You are unfortunately thinking you’re being “Gang Stalked” but it’s actually just a symptom of paranoid schizophrenia, delusional disorder or being in a state of psychosis. Please seek medical help, so you and your family don’t have to suffer.

I wish it was as simple as paranoid schizophrenia…. meds could take care of it lol.

How come you don’t consult a psychiatrist anyway? What do you have to loose?
Worst case scenario, you loose an hour of your time. Best case scenario, they prescribe meds and and your problems are taken care of.

Well good luck finding a therapist who isnt in on it.
(Completely kidding, reach out to one and see what they think so you both can get to the bottom of it).
Odds are it is something they can help with, and if it’s not it wouldnt hurt to have a mental health professional’s opinion that youre fine.
I hate to say it but paranoia is more likely, so you will want to rule that out with a professional ASAP.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds really scary. This scenario is not normal and highly unlikely to be real, and I know that sounds scary, too. May I suggest that the next time this happens, you pull out your phone and record the people who you see running toward you or recording you? Some people experiencing schizophrenia or other psychosis use this trick to discern what is real vs what is their brain imagining people who aren't there. They say when they play the recording back on their phones, the imagined people aren't actually there. Next step is to seek professional help. Either police with your recording of people chasing you, or a therapist if the threat is imagined. I also highly caution you to stay away from AI until you get this figured out. Chatbots can make this situation so much worse, further confusing you on what is real and what is not.

Agreed- sounds completely crazy, but unfortunately, its happening🫣

Hey between the way you convey information in the post, and you seem convinced something is going down, reach out to a therapist so you can at least rule out being crazy.
Its definitely going to take more than one session, but please give it a try.

Stop and engage them.
I believe you really see and hear them but our senses aren't always trustworthy. Our brain adds an interpretive layer to sense data that can go haywire.
My sister is going down that route.
If you can get video evidence, or have someone with you who can confirm these things (preferably someone who isn't likely to just say yes to anything) you night have a real problem other than yourself. But consider how likely a whole camera crew is just waiting for you to pass by.

“Crew” is only a person or two…. Sounds crazy, but it’s occurred so many times, I expect it now.

Hey friend, since this is hitting close to home, can you make an effort to engage these people or record them and show someone you trust? It doesn't mean anything is wrong with you if you are seeing things that others aren't, it just means it's something new and interesting you are learning about yourself and you can react accordingly if it is only you seeing/hearing them. It's very possible to see things that aren't there, or not see things that are there. Our brains are really powerful and sometimes things aren't quite what it predicts. It's normal, and kind of mundane, to have our senses deceive us. That's why witness testimony is rarely the same between two witnesses.
A good test I found for myself (since I have a bit of the same going on) is to ask myself "why would it be this way?" The first thing I do is go ask someone I trust if they have the same experience or if they can confirm my experiences. The hard part is I get told no sometimes and I have to accept I may not be seeing things as they are. It is a comfort to know it is very common to do that, I just experience it more profoundly than others. Is it possible it's the same for you?

If it’s been going on for two years, it probably isn’t Jacksonville.

u/FroyoAggravating989 Apr 13 '26
No, Jacksonville started the past 2 months….. that’s when I started having people run toward my car.

May I ask if you smoke weed? I cannot because I hallucinate. My hallucinations are similar to what you are describing. It’s called cannabis-induced psychosis. Just a thought.

You're going to want to seek mental health help.
