Is it normal to get this paranoid?

I've always been Paranoid, but this seems out of hand.. I do the following:
• I won't Sleep with the blue half of my blanket on top of me because the last time I did, I was sick
• I won't Sleep with my door shut because last time I did I had a terrible nightmare
• I won't in the same shirt I got sick in even though it's been washed..
• Say to myself "If you don't do this your mom will die"
• For example I will be sitting in my car.. Someone may be next to me, and I'll be blasting music. I then would take a few words from this song, and direct them towards me, then the next words to the other person, and do it back and forth. I believe the lyrics will tell something about me or the other person
I used to do this:
• If my mind told me to walk over to the closer (example) I'd do so. Anything that looked crooked I would fix

    I don't think you are paranoid... I think you have OCD. Not sure how old you are, but from a professional standpoint I highly recommend that you talk with your doctor about this and get some therapy and possibly some medication to help control your "urges". The therapy will help you understand the nature of your disease, because that is what it is, a disease of the brain. And a therapist can help you find ways to work through your "habits", and obsessions and compulsions. You are not paranoid. I think you are scared because you don't understand what is happening and why. If you have a doctor that you trust, talk to them. Otherwise find an adult that is stable and trustworthy that can help you find the right people to get connected with. Every state has lists if Mental Health professionals in your area. Don't put it off, it's not going to go away or get better on it's own. Good luck!

    I concur. It really does sound like obsessive compulsive disorder.

    Definitely OCD. I'm totally OCD (diagnosed) and have similar thought patterns. I won't train abs and upper body on the same day because once, I did and got a call that my grandma was going into surgery following a stroke and I had to rush to the hospital, and a few months later I trained abs/upper body and got a call that my grandpa had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Yeah. Irrational fears. That's all it is. Good ol' OCD. =)
