Do you know when you paranoid?

I know when I am paranoid. I can tell. It feels like everyone is out to get me and I am being watched.

No, it’s not paranoia when it’s true. Then it’s fear.

I am very paranoid right now. And I know it. I feel that everyone at my dinner table at my assisted living center hates me. It is so bad that I requested today to be moved to a different table. To a table where I can sit alone, by myself with no dinner partners. I sat there today. I was much more comfortable there. I think I am going to sit there from now on. It is a small table off in a corner of the dining room. I am perfectly happy there.

One of the women from my old table came up to me and asked why I was sitting at a new table. I told her that I had some emotional troubles and that I felt more comfortable at this new table. She told me that “you think that every one at the old table hates you and that that is not true at all.” She said, “we don’t hate you”. I told her that I still feel more comfortable here at this new table.

I’m always paranoid. I notice it more when I’m more suspecious paranoid… for good reason. I’m usually just a loner outside my house.

When I go off my meds I have no idea that I am paranoid or delusional. When I drop or miss a dosage I usually notice a bit after the fact. Then I up my dosage.
