    ...and highly invasive and life changing / debilitating surgery and family (siblings) who abandoned him (us) in all of this. MNM: when you say next to impossible are you talking about treatment or saying that paranoia / conspiracy theories / hypervigilance aren’t connected ? **Connected to PTSD….

    ...was definite. Ironically I don't like the name Pru. (God i feel crazy saying all this). Pru basically holds somatic sensations of fear and paranoia and the narrative that something bad is going to happen AND that I myself am bad. Then I recognised 2 other states which I have no name for. But...

    ...neglect and abuse in her childhood. I have always stood by her. Always listened. Always helped her with her anger, fear, mistrust, anxiety, paranoia and confusion. I love her so have accepted that she will turn into a monster every few weeks. Most recently I hugged her as she was starting to...

    Possible but not likely

    The way I'm learning to reduce the hypervigilence and assumption something traumatic will happen again is moving from seeing myself as a victim to seeing myself as a regular person. Don't know if that reasonates for you. But realising that I am not innately vulnerable and therefore it being a...

    medical marijuana?

    ...means getting less "stoned" and feeling less paranoid when using. Balanced products, equal amounts of THC and CBD are a great way to avoid paranoia. As for THC - it's as needed, so sometimes regularly, sometimes not for a week or more. It's mostly a sleep aid for me. I like being...

    Relationship Fiancé with CPTSD

    Hi @Nagarjuna I just joined the group and made a similar post today. How are things going with therapy? I am considering that too as feeling at a crossroads. My spouse is pushing me to fight for our relationship but those triggers are sometimes so overwhelming for me to experience second-hand as...

    ...co-sign bullshit. - Arguing / Getting emotionally invested in an argument with someone half outta their mind (panic attacks, flashbacks, paranoia, dysreg, sleep dep, list goes on) is like arguing with a child, or a piece of furniture. We all do it from time to time, but it’s usually...

    I don' know what is real

    ...related to the reality from a young age. So I have built in confusion in my mind and body. But something not feeling real could also come from a place of paranoia? And might also not be real. When you have these feelings before, how do you unpick them? Would that process work for this...

    Paranoia - Unable to confront family and friends

    ...little accuracy to be found when referring to "people" as though they're a homogeneous mass - because they aren't. That does sound like paranoia, and is definitely worth raising with your pdoc in the new year. Yep. And most often it goes pear-shaped. Because either: (1) they aren't out to...

    Abusive past therapist

    I KNEW IT. I KNEW you would respond like that! In this reply, Sideways completely and totally ignored what happened to me at the treatment center. I was suspicious of this person from the moment they denied the phone call being related to abuse. This person was a pro-therapist this whole time...

    Recurring Paranoia

    I have been doing better with recovery- have not attempted in nearly two years, I still self harm but not nearly as often. I’ve done EMDR, DBT, CBT therapies to help process these emotions and to minimize flashbacks. A while ago (about a year and a half now) he was released from prison way too...

    Recurring Paranoia

    Sorry. I do not know how to help. But wanted to say that I have experienced recurring paranoia. We are challenging the thoughts and it's taking a while intherapy but I already see improvement. CBT works for me.

    ...hard as I took some of the things I now know are a result of this illness personally. At some point I realized that it is not me...that her paranoia about infidelity, her need for constant reassurance, and such was not a dig at my character, but a result of her own trauma. So I don't react...

    Can any of you recommend some tips for a recent supporter. My husband is a survivor of a plane crash and his PTSD has just kicked in. Conspiracy theories and paranoia to name a few. How did you get through this initial onset?

    Top tip: make sure he gets professional help. Don't be the only one holding hope for his return. Paranoia and conspiracy theories are, in my experience, next to impossible. If you can support him and be his bff through this, let someone else be the bad guy. Tread very carefully - oh, and get a...
