| I struggle with paranoia daily. I try to explain it but people really dont get it. It causes me to feel on edge and scared. People tell me I just need to exercise or distract myself. The thing is, my paranoia prevents me from doing those things currently. It's really bad. People seem to think I'm ex... |

| Could you maybe explain it to them when it's not occurring? They have to be made to understand that it's not voluntary and that you're literally unable to form words because you're overwhelmed. They might not get it at first but if you're consistent in how you explain it they might slowly absorb th... |

| I keep not being able to talk. It annoys people around me. They act like I'm being rude but they dont understand that its not my choice. I just get so overwhelmed. |

| I tried to have a job once. It went wrong. I had meltdowns at work. I burst into tears twice. I was hard to train. I had to quit due to mental health issues. I couldnt go to work with all my paranoia. I also wasnt taking meds at the time. Everyone else I know seems to have a job and they do their jo... |

| I think people can hear my conversations. I feel so awful. A dream told me things I hope will never be true. My dreams are scary. Everything is a bit scary. I cant do much lately. I slept in my clothes the other night. I only use mouthwash for my teeth lately. The bristles in my brush feel awful lat... |

I'm having a bad day. Someone called me crazy as an insult. It made me cry afterwards.
I just feel so insecure all the time. I know I'm different and sometimes its rough to deal with. |

I feel like people are arguing about me. I'm on high alert. I want to try reading again but now I dont know if I will manage, ... |

But I think they know something is up. I hate this feeling, like I have something wrong with me and that my diagnoses ma... |

| Maybe you have. Reality is but a fleeting illusion. One minute you're here, the next you're not. With Billions of years in between. You see things other people don't see, it must be disconcerting. I suppose you just want a boring and stable existence like most people have. Or atleast feel more in c... |

I'm stuck in so many places. Each day and place has a different vibe depending on my view of the world that... |

| I'm having bad anxiety at the moment. It's been lasting a few days. I had to quit my medication for intrusive thoughts and anxiety because it caused me to throw up a lot. I keep thinking I'm an awful person. I feel too self conscious to do any of my coping methods. I'm feeling rough. Someone made me... |
