I had a long post written and I deleted it.
How do you deal with paranoia? I go through periods when I feel like the whole world is out to get me. I mistrust everything/everyone to the extreme.
I don't know how to fix this. It's intertwined with my trust issues. On a basic level the mistrust is always there. When it spikes it goes into paranoia territory.
People understand mistrust (somewhat) even though it frustrates them. When things jump to paranoid territory you're crazy as a loon and should be locked up/drugged up. People can see the paranoid thoughts/behavior but never have I ever told anyone that I'm paranoid. I don't think I could handle A) the shame or B) their reaction.
I'll post now before I chicken out.
