So I have really bad anxiety and at any moment I feel like I’m being watched if I think about it and sometimes i feel like it’s real. Then I think oh there’s no cameras that’s not real but then sometimes I’ll be like oh someone’s recording right now. I have a box for college and everything You know nothing crazy and I’m like oh shoot what if someone put in here a camera but there’s not cause It came from Amazon, but then I’m walking around. I’m like what does someone put cameras in my windows but there’s not like I know there’s not but it’s that fear of like what if it’s what if that I question?? does anyone else have these issues because I know there’s no cameras but I just feel like it. Thank you

Intrusive thoughts are tough.

Tell yourself repeatedly that you are safe, no one is watching and you are fine, until you start to believe it. Focus on calming your breaths and distracting yourself with another activity, until you feel more at peace. If this persists, it would be worth considering talking to a professional, it's nothing to fear or feel ashamed about, you deserve to feel at peace, genuinely sending you my best wishes 💕💜

Thank you!!! But it’s like I know it’s not real, but I can make myself believe it is but then out of that situation. I’m like that was stupid. But even got to the point where I was like oh what if my car is being traced or someone put a tracker in it there’s a microphone in it and cameras, and everyone was listening to my thoughts. So it’s basically unrealistic but when I put myself in reality, then I’m like oh no, it’s not but I can’t Just forget about it completely..
