Paranoia

Feel my ocd is getting worse. Lately feel paranoid sometimes. Guy pulls up to gas his car up at the pump I was using, there was an open pump but he’s behind me I’m just about done. His buddy was doing something by another pump he gave him a honk he came back over to talk. They were foreign. I started to feel like they were doing something and now it’s what I’m thinking about. The paranoia feeling is bad and then thinking about it. Can OCD do that…..

Sounds like a lot of thinking and what-ifs. Yes, ocd loves to ask what if over and over. Try focusing on your breathing to get through the anxious feelings. If you know how to meditate, try doing that, and if not try googling a meditation video.

I’ve experience some recently when I’ve been struggling 24/7. I don’t really understand it all but have experience some of it. It can be very scary - just wanted to validate you’re not alone.

hey there, i'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. ocd can definitely amplify paranoid thoughts and make everyday situations feel overwhelming. 😟 i stumbled across "unstuck: ocd therapy tools" right here on this forum, and it's been a game-changer for me in the past month. give it a shot, it might offer you some relief and strategies to manage these feelings too. 🛠️

Can ocd make you feel paranoid and see things?

paranoia or ocd

i’m not sure if this is an OCD symptom but sometimes i’ll feel like someone’s watching me and feel the need to cover certain things or recover things. for example, whenever i use the restroom i’ll turn off my phone and leave it in my room or turn it off and keep it with me if i’m in a public place. or sometimes i’ll think someone i like is watching me and i’ll do something different like “oh if they’re watching me, let me do this instead just in case.” does anyone else do this?

Can you share your stories if you relate?

I always worry I’ve accidentally cut someone off in traffic and caused a major accident that I didn’t see. I always feel like I’m on the verge of being arrested at any moment for having unwittingly harmed someone. Sometimes I’ll turn around, others I’ll look online for traffic accident reports. Other times it just won’t get out of my head, and I just try to remember every detail to quell the anxiety. Sometimes I worry it’s not OCD, it’s paranoia…budding psychosis. If you feel safe/comfy, would you share your similar experiences?
