I deleted all of my social media accounts a year ago because of different reasons.
The biggest reason was that I kept on thinking random strangers were actually people I knew in real life, and they were writing about me if they wrote about someone else, or were hinting at knowing me and all my wrongdoings and ugliness. Or they were gonna Dox me. This made me so stressed and I would stalk those poor strangers and the people I suspected to write about me undercover, to find any more hints that could validate my fear. It got too much and in the end it felt like every post I scrolled through was malicious towards me. Hinting at my demise.
I recently downloaded reddit again because I wanted to join the 3D art modeling community. I thought it would be fine because it has been easier to challange my fears and delusions after I got medicine, but I still feel this occassionally. Though not as often.
I still think its hard to also write to people for a prolonged time without getting paranoid and more hints, so I apologize if I suddenly stop replying here as well.. I dont mean harm.
I had this too on my Instagram I thought celebrities were colluding together to send me secret messages because they were in a cult and were doing fair game against me which is how scientologists attack people they don’t approve of. I would get lost daily in this train of thought deciphering messages. Eventually the voices took over more than the social media so I stopped paying attention and now I have mild voices.
Not in here but on lower dose I was paranoid of friends, thought they are talking badly about me. I lost one of them due to my paranoia and I blocked the others. Thankfully its not affecting my family.
