This would be "paranoia" which can be "good" (e.g. this person worships me) or "bad" (e.g. this person wants to kill me), so;
Schizophrenia Spectrum; Mostly the "bad" kind. Could be specifically "paranoid schizophrenia" though not necessarily.
Personality Disorders: A range of PD's can include these thoughts. A Histrionic PD will tend to have "good" whilst a Borderline PD may have either and a Paranoid PD would have mostly bad.
Bipolar Disorders: "Good" during mania, "bad" during a depressive.PTSD Disorders: "Bad".
Depression & Anxiety Disorders: "Bad".
I say "bad" and "good" loosely - No amount of delusional or paranoid thinking is good, but these thoughts can revolve around many different things, either based in reality or not.
