When I get stressed or anxious I get a paranoid delusion. Is there any ways which are good to overcome this?
Sometimes taking a nap helps.

I’m always stressed, anxious, and paranoid. Nothing has helped me yet. I’d like to know ways to cope too
Raising my Risperdal from 3 to 4mg stopped that for me. On 3mg I would get paranoid when under stress and when going outside my house even if its rare for me to get out of the house.
I think the main focus needs to be on getting thoughts under control, simply having less unwanted thoughts. Some supplements seem to help me, like fish oil, vitamin D and niacin.
I am also currently experimenting with tart cherry juice which I so far think helps relax my brain. It is highly inflammatory and it has natural melatonin. I think my AP is causing my brain to be both inflamed and disrupting my serotonin production/uptake which is responsible for producing melatonin in the brain. Melatonin is a relaxing hormone that controls the wake/sleep cycle. I will know more in a few weeks, and will keep you posted.
I take a little extra dose of meds and avoid the triggers if possible
One trigger is having to take my husband to visit his mother. She makes me paranoid so I avoid it as much as I can but unfortunately I can’t always avoid it as I have to let him see his mom and it would look strange if he went alone.
If I have to see her I don’t make much eye contact and I speak as little as possible or else she’d control my mind and gain access to my thoughts
That’s a delusion.
I get really paranoid towards the end of academic term when I have loads of work and stress. Avoiding stress should help.
It seems to me that I want to have a paranoia as a sort of “love me please!” cry for help.
I can and do, seek and find problems that range from impeding apocalypse to difficult to eradicate weeds. Lately lI have been finding that if I set myself a problem that is fearsome but not unbeatable then I do not escalate. Or, concretely speaking, I have been thinking about how to eradicate fearsome weeds (kudzu) and I have not thought about Armageddon at all.
Maybe when you don’t build stress and anxiety in the first place. I don’t have any commitments or appointments. Just my medicationmanagement. I rethink my believes. I feed myself with good things. I don’t watch tv, sometimes the news.
This is how I am constantly feeling also!
