A childhood belief about being watched

I used to believe everyone in this world would watch me, all the time. I was the only one being watched but their could be a few others out there. I believe that my thoughts could also be heard via television and radio, so whenever live media was on I would enter an insane mode where I communicated with them to the point they made me laugh in a personal way, sometimes today I cant sit through the news without smiling my head off, although I know it's all bullshit. I believed this shit for like... 1 year, from 17 to 18, a year of constant belief caused me to break down and nearly go insane. These psychotic thoughts nearly drove me to my end, I wisend up, please believers, stop believing. Also, if your paranoid a little, don't smoke weed. It didn't help matter much, also dont hang around with psychotic people. To this day I am still battling these thoughts, after all... how will we ever know? All I do know is that believing purely all day long for a long period of time will send you nuts, don't do it. Peace... let me restate PEACE.
