Paranoia Support Group
Paranoia is a disturbed thought process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. It is often associated with psychotic illnesses, sometimes schizophrenia, although attenuated features may be present in other primarily non-psychotic diagnoses, such as paranoid personality disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.
I've been dealing with paranoia on and off for a couple years now, and every now and then it changes what I am afraid of (that no one is real, that people are out to get me, ect). As of last night I had a horrible panic attack because I was scared (and still am) that my memories aren't real. I'm afraid that someone put these memories in my head and that what I am remembering is false. I need some words of encouragement from anyone who has dealt with something like this :(
Maybe, when you are feeling better and not paranoid, you could write yourself a note to remind yourself that...
people are real
no one is out to get you (they have no reason to, and they have their own lives that they are living)
your memories are real, unless you had a dream or something, and that no one can possible put anything false into your head.
It is okay. You are safe. I promise that everything right now is real and that no one is messing with your memories or out to get you in anyway. :)
