Hey there. I can relate to what you're going through, I don't have a diagnosis but the psychiatrist i've been seeing recently started mentioning delusional or paranoid thoughts. Mainly about people in public staring at me and talking about me.
I don't know exactly what would help as I haven't reached that stage myself yet, but I think that it is a good thing that you recognise these thoughts as not being normal. Many people that suffer from schitzophrenia or schitzophreniform disorders can't recognise that their paranoid ideation is just that. That is to say, they cannot realise that these thoughts about other people wanting to harm or talk about them are not true.
Sorry if this made no sense. I'm on my 5th drink. I'm drinking alone but it's boxing day so.. maybe that's a good excuse or..
