I even checked YouTube and social networking sites to see if some lie about me was making a viral wave somewhere. It took nearly four years for me to semi-accept that it was in my head and go to mental health. When I , skeptically, took my new medicines I was shocked that they went away! I still hear them and do my very best to ignore them. Like someone else posted…they can’t stand being ignored! They get bored eventually and they go to a new host. Today I am so much happier and think very little about them…I am free to do as I wish and like living again. I can’t take long showers unless my best friend sits in the bathroom with me. That’s because they really invaded my privacy there and freaked me out. Best bet…take the meds and ignore them. Do mind numbing games like casino and cards to help ignore them when you are alone. Concentrate on your friends that are there. I have five friends and ones a dog! Nothing like being an psycho to figure out who your TRUE friends are! It gets better and better if you follow these rules of thumb.

I am hoping eventually my idea that I am being watched everywhere will go away. I don’t even bother to check Google or Facebook etc. because I believe my entire world is controlled to keep my own fame away from me. The TV, Internet, my phone and even when I go to the movies. It’s all staged and fake.
I know it takes time, sometimes, to get rid of these kinds of delusions. It isn’t the irritation of being watched that bothers me so much, it is the distracting knowledge of it. It is extremely distracting to live in a fake, staged world while being controlled and monitored constantly.
