I Feel Like I'm Being Watched and Followed
I feel like I'm constantly being watched and followed. Is this normal? I can't sleep from it.
Sometimes people can have thoughts and worries that are not connected to the reality of the situation they are in. If you feel you are constantly being watched and followed, especially since it is starting to impact your life in terms of not being able to sleep, TeenHealthFX recommends that you speak to a trusted adult about it so that a consultation can be scheduled with a reputable mental health professional, such as a clinical social worker, clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. By meeting with a reputable mental health professional you can get an accurate diagnosis, as well as speak with someone about treatment options that will help alleviate these worries so you can be less preoccupied with these thoughts and sleep better at night.
