    Undiagnosed First Post - First Major Trauma, seeking support/guidance on how to cope

    You're definitely on the right track. I just started this tonight. Sounds funny, but if you look up c***** childhood very on YouTube, she has the same symptoms and explains that very, very well that helps to relate. They're a lot of people that understand on this site, but it's, it's almost...

    ED Anxiety treatment is not working

    ...I was very underweight at the time and eating 1200-1500 calories a day) I started getting increasingly prevalent thoughts (or anxiety and paranoia) about calories. It got to the point in which eating anything would induce a massive panic attack and I wouldn't eat anything that had to be...

    Childhood I think I might have been sexually abused as a kid

    ...will listen about this.. and if you can't do that, reach outside to find help with how to deal with it...a school counselor perhaps? this paranoia likely won't go away on its own whilst you're still at home... and clearly it's not all in your head. Changes need to be made so you can feel safe...

    Feeling Lost and Hopeless: What Can I Do?

    ...dealing with anyone or going anywhere I wasn't comfortable. I wouldn't think twice. Sorry @Hulda I cross-posted. I agree, where does paranoia start? Every person can feel suspicion and then.. obviously it crosses (a big) line. However, I think we are talking about 2 different animals. For...

    Other Do you worry it might be more than CPTSD?

    ...(And I was dxed with SZPD and not schizophrenia or schizotypal because my psychotic features are relative to stressors/trauma, and I lack paranoia or "magical thinking" or verbal incoherency/word salad etc, otherwise. It happens during psychosis, but those are time-limited events that tend to...

    General Rant and complain thread open to all supporters

    So much of what u write resonates so much with me. He's so cruel when he's in an episode. And I'm his enemy. His paranoia is off the charts tonight. I'm trying to kill him with rat poison, I'm lying to him all the time, I'm not who I say I am, etc. 20+ years with him. Supporting his ptsd for...

    Sexual Trauma from Childhood: Is it PTSD or Paranoia?

    I enjoy sex (I get aroused and stuff). I'm not out weekends chasing tail though. I have some bad views on sex... plus bad relationships sealed the deal for me (blackmailed sex, sex with strings attached, as a weapon). That's not including when I do have sex, it's not as pleasurable for me as...

I really want to believe it was paranoia due to the nature of my "trauma" and that I misheard that. I say "trauma" because I'm aware people have gone thru way worse situations, and my...

    Sexual Trauma from Childhood: Is it PTSD or Paranoia?

    I'm going to try my "team" again. Its probably me wanting to get right to the trauma bits or whatever and not do a proper process. We were working on boundaries and stuff... but I got impatient all I could think was seeing red. I think I just want someone to be like "That's messed up." and just...

    Sufferer hey, i'm recovering from two decades of CSA and it's been wild

    ...a while, and then suddenly i broke. the burnout has been unreal. the flashbacks have been unreal, the dissociation, the fibromyalgia, the paranoia, the hormonal changes. i have so many symptoms and conditions it can sound ridiculous sometimes, but it's true, and honestly it makes sense. my...

    Does sertaline and weed mix well?

    <cough> Depending on one’s unique neurochemistry. I can’t use high CBD anything, because it not only makes me high as f*ck, and paranoid bordering on delusional psychosis, eyeballs deep in panic attacks… but it actually lowers my pain threshold, so I’m in even more pain than I was previously...

    Does sertaline and weed mix well?

    ...doctor. Check out CBD too. It has calming properties that for me offer more help with day to day PTSD symptoms than THC. THC can cause paranoia and that does not go well with anything PTSD. In the original plant CBD and THC are in balance. That meant there was as much Psychotic (THC) as...

    Feeling Lost and Hopeless: What Can I Do?

    Oh my! I have nothing to say ..a hit man… I think that explains a lot. How far you have come. This is not a relationship problem. Anyone would be dealing with these issues in depth for a long time. I am sure you in yourself have more answers than questions. A big hug and decision making skills...

    Abusive past therapist

    ...The mantra on this forum is take what’s helpful, leave the rest. Feel free to ignore all my advice. That’s totally okay with me. Paranoia and delusion are like cognitive distortions: they’re very hard to spot yourself, until someone teaches you how to spot them. You can get treatment for...

    Hypervigilance/paranoia?

    ...I can't shake the idea. Even when he's sleeping, I'll hear noises and my heart rate gets super fast and I can barely calm it. I wonder if this is this some kind of paranoia thats irrational, or an obsession of some kind. I have no idea how to help it or these thoughts- they feel intrusive...

    ...memory of it, and the fact that it might not be the only possible interpretation of an event.

    Anyone here who suspects a genetic aspect to their anxiety?

    So I agree with that 100%! My Father was very panic ridden and had a mental condition that was causing a lot of paranoia and anxiety. His Mother had the same anxiety, her sister, my fathers aunts, uncles had all had anxiety issues. So I absolutely agree that genetics has a role it plays in this...

    People scare me so much that I shake when they are near

    ...handling my aloneness vs interaction. I realize being alone for too long without interaction puts me in a bad headspace where negativity and paranoia creep in. When I do check-in with other humans, often I walk away feeling appreciative for the interaction. A lot of my situation is that I...

    Relationship New to the forum. Looking for advice for supporting my partner

    ...In a romantic relationship. Traumatized KIDS I suck it up. Not being me. Not being real. Just being a safeish target for their anger. And paranoia. And mixing up past/present until there’s no distinction between the two. Traumatized adults can go f*ck themselves. Or someone else. Shrug...
