PARANOIA.....

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone experience this?

How do you deal with it?

I get paranoid quite a lot.
I don't know how to deal with it though.

No, never.... The only people whom I knew who're out to get me are gone....

Your intuition might be picking something up ("deduction" of events happening around you that have deviated from what you deem as the norm).

I'm feeling a bit paranoid about something now...

I do get like this a little bit, but I do just about manage to keep a grip on reality

I know someone who is clinically paranoid and I am nowhere near as bad as that.

I get like that a lo t the time, I am not sure how to deal with it either.

I'm kind of paranoid. I'm mostly afraid of big government.

that really depends on how you would define PARANOIA

I get paranoid that other people are angry at or upset with me, generally over something very small that I did, or for no reason at all. Usually it turns out that the person isn't angry at all, or that they're irritated about something that has nothing to do with me. It's really quite self-centered on my part, I suppose. But then sometimes people really do get angry at me when I don't even see it coming. We still probably should worry about it though, since over half the time a person's anger says a lot more about that person than it does about the person with whom he is angry. Hard to stop caring though.

It's not too bad. Even if this "paranoia" makes me panic inwardly on occasion, I think nobody ever has any idea of what I'm feeling. I think the worst part about it is that it sometimes makes me afraid to go certain places. For example, I might decide not to go on my morning jog because there are some guys talking loudly outside near my home and I would have to cross in front of them in order to leave and they might harass me or come on to me or say something rude to me (in reality they'll probably just smile or even ignore me). So it does kind of stink when unrealistic worries keep me from doing things I like to do.

How do I deal? Sometimes I don't... I just avoid the situation. Most of the time I mask my feelings and pretend I'm not worried/paranoid about anything.

depends what you mean by paranoia.
stress, anxiety, panic-attacks, depression can lead to hallucinations and paranoia.
how to deal with it depends on the situation, really need to be more specific.

i know how bad episodes of psychosis can get, and i know they can get worse than what ive had.
there comes a point where you need medication, if you are not there already.

I get frequent paranoid thoughts, but nothing seriously over the top (paranoid wise).

I get those frequent moments where you just wanna sit in a corner and shut yourself from everything and everyone.

I'm always convinced that people walking behind me and talking are talking and laughing about me. I suppose it might be true on occassion, but it certainly can't always be true. I'm just not that exciting.

I'm generally convinced that people are talking about me, though. Anytime somebody is having a conversation about "she" or a general situation and I'm not included. Again, I'm just not important enough for people to be talking about me that much.

I feel paranoid sometimes. It used to be really bad till they upped my meds.
