>So far as I know ocd and paranoia are separate things. You seem to describe both: the obsessive concern about your stove being on/off and your paranoia about
being surveilled and observed. I have had bouts of the former, but my primary concern is the latter-- I know that feeling. I don't know what the medical
perspective is, but I am taking Risperdal 2.5mg/day to help me with such problems. I've only taken it for one month now, so can't say how well it's working.
Perhaps someone else can suggest other medications and treatment options. I know how debilitating these worries are, I'd suggest that you get help if you aren't already.
Good luck.
