How I Deal with Paranoia

[psychwardmovies]

"I'm never right" lol I wish my ex would or could have figured that out. He was never right about his paranoia but it was just like each time, THIS was the time he WAS. He just knew it. Facts and logic where just diversions people laid down to try and get him to fall for their "lies". It's funny now, but at the time....it's very scary.

I'm 16, living in Japan for one year as an exchange student. I hate my paranoia issues... recently, I feel I'm becoming more distant with my host family because I keep thinking they are thinking bad things about me, and talking about me behind my back.. I also think my host brother put a camera in my room, because he won't look me in the face anymore or really talk with me. I think it's his guilt? But I feel like they are starting to hate me... I hate having these and other thoughts all the time

[ash97ify]

I'm 14 and I have bad paranoia problems, i don't trust ANYONE outside my family because everyone i've let close t me has hurt me, whenever on of my friends posts something angry/bad about someone on somethin like twitter or faebook, i will always assume it's about me and other thins like that, i know it migt not seem that bad and i'm NOT looking for sympaty i just needed to get it off my chest a bit.

[123sophiekat]

I'm 14 and I don't trust anyone. I know everyone's out to hurt me somehow...I almost always think someones watching me to the point I start seeing things...I'm scared to tell anyone because I CAN'T TRUST THEM. It's to the point I hate going outside because someone might hurt me...

[Mhari4]

I do little stupid things and blow it out of proportion!

[kurtanglerocks555]

I'm 16 and paranoid i have feelings that people out to hurt me physically or emotionally

I'm 16 and

I was considered possibly bipolar for decades. Turned out it's not so. Abusive family members and employers, as well as some friends, were traumatising me.  It took a long time to sort out and I took a lot of meds I didn't need. I have learned to go for checkups, however, and to watch myself. It does take time. What was sad was getting attacked (sometimes physically) by doctors, coworkers, spouses and so on when they were confronted with their own guilt. Scary! Uprated.

[poltergiest11]

im 17 and bipolar...i have so much symptoms and its really hard..my family dont really understand that im struggling to survive everyday, that its not really me but the bipolar making me act, feel, and react to things. i have anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, loss of appetite, smell, sight, hearing hullicinations, i get severe depression and mania...but ive just been over like 5 years learning and trying to be better. using cannabis helps me so much, i feel safe and i know i wont die from it. paz!

[mewtuwa]

I'm paranoid and I told my parents, but they don't seem to take it seriosly... I even tough that I maybe wouldn't tell anyone that I was paranoid because I tough it might be used against me. I try not to be paranoid, but sometimes I just can't help it.

[SiOmniaFicta]

I'm 15, and I have paranoia. My friends say it's really bad. A few months ago, I had this constant feeling that I was being stalked by demons, now all I think about is maybe my boyfriend's cheating on me, and being teenagers just makes it harder. I always feel like I'm being watched and I think negatively of everything. I tried telling my parents, but they thought I was lying to get attention. Is there any other way to get help? I just want it to go away.

[PhilosophyComa]

I'm 13 and sometimes I get these strange feelings that someones in my house whenever i hear a noise coming from one of the other apartments. This happened shortly after i was mugged at knifepoint. This sucks... I know that no ones there but sometimes it gets freaky!

[returnoftheramble]

I compulsively move my head around when I'm psychotic.

[returnoftheramble]

the army made me extremely paranoid for some reason but the longer I'm out the more it ebbs.

[returnoftheramble]

I don't want to be schizophrenic because I don't like this being trapped by other people. I like to isolate.

[returnoftheramble]

I bottle up then explode with all my ideas. I think I'm autistic, and I have some sort'of trauma disorder from being wrong that makes me paranoid.

[MegaDarkangel420]

i cant stand it when people pick on mental illnesses and wanna hurt us for feeling the way we do i have this illness they call me names and tell me im worthless and when a dark side of me appears and i tell these people off they they threaten my life and some cops pick at us like we are stupid

[oFreddEo123]

I have Fucking paranoia too...Fuck! After I Jerk off to Pussy and Tits... :( It sucks. Don't masturbate people because It gave me Bad Anxiety which leaded to paranoia. I hope I'm not really paranoid because after masturbating I'm not my normal self. I had too repeat 2 years, 2 fucking years of school(freshmen)because my anxiety was bad...I left school. I want to return to school without problems. HELP ME! It's eating me alive AHHHHHH!... No really Help... -_-

[NoRhymeOReason]

I think my girlfriend doesn't have any interest in me anymore when she tells me shes busy. Even though we talk all day. anytime she says she has to go, I think she doesn't like me anymore, even though she is the busiest person on earth. paranoia sucks.

[turockandar]

Both joey..and sector...if you smoke dope (marijuana) this could explain paranoid thoughts or you are in a situation which warrants such thoughts (some refugees suffer from paranoia because of the fact that they have undergone hostile conditions) If not the sooner your consult a therapist be better your chances are at nipping these thoughts in the bud and not becoming imprisoned by them...best of luck:) Don't feel embarrassed about having these thoughts most people have some form of problem.

[Delta38thomas]

Can exeggeration of that paranoia helps the patient to gain awareness of what they are thinking?

[MrDustyme]

thank tou so much for this video this could help me alot

[halohero147]

i dont know if this is paranoia but i feel everyone including my parents and grandparents dont like me and say thing about me behind my back to other people and family members. if you can tell me if this is paranoia or not email me. please.

