Hi, I just joined this group because I need help. I’ve been having this vv strong feeling I am being watched. I am a 17 y/o female, and I live with my family. I don’t necessarily live in a neighborhood, but there are houses around me. One day, it was warm in my room, so I opened my window (it was around 10:30-ish) and I was just on my bed scrolling through instagram. We have two basset hounds that we keep outside at night, and they are kinda beside my window. Well, I heard a man outside my window hitting the cage and mumbling something. My mom started looking out of my window, but seen no one than my step-father walked around the house to find no one... Since then, the feeling of me being watched has been stronger than ever. I’m scared to leave my room/house at night. I have dark blankets over my windows to make sure no one can see in and i cannot see out. I just know, deep down, that I’m not just imagining this. I don’t want to think I’m crazy, but the feeling is just so overwhelming that my anxiety starts acting up. I am moving out soon, and I don’t know if I can because of this feeling... Can someone please give me advice on what to do?

(P.S. My parents do not want cameras around/on the property... why? I do not know..)
