i know how you feel. i get paranoid alot

question..... is hypervigilence and feeling parinoia the same? When I get hypervigilant Im jumping at every noise in the house..Im checking locks on doors..just need to feel safe....I feel like someone iss out to hurt me in some way...just looking for some imput

It is messed up feeling, especially when its not true

In answer to the hyperviglance question. I saw someone in the parking lot of the grocery store and this guy gave me a weird look (or atleast i thought) He went everywhere I went for a minute and then I kept driving just to make sure. It reallyu messed my head up.

No, hypervigilance is not the same as paranoia.

Have you recently started having flashbacks or disclosed the trauma?

When I first started having flashbacks, I had some pretty strange fears. I thought some sexual abusers were going to kill me. Apparently this one is not all that uncommon.

I also had these strange feelings when going out in public that someone was watching me. More like hunting me, actually. I think it's common. In my case, it passed.

A little.But i'm always conscious about it being part of my perception due to my disorders.

I got carjacked before and that kind of made it a little worse.
Yeah hypervigillance is not the same as paranoia.
