Is this paranoia or delusion?

sometimes when i get really stressed, it seems that people around me are spying on me. i am fully aware that i am becoming derailed and know that it’s just my mental illness. so my best guess is that it isn’t to the point of delusion. the thing is, it’s a very strong feeling, like something is just overtaking me. in the past, there’s been no question that i was delusional and thought people were spying on me. but now i take 3mg of risperidone and think my medicine is keeping me from going completely off my rocker.

It’s paranoid ideation, but I agree it doesn’t reach delusional proportions, because you are not convinced it’s true.
