...vigilance is sustained for too long a period, it develops into a psychosis such as you see in animal rescues where the animal will attack its rescuers as readily as it attacked the clear and present danger. it easily escalates to thoroughly counter-productive extremes. paranoia strikes deep.

Hypervigilance vs Paranoia: How to Recognize the Differences? - A Mission For Michael goes into them pretty well I daresay.

That speaks of stupidity / willful ignorance to me… as. they. have. already. betrayed. you. Paranoia is phony, fake, irrational. Hypervig is ascribing consequences to total bullshit. Both are mental. Read crazy. VIGILANCE = Useful Hypervig = Crazy Paranoia = Extra crazy.

Just wondering what the difference between paranioa and hypervigilence is from a sufferer experience point of view? Can ptsd cause paranioa or hyoervigilence cause paranioa or anxiety cause paranoia? What's the difference?

...hydrochloride for. It's a antihistamine that makes you drowsy so helps alot. Takes about 2 hours to work. I used to get terrible paranoia/hyper vigilance. But it's a lot less now. I keep busy. If your busy then your focused and not ruminating or worrying about shit. I have 2 music lessons a...

to my senses, one is cause, the other is effect. my ptsd causes hypervigilence, which causes anxiety and paranoia. just sensing. . . bigger fact is that this would be the first time i have pondered the distinction. i might think something different after i have thunkered the question a spell...

...is a veteran, and our relationship has always had a few issues, mostly stemming around drinking causing some angry outbursts and late night paranoia. The last year, his mental health has declined significantly, leading him to conclusions about friends, family, and myself that are very wrong...

...being shouted at, not knowing what is going to happen next. All of it. Have you been able to tell your landlord you are worried about her paranoia and she might need some help? It doesn't sound like a frank conversation with her to try and clear the air is something that is possible if she...

Thanks for replying and I agree with keeping busy, focusing on other things. I guess my issue is I still have the wolf at my door as psych put it. Our justice system is Fu#cked and until we do get justice we are vulnerable to ongoing harassment. Hopefully April we can move on.

“even in safe environments” is the catch point fir deciding paranoia vs hypervigilance? define safe. i drive on roads everyday that are laden with skid marks. intersections have glass crystals on the edges. I see places where people went into and got pulled out of ditches all the time. zero...

...Wow, you've been through an absolute whirlwind, haven't you? Reading your story, I can feel the weight of that slow spiral building up, the paranoia gremlins taking over, and then everything just exploding— the psychosis episode, the road rage blackouts, the motorcycle trip that felt like a...

...I've never done therapy and I don't go to the doctor either really. I have severe social anxiety at this point though and it even veers into paranoia at this point. I think what I experienced there was highly traumatic stress. That's why I froze when asked about my old job and made myself...

...but it's come back now that things have changed. My "parts" had less anxiety and I had ways to keep them busy while I worked without the paranoia of people wondering why I behave the way I do. I'm back to questioning my purpose in life and struggle to find valid answers. I can tell I'm going...

It says on that website that: "In contrast, paranoia manifests through persistent, irrational beliefs that someone or something is actively working against you. This belief can lead to mistrust and suspicion, even in safe environments." What if in the part, someone was actively working...

...probably where this came from. Ended up having psychotic symptoms which were resolved with antipsychotics but I still feel the residual paranoia, the thought broadcasting/feeling of being watched, lurking in my brain. I really don't want people to see me differently because, sometimes...

Exactly how I feel, define safe? If they were not safe to me, then it isn't paranioa, if its awareness of muliple accidents on the same road, then it isn't paranioa. Maybe confirmation bias, as we are so aware that we look for it and it happens, we confirm it in our mind, then the issue of...

...you go more into depth about what you went through I think am in a similair condition to you currently but am alot younger (21) with alot of paranoia and alot of transfered anger and rage from my childhood that I take out on people around me and just a couple days ago got into the whole...

...me. I can't help but interfere in other people's lives. I know this and there are two reasons. One is horrific loneliness and the other is paranoia. I've been lied to, betrayed, backstabbed, cheated and ignored all my damn life. I've tried to warn people of issues and been told to "go forth...

The gist I get is that a key component of paranoia is that it's irrational and that it involves a current threat; whereas hypervigilance is based in some way upon prior experience and is about future (even next-few-seconds future) threats. Personally, I can't abide people being physically...

...My neighbor said my bio mom came to see me to give me mail, but I wasn't home (thankfully). So it's brought up all the feelings of panic and paranoia, and bad memories. I also can't stop messaging him. I know he doesn't give a single f*ck about me but I still talk to him. It's just like...

Thank you for validating me. I was worried that I was being unreasonable. I wrote them an email so hopefully they'll understand. I'm gonna post what I wrote in the email. Can you tell me if I was being rude or anything? I honestly have interacted with this woman twice (the first time she tried...

...every incident: dates, what happened, physical signs on your body (bruises, insertion soreness after years chaste), your actions. This isn't paranoia; it's documentation that builds a case no one can wave off as "personality disorder." Print your medical records highlighting the undiscussed...

...towards the world and general distrust towards humanity. Most interactions I have with others are underscored by this underlying sense of paranoia and I feel like everyone's out to get me unless I actively reassure myself assuming it even Works cause so much of the time it doesn't. Nothing...

I understand I have this as well…the pain feels like it’s going to kill me. I want to live without it and I don’t know how…Exhausting 🙈. Sending solidarity …

proof unavailable, but in my therapy sessions, we credit the auditory hallucinations and paranoia to hyper-vigilance, a common ptsd symptom.
