MENTAL ILLNESS: DO YOU HAVE A FEELING OF BEING WATCHED WHEN ALONE

There are so many instances that are far from mental illness and schizophrenia, but sometimes you might be watching a movie or looking into your wallet for your credit card or money and you might pause and look back and even check your closet whether there is someone available, someone who is looking.

It comes from a lot of loneliness and disappointments. People who are lonely do not want to be lonely but that is the reality and they realize they are lonely when they hang out with people who point it out to them. So many adults who are experiencing the feeling of being watched started off as labeling where people conferred it on them and they adapt that to having a stance on life.

It is normal anxiety to feel watched because you must have trusted some people who never appreciated that trust so you just want to be very careful. It comes naturally having adopted the solitude because the person inside of you communicates every now and then, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for help when you think and ponder over and about it till it gets to a time where you experience brain strain.

One time I felt so embarrassed finding time for many activities including people and I was disappointed all over again. But then I remembered what a great man called Dr. Charles Stanley said, he said ‘to be disappointed is inevitable’ but for you to become discouraged is your own choice. No one holds the key to the moment of feeling someone is watching you but you, a state of less thinking and more doing would be able to eliminate that.

You can talk to people you really trust about it, once again people you really trust, as many people mistake mental illness for madness or someone going crazy and might worsen your stance depending on the variety of subjects. The one voice that appeals to you and the personality that sustains you can play in your head everywhere you go and it might scare you but you shouldn’t worry, just enlighten yourself with books, music, become spiritual and above all seek for help and counseling from a therapists who understands and someone who just exhibits inappropriate humour about your pressing situation.

That thing you are going through, whether you are on your bed, walking around town, sitting on a love chair, being in a washroom, or even chatting with someone on the phone discreetly is something that is being experienced by others and therefore you are not alone. 

Therefore don’t think you are going mad. Share your experiences and you would get a lot of testimonies that would enlighten your life and help others experiencing this as well.
