In Winston's situation, even the thoughts are monitored by the government. And when winston commits the thought crime, he fears immediately that the thought police will rush in and arrest him for commiting such a crime. However, they do not come 'yet' and he is called to his neighbor to help her out with some chores. The neighbor's children were junior spies, however, and they consistently accuse him of a thought crime. He is continuously tormented by these children. Winston returns to his house and commits another thought crime and goes to sleep. Waking up the next day, Winston is soaked with nostalgia, thinking of his days with his mother.
Imagine a world where nobody can be trusted. Even your neighbors who you are helping are accusing you of crimes and even the single wrong movement is called out by the system. This will torment the people enough, leading to suicide.
