No. I can’t lose what I never had.

This sounds like the psychosis I experience. It’s like that pretty much everyday, except I am mostly good at telling myself I am experiencing delusional thinking.

When I’m really bad I totally loose the plot, but that rarely happens anymore now I am medicated.

I thought I was surrounded by secret agents and undercover cops. I thought some of my friends had access to my laptop and phone. I also thought my neighbors were spying on me.

So it’s common to feel like someone is trying to kill you even a old friend or family member
Like posioning the air or somthing?

For a few months, I thought almost everyone i know was wanting me dead, and even some people who didn’t really know me. I thought someone called a hit on me and went into isolation, and that cameras were everywhere, that people were bombarding me with radiation from across the street. Lots of weird stuff like echolocation to spy on me.

I’m glad that after being medicated I’m back to reality, for the most part, although the ghost of fear remains to haunt me a bit.

I had the preoccupation with carbon monoxide leaks as well, and poison. It just never stopped snowballing until I sought help. I was genuinely concerned enough to tell the doctor that there were people after me.

I don’t know but I have beliefs and experiences (hallucinations mostly) every day that no one else has but it only gets bad when I can’t tell no one else has them. So I appear “eccentric” or “weird” but only have issues when it takes over and I get suicidal or aggressive or do things which goes beyond behaviors society is willing to tolerate (like walking down the middle of a busy road).
