Hey everyone, do you have a problem with paranoia?
I noticed i'm very paranoid sometimes.. Like today i got so paranoid that i had a major panic attack, i blocked one of my good friends on Facebook and Messenger... Ect ect The thing i got so paranoid was bc the friend that i blocked sent a screen shot of something i said, to my other best friend, it wasn't something bad at all, it was just a some thing, but i started to shake and i couldn't breathe bc i kept thinking that that friend sent screen shots of our conversations to someone else too, i hate the thought that someone knows something about me, anything, like that i'm cold, if i don't want them to know. I made a huge thing out of nothing, and i scared my friends... It's not the first time too, before i kept thinking that i'll buy the phone from 10 years ago so the government can't track me, that i'll erase Facebook and Messenger bc the fucking government reads my messages and "knows me"... I'm scared that i have some mental illness to be honest, or that it will develop in illness in future bc i'm still young, i'm 15... So if you have also some experience with this, please tell me, i'm kind of scared of myself... Really... Thanks anyway.
1) If you wanna buy some old axx phone or to go off grid as much as possible, go ahead. It's not a crime. I personally wouldn't bc I enjoy using the internet haha
2) if you wanna delete soc med, go ahead. I did that too. I felt it was better for my happiness And tbh those people weren't really my friends anyway
3) I also feel uncomfy if people ta...... reply
I used to have a problem with paranoia and I still do, just not as extreme.
When I was little I had a friend, let's call her friend A, then she introduced me to her other friend, friend B.
I was pretty attached to friend A, so when A hanged out with B more than me, I got really annoyed but B was friends with me too. I started thinking that friend B...... reply
I feel this some-what. Getting close to people or even the thought of people getting to know me makes me uncomfortable and I start shaking/freezing up mid conversation, mostly when I’m meeting someone new.
Or when someone from long ago randomly sends me a screenshot I start overthinking things, thinking the possibility that I did something wron...... reply
well, I don't really have paranoia but my sister does and it got a lot worse she's completely lost in her mind but back then when my sister was 15-16 she got taken away from my mom and sent to a mental place which they wound her a lot in there. and it was scary to be in a place like that and back then she knew where she was she knew her name and he...... reply
I have not been diagnosed but I feel like there are cameras watching me in my room and I feel like they’re hidden in mirrors, paintings, books, door hinges, and some ornaments. Sometimes I can’t help it and I pull down the painting and put it under my bed but at other times I try to ignore my feeling because I know it’s a delusion.
But then ...... 2 reply
I used to think everyone around me could read or hear my thoughts. I kept my thoughts at a certain limit. This started when my Grandfather told me he could read my thoughts when it was just my emotions (emotions >> thoughts). The only time I felt like I could expand/extend my thoughts was when I was about to go to bed. I reached out to the internet...... reply

Paranoia can be a serious symptom when it's to this extent. someone already mentioned schizophrenia, and that might be the case although a psychiatrist is not likely to diagnose you at your age with it. There are other things that cause what you're feeling, and it's best to go see a mental health professional to make sure that what you're feeling c...... reply
I used to be quite paranoid, but I've been slowly recovering. Back then I would feel paranoid about almost everything, from the things I say to the things I wear... everything just doesn't feel good enough and I always feel like people are going to talk about me the moment they see me. Whenever I am forced to talk to a person, I immediately got pan...... 1 reply
