How has paranoia affected your daily living?
How do you deal with having the thought of someone spying on you all the time?
Are you still able to go to the store/restaurant/church?
Are you just worrying at home all the time?
I’m currently living alone but my family is coming to visit soon, how does paranoia affect the people living with you?
Do you get too anxious sometimes and have a panic attack?
How can I stop worrying so much?
Does paranoia gets better over time?
I get paranoia when going outside now. I can challenge it, and like use earbuds with music on. But with the convenience of ordering shopping and paying bills online - i usually stay indoors. Im sorta “used” to it now. It does get better over time.
I cover the Webcam of my laptop.
I don’t talk about sensitive matters when my smartphone is near etc
Imagine, being in a public place and trying to form thoughts/ask questions when they are constantly interrupted by other people’s voices.
Imagine having to be self conscious of body language,
Imagine being part of a never ending story
I use to be so paranoid I couldn’t go outside on the grass… Sometimes I still can’t take showers although for the most part I just have trouble with that for no reason.
Edit: it’s gotten better for me
I haven’t had any paranoia for quite some time. Most of my suffering comes from negatives and akathisia.
Im riddled with it every day. Most of the time i take considerable amounts of time meticulously compiling evidence and logicizing through it. Unfortunately its an ongoing process for as soon as i “get over” one thing, another pops up. My wife also helps with reality checks but that also only goes so far. That mixed with who i don’t mind having certain info or having the sinking feeling of inevitably, it has its ups and downs.
i go to work and run my chores and errands out of the house just like anybody else, however, this disease of paranoia isolates me.
i have very little socialization in my life and until a few years ago had nothing whatsoever to do with anybody.

can’t meds tackle paranoia? becoz i see some people seems still stuggle with it even on meds?
I get paranoia sometimes after stress. I was at a friends office and I thought people were talking in code and people in the other room were talking about me. To be honest it does shake me up but on meds it normally passes and I can calm myself down.
I’m really sensitive to body language especially facial expressions. I always think everyone is looking down on me and that can make my voices snowball.
