Answer:
geez, between the pictures watching you and your best friend "feeling" you up.Oh then there was the story you made up and told your classmates that you lived in the American Embassy....Leave us attention seeker!!
You are very self-aware and intuitive, but truly "crazy" people aren't aware that they are. They have to be made aware that they are mentally ill. You might be paranoid, but not to the level of schitzophrenic. Learn to understand yourself, accept your weaknesses and know your strengths. There is only one you, so you have to live within your limitations and accept who you are.
Yeah, you need to mention this to your regular MD and they can refer you to someone else. You sound like you have a social phobia or disorder. No biggie, but I would try to at least address this so it doesn't carry over into adulthood.
Little phobias like that can really effect you in the work world and kinda come off as paranoia. I wouldn't start taking any meds though. Most MDs are gonna try to do that.
Just keep telling yourself(when you think about the pictures), "your smarter than this"! eventually it will get through to you!
talk to someone who can relate to this. It is important in this case to talk to an individual who may have also had similiar feelings and learn how they overcame the feeling. It does sound like a very uncomforatble phobia.
Please start with your general family doctor, avoid medications and ask for a referal if he/she is unable to understand.
Not mentally ill, but it is a little weird. My recommendation is to take all the pictures down and put them in albums, so you can look at them when you want to. Put up scenery or something that doesn't bother you. Magazines can be put in a drawer or on a shelf so they are not constantly looking at you, too.
YD IYT START IN 10TH THAT MAY BE UR ANSWER SOMETHING HAPPENED TO U IN 10TH GRADE THA TRIGGERED U TO DO THIS BECAUSE IN 9TH GRADE U WERE FINE FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS THAT TRAUMATIZED U AND U WILL FIND THE ROOT OF UR PROBLEM
Paranoia can affect anyone, no matter what age. Tell your MD about it; s/he will be able to talk to you about it. Don't just "kind of" mention it, either. Be open and honest about it the same way you were here, and you should get some help. Good luck!
(I kind of feel the same way sometimes, by the way.)
Adolescents go through a phase in their development where they believe that everyone is watching them or that everyone gives a damn about them, like the world revolves around them. It's very normal to feel this way especially if you are feeling insecure about yourself maybe the way you look or how you feel about who you are as a person.l
Do you feel this way around your friends or families or when people take your picture? If it's disturbing you very much, seek help. At 17 years old you do not need your parents permission to see a professional, but really, it's nothing to worry about. Learn to rationalize and calm your anxieties.
