How do you deal with paranoia?

I thought I had a better handle on this. It doesn’t look like my ap takes care of it. I was caught in a paranoid episode yesterday afternoon and tried to write it out of my system – but made the dumb mistake of posting it to WordPress. This made my paranoia worse, not better, for fear that my writing might get me in trouble somehow. Hence I agonized over everything all day and all night, curled into a ball on the couch.

It was first of all hard to recognize as being a paranoid “episode.” How do we know when we’re going into one of those? Right now, tho, I feel fine. I reread what I’d written and reckon it was within my 1st Amendment rights, etc. Nothing for me to be arrested over. Not even to lose friends over.

Paranoia is very weird. So how do we cope with it? Thanks.

I think we’re at the mercy of our meds when it comes to paranoia :frowning:

I’ve erased the idea of evil and devil from my system of beliefs, just there are people who have been in an unbearable condition that have made them what called " bad or evil "
If they could then they were nice people too,

I don’t know if what I said is relevant to your case or not,
At the end let say hello to you my friend,

My only remedy is to pop a klonopin, which I try to limit to four a week so they won’t stop working. Lots of white knuckling going on around here…constant paranoia.
