i know many things i do are because of ocd, though certain things, im not so sure... two that bother me quite a bit:

1. paranoia. example: i wont say something controversial or private out loud in case there are cameras hidden in a room.

2. seeing things: for the past few months i have been seeing things. illl be sitting and looking in one direction and then think i see my cat or a bug scurry in my peripheral vision. this has been happening more and more.

is it nothing? is it from ocd? is it something else?

This is something I've read about in relation to people with schizophrenia...however, it's hard to be certain these days.

I mean, years ago there weren't mobile phones (that can record movies), no small discreet mp3 players (that can record sound) and there was certainly no You Tube (or indeed, an internet) to put it up on.

Now that all those things exist I don't think it can just be considered "paranoia" to think we may be being recorded...I mean, it's now "probably very possible" that we are!

If that's made you feel worse, it wasn't meant to! I'm just thinking out loud.

Would it matter if there were cameras? I mean it bothers me I am recorded in every retail store and driving down streets. Like my privacy is invaded. But on the other hand I'd want cameras if I had a retail store ect.. so I understand. I wouldn't want cameras in bathrooms, just private.

If in your home you could be a bit overboard unless you live with people that are into cameras and stuff?

The stuff in the vision, can you make out what it is. If yes might be a problem. If no could be floaters in the eyes. It's an eye thing that happens to people as they get around 30+. Some see flashes of light too around the out sides. Nothing you can do about it your optic nerve is detecting something while it isn't there the signal to the nerve is. So its a normal thing. However if you can make out objects that is another story.
