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 use to read books on serial killers and crazy crimes like cannibalism. I couldn't sleep and even when I did I was always thinking about. I enjoyed wondering what it looked like and pondering what made a person so fucken crazy. It's like I was high on drugs but I wasn't.

I hear the books and films you read can affect the way your hallucinations are

For example a guy had ok voices for years but suddenly they became very bad company

Turns out he'd been reading Hitler's books and stuff. So he gave up that and his voices went back to normal...

Scary stuff to wake up seeing stuff with the lights off huh!!!? I don't know how I dealt with it so calmly...

I would seriously consider surrounding yourself with some better literature and film choices. If you feel like you want to read or watch a movie one night, consciously will yourself to read something happy or watch something that isn't terrifying. If you change the way that you are surrounding yourself in these terms, you might begin to notice some changes. Maybe try that first and then if things don't get better after a while, consider seeing a medical professional.
