Frequent Paranoid/Delusional Thoughts

Hi all! I haven't posted here before. My last diagnoses was Schizoaffective Bipolar Type, but I'm not sure if it's that or something else, and figured I should just post this here.

Recently I've had frequent paranoid thoughts about people watching me, entities being all around me, an entity trying to harm me I warded off with a certain song, and other strange thoughts like being in a children's TV show. Like everything is a set or an experiment.

I talked to my therapist about it, we talked it through and everything but it didn't really help? She did let me know a thought that I figured was paranoid was actually completely okay, and sensible, which is good. It feels like my brain is trying to come up with a delusion that "sticks".

Does this happen to anyone else? Is this a sign of a psychotic episode coming on? How can I help out my brain here, and is this even a thing, the brain trying to come up with this stuff?

Thanks guys <3

Could it be that you are being gangstalked? Just a thought...

Do you NOTICE people watching you and commenting about your daily life? People you hardly know. Are you being stalked by multiple people in streets who seem to know everything about you?

If not, then I would say this is classical paranoia.

I have not noticed any of these things, so I guess that's good haha. I would agree this is paranoia, I just wanted to know if it could be a sign of an impending psychotic episode and advice on how to calm it down, or see if anyone else struggles with these thoughts. Thank you for your reply!

i know this kinda thinking.
all these visible and invisible eyes starring at me, even when i am all alone i feel a tyrannic strength watching me, influencing me, taking control over my thoughts and so on.

it's hard to take a reality check when i can't even tell for sure what it is real or not. and the thing you just can't categorize as right or wrong are feelings, even if they are that scurril and surreal.

in stressful situations it's getting more intense, so i try the best i can to avoid stress factors.

take care of yourself.
