Extreme Interference Paranoia?

I am 33 and have suffered from he same sort of 'thing'. Not exactly a hallucination but something else. Like having an imagination so vivid that it crosses over into reality. I only know how to describe it as being haunted. I felt followed and watched by some unseen force. And with it came a sense of doom and an odd anticipation. Now that I am older I understand it for what it is. Anxiety induced psychotic episodes. Knowing what it is doesn't make it any less intense. Usually when I have an episode, I stop to yze the stress-er that started it and then force the monsters to back off. I have various ways of doing this, but Im not sure how to explain it. Sometimes it becomes exhausting battling your own psyche. You might talk to your doc about anxiety meds. When it gets to difficult to fight with the psychosis that torments me I take half a mg of xanex. This is a good drug for occasional use, but only when you absolutely need it. I know how big it can seem sometimes, but it can be managed.
