Thx! She has paranoia, believes everyone is an enemy! Bit I promised to come.. Are there big grocery stores nearby? Do you walk or drive?

...I had an episode recently where my gut feeling told me to run away, that there were too many red flags. And I ended up brushing it off as paranoia. The person involved shared a lot of personality traits with a former abuser of mine, and I found out they were a narc the hard way, and by then...

...There's the risks to you personally of engaging in "safety behaviours" which don't actually make you any safer. We know that this feeds paranoia, anxiety-driven states like OCD, along with generalised anxiety. Short version: those safety behaviours actually make us sick (shit!!). I think...

I've often considered that self-blame, in many cases of abuse, serves an evolutionary purpose to preserve one's belief that the world has meaning and to exercise as much control over the situation as one could feasibly have. I was forced into committing acts of and I was not able to resist...

...inside which I had been feeling since I was very young . I struggle with a sense of self and of identity and shame and social anxiety even paranoia which can get quite bad at times. To the point I lost a really good trauma therapist a few months ago and I kept seeing invalidation and that...

Hi @deterioratingrose, welcome to the site. Sorry your having such a bad time. It sounds like your suffering from some cognitive distortions and paranoia. Have you tried talking to A doctor about how you feel? It really sounds like you need help. Sorry for what you've been through.

...of us. The terminology simply didn’t exist. I also wound up misdiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and then schizoaffective bipolar with paranoia. I lost 14 years of my life to multiple yearly hospitalizations and aggressive overmedication which made my comorbid ADHD (which is real) much worse...

I was reading this and I thought I had written this and forgotten if written it because it sounded exactly like my internal monologue. Everything you have said is exactly the same for me. THC is for sleep. Focusing. I really thought I was the only person out there that believed this. I needed...

...the source of data, before media (and conspiracy theorists) get a chance to put their spin on it. ATAGI is releasing data on illness rates (and severity), including in schools, on a very regular basis. See, from November, their information here. 'Mainstream Media' hype and paranoia need not...

...sobriety because the alcohol had ceased to be affective. The adrenaline that the hypervigilence produces recycles itself back to the source. Paranoia sets in. I find myself in the hole, gaining exhaustion from attempts of clawing myself out as the symptoms amplify. Things get blurry...

So I smoked some weed and I don’t know what happened but a wave of depression and paranoia hit me like a truck and I still feel the same way it’s been nearly two years. I just don’t feel normal, my life has changed so much and I want to go back. I’m not diagnosed but I assume it is PTSD. I don’t...

I often am not sure if I have paranoia or not. The best example I can give of thinking I might have paranoia is my husband. That man loves me. In the rare instances that he really has been short-tempered with me, I have rampantly verbally attacked him explaining how his behavior was completely...

As winter nears and December draws closer there is always a sense of dread as the trauma anniversary falls into place for what will now be six years ago. God, it feels like yesterday still, but not the point. This is the first year my abuser will have been out of jail, he got out about five...

...something that love on its own can win. I did love my ex so much I cry every time I think of it. And I do know he loved me too. But the paranoia of cheating really has a way to rot everything that it touches. Please be careful and care for yourself too. I don't mean to come accross as harsh...

...time Agoraphobia management - ability to go places alone/with Significant Other, take trash out, sit on our patio, go on walks, etc. without paranoia/anxiety Ability to enjoy personal accomplishments Desensitization to triggers Better psychological flexibility Ability to redirect body focused...

Hello, and welcome. PTSD has a plethora of symptoms that we all deal with. I can relate to most of yours. I also lie to my co-workers and isolate as much as possible. I am in charge at work (I'm a civilian) and often feel inadequate, even though others tell me I am doing a great job. I just took...

...listening. But I don’t want to end up like Ophelia: too much of water hast thou. Ediit: he’s 35, but he’s had a storied history of extreme paranoia going back to maybe 25ish, and his delusions when we moved were when he was… 32? (He thought I was surreptitiously buying cocaine hidden in the...

He actually has tracked me via my phone (I think?) and stalked me to locations where he had no reason to know I would be. I live in a big city, it's not a coincidence. That's not paranoia, that's happened repeatedly.

...way I could regulate that tension. It kept me sane to be honest. It's okay not to want to be around other people and just do your own thing. People can be really draining and I understand that feeling of anxiety creeping into paranoia. Maybe you can do some sort of exercise when you feel like...

I've got terrible paranoia. I think it's stress. It's awful.

...mention it and said Thursday. So I am under the impression she really meant Thursday but being so weird I feel like more is going on. Hello paranoia like feeling. How you been? Just wondering any sense from other humans. Has a T never just no show and no mention or is this a first? edit -...

...alright ( have a hard time in those places). Just one example. I did develop true hallucinations And delusions over a period of time with paranoia etc. Hallucinations are also not uncommon dissociative disorders and ptsd. I believe if I had gotten help then, my symptoms would never have...

...sense. I was just going over some details on Mental Health America's website, however, and what it said about the outward manifestations of paranoia fit me perfectly. I often make the excuse that being a persecuted minority (cleft-affected) has given me a history of shit and that my feelings...

Hi @StartingFire, welcome to the site. Don't let paranoia get in the way of your life. I think it's pretty far fetched that your ex can track you or infiltrate your devices. Keep going with the therapy because it sounds like you need it. Good luck! S3 🙂

...My husband called and inquired why the book and the man said that it was all he had to put the money in and leave it. I decided to put my paranoia skills to work and started researching this guys background - I needed to know what he was really arrested for and went to prison for. I found...
