Good job on getting an offer, even if it is for short term! Are you nervous about it?

I am not nervous. I am overqualified for it and the pay is below what I want to work for but I just hope I can do it. Getting enough sleep is the problem I have with working.

Eyes. Sometimes peopleā€™s eyes but mostly things shaped like eyes or eyes on shirts and such. Yesterday at work a lady came through with a purse that had eyes images all over it and I wanted to walk away

Oh no! Eyes are everywhere and in art too! That must be hard for you!

Why do you want to know? What do you want from me?

I get paranoid that there are cameras or recording devices in my home, especially in electrical appliances, i think that people can hear what i say and see what i do. I get paranoid that people can read my thoughts. I think people are out to cause me harm. I sometimes worry that people arenā€™t really people but are actually aliens.

I mainly get paranoid that others can hear my thoughts. I also get paranoid that if Iā€™m in bed and my feet or hands are too close to the edge of the bed then something will grab them. Childhood fear no doubt. Im paranoid about a lot of little things.

I was just curious what everyone else experiences. Nothing is needed from you. You donā€™t have to reply. Sorry I freaked you out.

The biggest one is I get paranoid about not being alone. Like if Iā€™m in my bedroom Iā€™ll start thinking something or someone else is in there and the fear just grows and grows. When I lived in the city Iā€™d get paranoid that people followed me back to my apartment and were going to try to break in. Once I even got paranoid that people I knew on the Internet were watching me through cameras on like my phone and computer and stuff.

When my paranoia and delusions are really bad, Iā€™m paranoid and delusional that my husband sexually wants every other woman except me (but heā€™s not one to actually want other people, in reality). I also get paranoid about cameras everywhere, people watching me through the windows, and pictures watching me. I get paranoid that people are going to stab me or that my husband is going to get into a car accident or die somehow. I also, also get paranoid that people are thinking sexual things of me when Iā€™m in public (Iā€™m a sexual abuse survivor).

I get this paranoia, too. I get paranoid that dead people are watching my every move and judging me.

I have another thing to throw in.
Did any of you ever experience really weird childhood ocd types of things??
I believed for along time that if i didnā€™t sleep with the nightlight on, that when i would wake up i would only see blackness(day and night).
Another obsession i had was i was required to sleep with one hand under my head. I donā€™t even remember what i was trying to prevent doing this but I still pretty much sleep like this today.
I also did the typical check the stove and lightswitches multiple times to make sure everything was off.
