I am 21F and diagnosed bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety. I have been suffering from paranoia for a while but my psychiatrist has led me to believe it's normal; I was unable to leave my house for several weeks last year because I was sure strangers could read my mind, and earlier this year I had to move to a new apartment because of a roach infestation which was taken care of months ago but left me hearing and feeling "ghost" roaches at night.

Last night a friend text-messaged me on Discord and I heard her say "hey" even though we were not connected to an audio call. This is not the first time something like this has happened and I will oftentimes hear people calling my name or speaking to me when they are not or when they're not even in the same room as me.

I don't want to overreact because I know everyone gets a little disoriented sometimes and my psych did make it seem like it's nothing to be too concerned about but I am... is it possible these are signs of something worse? I would like to get treatment sooner rather than later but don't want to blow things out of proportion
