I think strange things?!
Question: I think strange things!?
and I get really paranoid!. Like, I'll get a stupid thought into my head like what if my whole life is just a dream!. What if I'm not even me, I'm a different person or I'm not actually here, just imagining it!. I know it's not real, but then I'll get scared about it!. Sometimes I convince myself that nobody likes me and that all my friends are just pretending and going against me, or everything is a set up!. I think like maybe some things I think are real aren't and some things I think aren't real are!. I get really confused and paranoid about it, I don't know whether things are actually real or not!. I always think someone is watching me or following me or I think up bad scenarios in my head when it can't happen but then get scared of it!.
I'm not on drugs and I'm not just thinking too much, these things just come to me!. What is it and how do I stop it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It could be several things!. You could just have an overly active imagination and your fear of particular thoughts just fuels it!.
It could also be paranoia or what they call magical thinking!.
Both of these occur with a few different disorders, one of which is paranoid schizophrenia, as one person did mention!. Another is the manic, or sometimes hypomanic, phase of bipolar disorder, as devilhue mentioned!. I have bipolar disorder, and I have experienced both, thinking someone was trying to poison me, that I wasn't real, and all sorts of things that made me think I was losing my mind!. It can also occur with OCD!.
Please don't think you're alone or that they're going to come and lock you down in a padded cell because you're having these thoughts!. As long as you aren't compelled to hurt yourself or someone else---and nothing in your question suggests that---then you're perfectly fine staying at home!. The fact that you know these thoughts aren't real shows that you're in pretty good health mentally!. If there is an underlying cause besides an overly active imagination, I would bet that you have caught it in its early stages, which is a very good thing, indeed!.
Make an appointment with a psychiatrist or a therapist for an evaluation!. Just tell them what you have told us!. They will ask you some questions and possibly have you fill out a few questionnaires---things like rating statements on a scale of 1-10!.!.!.!."I never feel happy" or "I often laugh for no reason!." Nothing to worry about!. And don't be afraid that they will think you are odd---they've seen and heard things 1000 times worse than your problem!.
From there they should have a pretty good idea of what to do in your situation: therapy, medication, a combination of the two, or simple relaxation techniques!. Either way, it will set your mind at ease to know!.

Its just paranoia!. I used to be convinced that there where camera's all over my house, and when i'm out and about, I see every body as a threat!. After watching the Matrix i started thinking about life being a dream, but in dreams you can't feel anything, and i can certainly feel stuff!. You just need to relax some more, and have faith in your friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think you have a very active imagination and a creative mind!.
I'm kinda similar!.
I think if you could find some way to express all these thoughts and images and ideas, that it would really help you out!. I don't know if you can draw, or write poetry or short stories, but you should give it a try!. You're not crazy, just creative!. A mind that is always working and thinking and imagining might seem like its crazy, but its just very active!.

Havn't got much to say on this but, your not alone, I seem to frequently think that way!. Mainly that everything is infact a set up!.
But well I wouldn't worry, it is probably just our imaginations (I hope lol)

Go to the doctors honey!. Tell them how difficult it is to stop these thoughts!. Try not to be scared they will help you!. It could be some sort of obsessive compulsive behaviour and getting help would really make things better for you!. Good Luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com
