...when he does not take it, he can barely get out of bed. Extremely apathetically depressed. I don’t know which is worse- the apathy or the crazy paranoia?! He’s never been violent towards me- just punches cars/ walls, etc. but also will leave the house for hours and not answer his phone so I...

...few months I think about it and get angry all over again. All my family tell me "Move on and let go" I'm wondering if I am behaving in paranoia or maybe it might be PTSD... I'm just curious if this is common... or I'm just batshit off base. I've talked to a therapist I'm not a good...

...feel natural or easy at first but scripts help. when i'm not triggered i will write a script for myself for when i do get flashbacks, or for paranoia or certain core beliefs/cognitive distortions that turn into ruminating thoughts. i journal it out sometimes, too. i do more of that lately. go...

...would at any point make me cut off ties with them too if he feels threatened by them in some way. (I think he has an underlying trigger/paranoia of people wanting to take me away from him) My husband knows he needs help. He has been diagnosed with PTSD, BPD, Bipolar, and anxiety. From what I...

I just happened to stumble across this thread and it hit me like a truck. I've felt the same way years. I just didn't realize it until I was much older. I always thought something was wrong with me the entire time but that's not the case. You hit the nail on he head about salvaging the good...

Paranoia can be part of ptsd. Only a professional can tell you if you have PTSD but you could still try dealing with what's bothering you.

You sound like my kid. You figure a workaround? Lemme know!!! Right now the best thing I can offer HIM are polySci classes, and biographies/autobiographies of some of the world’s best players (of the past 2500 years) so he gets the political operator thing to balance out an awareness of the...

Ditto others… NO IDEA… what’s going on with you. It could be any of 2 dozen things… not just the 2; PTSD or Paranoia. As many people with PTSD adore sex, and/or find it grounding, as those who don’t, or find it difficult, or use it as a coping mechanism, or way to act out, or there’s no...

hello @someoneconfused . welcome to the forum. sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here. on my strictly personal psych chart, paranoia is a pronounced symptom of my ptsd. it is attached to my "hypervigilance" which has me forever on guard for random dangers in the world. when my...

...is very self-centric. Others can be thinking a million things unrelated to us. Yes, we bring our shame, our fears, our self-recriminations, paranoia and doubt. We are wounded and not always easy to deal with. He could very well be angry too at the system that doesn't fully facilitate the...

She announced on social media she was going to AZ with her new husband to visit someone, 2 weeks after that She was sitting outside my house, yes. She is very controlling and has enabled all the abuse in the family since my childhood. I am invalidated, gaslighted, abused, or ignored most of the...

...me. I have been brave and courageous and so have you. You have survived. You have made appropriate changes and crossed many hurdles. Just like I had to ask myself. Is the root of this paranoia in me towards me or is it truly out there?Honesty is hard. Hoping this is clear. It is my healing...

I was thinking about this conversation with and outside family. PTSD paranoia is an issue I will occasionally experience. I have found that since I went on anti anxiety medication and anti depressants this type of lie or hyper vigilance is less of a problem and it does not happen as much. I now...

I think its dealing with emotional stuff and I really don't trust the government. My hypervigilance manifests in political interest. Plus paranoia and high iq. I was a mechanic 63S in the military even though I score a 99 on the asvab with a 130ish gt, I've always liked semis, growing up on the...

...me 😕 I still find it so difficult to wrap fully Then the police incident as far as I know was just a mistake. (Hi suspicions and possibly paranoia that they planned it) anyway The one female detective …was soooooooooo mean to me. I was appalled actually. Rubbed my eyes to see if it was...

...with an intensity approximately equal to the intensity of remembering a movie i watched as a child, heavily mixed with the nightmares, paranoia, etc., i experienced while repressing. decades later, i still don't fully trust my childhood memories, but am still following the lead of the...

Yeah, fight or flight happens for me too. I'm very avoidant and very independent from others. That's interesting, because my reflexes are hypervigilant. You hit a nerve and my limb goes flying. I mean yeah, places like bars or where groups of guys that bully I avoid... I am very in tune with...

...the way and be patient with yourself as you work through your healing. I hear your concerns about triggers and a constant sense of fear and paranoia. It's crucial to remember that a sense of safety is a fundamental need after a traumatic event. If you haven't already, I encourage you to seek...

...emotional and physical abuse. We believed lies. It is a process to get to the truth about yourself and build that truth into healing so the paranoia is dealt with. For me it was in facing the truth that brought healing and confidence and I no longer had those thoughts. They were part of the...

...you throw a tantrum, you don’t get what you want, AND you go on timeout // IE Not encouraging my own crazy - Limiting WHEN I am allowed to paranoia check (in person, by proxy, or at a distance) to when I’m absolutely calm. Truly calm. Panic subsided. Anxiety subsided. Paranoia subsided...

It makes me very flat, highly dissociative, and when it wears off I’m 90% rage and 10% paranoia for 15-72 hours. No bueno.

I can't say whether it's PTSD (no one on here can) or paranoia, but I can say it is super common for memories to suddenly pop back into your life. And it all be very confusing about whether it's a memory or what is it. And it's very unsettling. And you question and doubt yourself, and reality...

...been scared of cancer in the back of my mind, seeing my grandparent (and beloved pets) fall so ill. But I've recently reached a level of paranoia I haven't reached before in the past with this in particular. It started a few months ago - my partner showed me a movie called The Last Song...
