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.

Guidance/Advice?

I don't know what to put really. I just need some advice and guidance.

I'm constantly paranoid, constantly looking over my shoulder. I always think people are following me or talking about. I hate to be alone in my own house because I always think there's someone in there waiting for me. I can't stop looking behind me for people. I can't even go upstairs because I think there's someone up there waiting. When there's a house full of people, I still get scared. I still can't go upstairs, I still can't stop looking around, checking the back door to see if someone's trying to get in. Every noise I hear, I have to get up and check it out.

I'm 18, I shouldn't be like this. Is there anything that I can do to stop feeling like this?

you have to know first the reason it got you to this!! find the root of the problem!! did someone bashed you with a threat?? or made you feel unsafe? cauz there must be someone thats scarring you!! if there is you have to solve the problem! and then ur gonna be alright! besides! everytime to get scared you must know that it's only in ur head and god is with you and u should trust him! wether good things happen or bad! ur only 18! u have a full life waiting for you! u can't stop living ur life!! ur just starting to really live it! just let it go! no one can harm you!! u got ur family and friends protecting you! and the countries system is tough when it comes to protecting the people so when ever someone threats you u know u can always call the cops and deal with it as soon as possible!!

i hope u enjoy life! and i wish u a good day

Meditate, pray, and exercise, those are the best things that you can do to help calm & center your mind. If you are comfortable doing it, carry a rosary with you in your purse, pocket, somewhere, and that might help bring you some peace throughout the day. Holding a rosary when I'm in bed really helps me a lot.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
