I'm 17 and I am too, it's fucking hard. I just can't cope with any kind of social activity. :(

"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

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.

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...

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.

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!
