That has happened to me. Lack of sleep can bring it on for me. I used to smoke alot of cocaine, and heard that it can cause perminant paranoia. Do you have a history or are you behind on sleep?

I have never used cocaine, crack, meth or any type of speed. The sleep thing has ALWAYS been an issue though. I did finally get about 4-5 hours last night. I looked out of the blinds this morning at 6am & that van was parked there. It is really there, but I just don't understand what the guy is doing. It doesn't have a company name or anything on it.

If I were a normal rational person, what would they do? I hate being so paranoid!

Have the police investigate a mysterious vehicle parked across the street from your house. you never know.

I agree with bryguy, you should have the police invetigate it.

Thanks, I hate that I'm always second guessing myself. I feel threatened, but then second guess that because I'm just "crazy" supposedly. I never know if my feelings are valid anymore...

I agree with the others, call the police and get them to ck it out.

Get the plate number and report it. Keep a good eye on your child too!

Okay, I called & the van is at the park across the street right now. It doesn't seem to make sense that this guy would just sit there like that for hours on end & there is a park right there with lots of small children. I may be mentally ill, but that is just plain creepy!

Good idea basket. I didn't know there was a park there. he could be there for all kinds of reasons maybe not even related at all to you. Glad you called.

Just from what you have said......you have seen it many times, a man just sitting in it, he looked at you when you came out........I would call the police. I am not a paranoid person, but you have a daughter to be concerned for. It cant hurt to call the police the next time you see him there and tell them you have notice this van several times and it is making you uncomfortable. Usually the police with come and ask him what he is doing in the neighborhood. It is worth your peace of mind and your safety. If the police question him, he may not return or he may have a legitimate reason for being there. Be safe at all costs. Hugs

you need to call the police asap. don't hesitate about this.

Good choice honey. Stop second guessing yourself. It doesnt matter if you are paranoid or not. With anything like that, you have the right to be safe and feel comfortable with circumstances around you. The safety of you and your child always come first. Hugs

You can call the police, but not only will they know your name and address they might want to speak to you. If you refuse or act all weird they may want to institutionalize you. It's your paranoia taking total hold on you.

The man probably stared back at you because you were staring at him, watching for him to stare at you.

I did all those drugs people are talking about, I also did a whole lot of dealing. I have had police park in front of my house, down the street, drive by and put a spotlight on me and have the helicopter swoop on me with a spotlight while I was frying my brains out sitting on my driveway at 3AM.

Then I have been arrested too. In the old days police would have certain license plates, unless they were feds. You can also spot a police when he introduces himself to you by the clearness of his eyes. They aren't troubled from drug and alcohol use.

Stay away from the van and the house the van goes to and relax. No one wants you for anything, unless you are a hidden millionaire? Or are dealing, stealing or commiting other crimes.

You should definitaly have someone check it out. Parinoid or not, better safe then sorry, especially where you have a little girl.