[LaBellaa1984]

i never realized i am psychotic i been severly for many years! wonder how reality is?? i can't see it..

[DreamingAlive1]

I was psychotic three days ago and my gf almost left me.....I need my meds

[azncoolz]

I@ 1990banks yeah what ur papa feeling he thinks there are cameras in the tv, when I'm high I alwas think that. There's a red light in my satilite drive an when I'm watchig comedy shows like friends ad two and a half men, te audience laughs and I think they are laughing at me when I do something stupid . Like they are always watching me.

[cobydick0]

im 15 and i have it, ill be walking though town and ill always think someoen is out to get me, or ill always think someone is in my room when im trying to sleep. is pretty scary.

[at40100]

@cobydick0 If it make you feel any better I suffered paranoi about three weeks ago

Having any mental illness does not mean your crazy it means your human just like I am By the way society would be fine if it was a live and let live mentality

[emperorzong]

Smoke weed?

[cwjop]

@emperorzong weeds good for alot of things but paranoia isnt one of them

[PhilosophyComa]

@cobydick0 Umm, i'm like that, but i think i have good reason because i live in a shitty neibourhood. I've already been mugged and i cant wait till we move to a nicer place. I get those feelings too sometimes that someone is in the house. But then i remind myself that that is improbable and impossible when i lock the door.

[RymvTheGod]

This chick is delightfully insane. Such that her charisma is accentuated - if only she were more witty. Neurotic people entertain me, what can I say?

[1990banks]

found out a day ago my paps has this he thinks the're cameras in the tv so he pulls me into the bathroom to talk to me everytime, he thinks my mom poisns his food, he thinks my moms cheating but then he says i know she can never do something like that?? wtf so contradictory it's dreadfull because at the end of the day its not his fault

[tattedfreak420]

HI are you psycotic today? LMFAO

[Imseeingstarz1]

I doubt it's schizophrenia tho, some other mental prob, meh

[LaBellaa1984]

i always had paranoia problems I remember when I was a little kid i locked myself in the bathr. for 2 h because i believed people were in the house with black clothes and danger all around, i don't know what triggered this.always paranoid about family friends and their fam. I think they want to harm me on purpose. someone is behind my back a ghost! people talk about me, and mean other things than they say. delusional. am i schizo?please someone tell me?and if you can feel aura's who harm you?

[Imseeingstarz1]

@LaBellaa1984 um,why did you repeat the exact same sentence I typed.R U MAKIN FUN OF ME?Anyways,I think ive started developing symptons of schizo around my early 20s,it started off small and now I hear a few voices once in a while,I get crazy panic attacks at the weirdest time,like on the bus, or when some1 is just coming home.Ive learned to notice when my paranoia is going off when I focus on the fact that w/e set it off is so benign dat the chances of it being tru r rare even if I do belive it

[benjajammin113]

@Imseeingstarz1 :(i understand

[bearcub410]

HE HAS SUCH STRONG LOVES AND HATES , VERY UPSETTING . EVERYTHING IS BLACK AND WHITE TO HIM . , I HOPE HE GETS HELP BUT HE JUST KEEPS THROWING HIS MEDS DOWN THE TOILET , SO SAD

[bearcub410]

[Imseeingstarz1]

I think when people are chatting away in a conversation they're speaking indirectly about me and somehow controlling my thoughts to set me up for a good laugh when I try to counter with a response to what I think they're trying to say. Or to show each other how easily I can be controlled. I know it's all just fluff but at those moments my conspiracy theories seem so real. It seems i've forgotten how to make friends, so I hold close to the ones I have left.

[LaBellaa1984]

@Imseeingstarz1 I have this too, and it is so real!! I think when people are chatting away in a conversation they're speaking indirectly about me. it's scary and i get mad and angry to the point where i get sick and 'fall' away into my own world, like i'm only fysically there.. anyone the same. It's huge anxiety and it affects me extremely socially and this is the reason why i don'thave /can't hold a job. how worse am I? is this schizophrenia? or do you have to be schizo the believes in other th

[LaBellaa1984]

@Imseeingstarz1 no not making fun HELLO, now i feel like you put the joke on me. im not english so i copied the sent. cost me a minute of thinking okay don't be paranoid, we think to long and to deep about random stupid stuff.

[herphilosophy1]

:( this is so sad..

[75eab]

"yes i'm psychotic today." what?? people with dealing with psychosis don't know they're psychotic. right? someone please tell me. i need to know.

[LaBellaa1984]

@75eab they have good days/periods where they can reflect a bit more in what's real and what not I think.

[gunzkillu]

i must be psychotic every everyday then

[gayrichy1993]

well i wouldnt say i have it as bad as you guys but i always think low of myself like ppl dont like me and if they look at me then i must have somthing wrong with me. plus like say if im on msn and i@ll be talkin to a person if it takes them a while to write back then i feel that they dont actually like me and they just talk to me because they are bored. im not sure if this is like a minor paranoiya if u can have that or i just have a low selfasteam im not really sure maybe its abit of both.

[bbb131]

rule number one: dont smoke weed lol it just makes it worse and people jus make it harder on you and use it against you!

[gunzkillu]

weed is stupid..im never smoking it again it just makes a bad situation worst

[InternetHitman]

oh damn. My friend advised me to smoke weed because it would help me see things correctly. What a mistake it was.

[joeypaint]

[LaBellaa1984]

[emperorzong]

Other people are too concerned with their own problems to be concerned with yours.
