    Receiving Gifts & Not Knowing A Person’s Intentions

    Relate to all of these. I've noticed areas in my life where someone was genuinely giving from a pure place and I projected my paranoia onto it and I see how that can push good people away...ever seen Brittany Runs A Marathon where she rejects the donation her friends give her? kinda like...

    Fear And Feeling Positive Things

    ...it could take some time before I actually invite them into my life and I'm 99% sure they don't "have a dagger in their pocket" but there's always that paranoia. Is there an exact term for this because I never got one from mine either. The worst thing is I'm aware of it happening but it's...

    smoking weed and dissociative disorders

    Still, starting out? Always always alwys go low and slow. It avoids problems like paranoia getting out of hand. Since this falls under federal government oversight in Canada I guess our products are far better regulated and tested. I always forget that US cannabis is in a no man's land of...

    I'm so paranoid.

    Sometimes I'm feeling pretty good and than there will come a sudden rush of paranoia out of the blue. It will suck out all of my energy and I don't know what to do about it. I'm paranoid that my boyfriend is constantly lying to me, that my relationship with him is not as real as I think it is. I...

    Life is a series of distractions.

    ...I like my SA group. I worry they might be a bit clique-y, as it seems to be the same 10 people every day, but that's probably just my paranoia over being excluded. They've all been friendly and encouraging (as much as you can be in a meeting where no cross-talk is allowed lol). I love...

    General Physical reactions to trauma

    ...she was exhibiting towards me after the fact would be the same way she treated her abuser while they were still together, this included the paranoia and rightful distrust. In that state she was looking for any reason to get out of that situation, and she found what she needed, no matter how...

    Undiagnosed Helllpppp!

    ...to attitude and appearance. Its killing me and every interaction I have be it man or woman. I think there's a link between the gambling and paranoia and my suspicion of cheating and match fixing. I think I know the outcome and say if start with 1000 by the time I've caved in from the drain of...

    Recurrent Bad Dreams: an extended discussion.

    ...tendencies in my dream sequence are not as prevalent as once before. These days, I experience a little dissociation with residual effects of paranoia and social anxiety. I believe a little self- awareness and actualization of the conscious mind in the present with a little reflection on past...

    Relationship Long-term Prognosis for relationship with newly diagnosed Sufferer....?

    ...really know to what extent and how it impacted her life. The early signs that I knew she was suffering were her states of hypervigilance and paranoia and very rapid and disproportionate dysregulation (rapid anger, yelling defensiveness etc). She would also begin to fight very quickly and very...

    To Feel Safe Again - Discovered (former) church friend has a history of sex crimes & kidnapping

    Maybe it's different where you live, but in one specific experience with the police for something like this, I faxed or emailed reports weekly and the police said they'd been waiting years to get the person and had even set up stings from neighbours' properties but couldn't get proper visuals or...

    I'm so paranoid.

    Thank you so much:) I'm also writing in a journal so I can keep it out of my head. Im doing better now but this paranoia keeps coming and going

    Paranoia of relationship

    My boyfriend would never hurt me intentionally, I know this, yet I get fear of him hurting me because nearly all men in my life have hurt me badly. (Often in traumatic ways.) I freak out every time his phone gets a notification. I get worried when he’s on his phone and/or has it in the...

    Undiagnosed Helllpppp!

    Dear Dear Pablo, You have so many labels for yourself. So many identifying factors regarding your abuse. You also label,shame and hate yourself. The trauma you underwent as a child has defined you. Have you attempted to sit and contemplate the idea that you were born for a reason and that all of...

    I don't feel safe anywhere

    ...the time. Right?! So because of our traumas and bad experiences we can think that were in danger all of the time. But that's not true. Our paranoia and stress levels tell us that but it's a cognitive distortion. At some point we have to break through that mindset and say to yourself...

    Overreacting? - Trauma Anniversary, & 1st Year Abuser Is Out Of Jail. Stress, Fear, What If’s & Paranoia.

    ...happened. My abuser continues to stalk me, even 11 years later. You never get used to it, and nothing that you feel or think about it is paranoia. What you are thinking and feeling is normal. I can't really offer advice, but I can say you are not alone in this. Are you seeing a therapist...

    Rebuilding my relationships with my children

    ...by his brother. I tried to calm my mind down but my stomach squeezes still so badly. I have no one I can share and check whether my fear and paranoia can be rational and I saw your post and brought me into tears. I feel your pain deep in my heart. We all are trying to clear up some ancestral...

    Undiagnosed Help - Nightmares, Paranoia, & Flashbacks Of Psychotic Episodes

    I have no motivation for life. I had bad psychotic episodes nearly two years ago which I struggle to talk about. My recovery was going okay. Recovery was going well but I was having vivid nightmares of the episodes. I told my psychiatrist but he just said it’s nothing to worry about. That...

    I don't feel safe anywhere

    ...paralysis by analysis, or the lightning bolt of unthinking unreasonable terror; whether rhe legit fear of clear and present threats, or paranoia fueled anxiety spirals? Fear is a motherf*cker. But being afraid of anything “not safe”? Is like being afraid of the air. Something to learn to work...

    How to manage intense avoidance of people in shared housing?

    I can hard relate to this. I've lived communally while experiencing paranoia and strong social anxiety as well. The coffee machine sounds good, and it would be something that is just yours. When you're sharing so much in your home, that sense of personal space can be weird, so it's important to...

    Paranoia - Unable to confront family and friends

    Hi GoneBy: I don't have all the answers for you, but I have suggestions. Take what you can use and leave the rest: Have you ever tried meditating, or even sitting silently? When I first started, I couldn't meditate, but I'd allow myself to sit/lie down and cry or think about whatever I wanted...

    Childhood COCSA (Child on Child Sexual Abuse) I don't know what to do with this information.

    ...until I was at least 7, continuing on until early summer although apparently less consistently based on specific memories I have. I get paranoia that my memories are fake, exaggerated, or otherwise false memories, so it used to be quite useful to consult my original account of what happened...

    I avoid everything that would possibly be affected by my condition.

    Well, you smoked some weed. That's what happened. There's risk in that. I'm not anti-weed at all, just get tired of hearing about how surprised people are when they have assumed that this potent psychoactive substance is always benign. It's not. There's a thing, and it's called Substance...
