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.
What are some of the most ridiculous things to have hijacked your mind for any period of time?
Given our lack of knowledge of a large part of how the physical universe works and also given the strange and inexplicable phenomena in some of the known dimensions in physics, and allot of other phenomena that have yet to be explained and a wide range of beliefs which have intersecting components, it might be possible that there is another dimension other than space and time to this universe that is what one would otherwise call the spiritual realm, and that in that dimension there might be pseudo beings which we would otherwise call gods, demons and angels. Then I look at my life and at the height of my paranoia observe a person who seems to make an enemy out of the most unsuspecting person. I then recall from a movie I saw that when a demon tries to possess a persons body, it will first weaken the mind before taking possession. I then see how every interaction I have with people somehow, almost like a magician, seems to trigger a hostile response and how that response is often taken to its limit of my negative interpretation, courtesy of a paranoid mind, and how every day I grow weaker and weaker and each and every thing that I see value or the slightest beauty in slowly picks up a kind of mental rust and everything becomes repulsive, hostile and dangerous and the weakness spreads to my body and I become ill and weak and tired. My intellect becomes dull and my ideals and sense of ethics go out the window at which point I have zero incentive to trust myself. Then the thought occurs to me, if there was a demon trying to possess me, it's doing a hell of job at it. I wonder how long. But ofcourse the whole idea is ridiculous. Yet of course if by some small chance it were so, then said demon might be aware of the thoughts I'm currently entertaining, and if so then ridiculous is exactly what it would want me think. But if I believe it then it might be threatened by this and might try to take over before I get ahead of it. But I can't turn back now because the fear of this possibility has already struck me so I can't shut it out of my mind now and ..... you know the rest.
I know what a delusion is and have had some severe delusions which I still find hard to shut out of my mind and some which I still feel might be real, although this one about demons wasn't one of them, it was more of an invasive thought.
Feel free to share any of your most ridiculous thoughts or delusions.

When I came home one day to find an empty jar of pepper jelly in my refridgerator I was convinced that my ex husband had read my post on face book and broke into my house just to eat all my pepper jelly and then put the empty jar back into the fridge. I called my mom and was talking about calling the police to come and try to lift fingerprints from the jar. Luckily my daughter was there, and she was like "you've got to have NO LIFE to break into someone's house just to eat their pepper jelly" and this comment brought me back into reality and we had a good long laugh about it.
I think my family are talking behind my back
I always think I'm going to be fired
That my boyfriend is cheating
Lots and lots
