hi, my name's leo. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if i'm just overreacting over nothing out of the ordinary, but i've been feeling kind of freaked out/confused about what i feel like is going on in my mind, i think? i'm not sure i'm sorry
anyhow.. for the past couple of months i've been feeling more paranoid about the intentions of the people around me, i get a strong feeling that they really want to hurt me and i try to keep an eye out when i'm out and about. i'm still in high school and during the school year it was bad enough often enough that i had to find a quiet place to go to get away relatively often because i was scared.. now it's not as bad since i'm at home but i feel afraid when i leave the house
also, i don't hallucinate much but in recent weeks i've been doing so i think? like a door banging but no one is there and someone calling my name (no one else that was around heard them but im not sure). there have been a couple times when i could strongly sense some sort of malevolent presence nearby but i couldn't see anything, i thought it might be there to serve some sort of punishment. i also end up dissociating pretty often for whatever reason (a little less than before i think). also, i've been having issues with self-harm but it's not that bad i think.
to wrap up.. I understand that making diagnoses on other members are against forum rules, however i would like to ask for advice in dealing with these kinds of things? sorry i'm just sort of confused, im not even sure if this is common behavior/mindset to have. thank you!!
