My paranoi is ruining my life

It doesn't matter how little something is but i am always paranoid! It drives me crazy about the tinyest thing! I get afraid of falling when i am going down stairs! IS this normal?

    Normal for me! Whenever I'm driving and a car is moving into the lane next to me I freak out because I feel like they're going to hit me!

    Im the same, Sooooo paranoid about EVERYTHING, it makes me wonder if theres something wrong with me. But then i think, is me thinking theres somethign wrong with me just something to do with my paranoia ;P

    hahaha, mines down to my insecuritys, yours might be too... write down all your insecurities, dont look at them again, scrunch them into a ball and burn them.

    Do it everytime you feel paranoid.. it REALLY helps :) x

    I really should be fair.

    Look, if you don't care about the survival that I mentioned and just want to make the FEAR GO AWAY.... then sign up with a psychologist - tell them you want to see a psychiatrist - then ask the psychiatrist for Aripiprazole prescriptions.

    And twisted the mental institution thing a bit - it's not THAT easy to end up in one.

    Don't say that too loud or you'll easily get put into a psychiatric hospital. Trust me, you don't want to be in one!!

    Now, if I know 2 things about paranoia - yes, it is horrible. Ya just wish you could shut it off, completely, and feel at ease.

    But I think of it like this; paranoia is an instinctive, survival trait!!

    It's absolutely true that there're so many dangers in the world, and on the street - so being edgey means you're more likely to cheat death.

    So the more excessive the better.

  • I don't think there is anything wrong with you per se. Given the irrational abuse meted out by your mom (other post) is it unrealistic to generally feel fear about any little thing on your part? Maybe there is no connection - but thats my thought.

    So is there someone you can just talk to work out your feelings? Please do.
