I worry about several things that I don’t even want to say what they are because it will make me more paranoid unless PERHAPS with a CBT therapist.

Very little unless I’m stressed. Then it’s why are people thinking that or this so I keep stress low! I’m a happy man…

I find paranoia is more to do with obsessive thinking. This can be overcome. I have practised for years and in a pretty good place with it now. I literally have no reason to be paranoid anymore - mainly because I do not know any dangerous people, and I am living a relatively subdued existence.

I get paranoid around people a lot, I can walk in to a room full of new people and think they all hate me.

When I have more confidence in things, people (including myself) my paranoia goes down. For example my mum

On the surface, I simply feel like I’m constantly being attacked, but it goes deeper than that. I have this sense of uneasiness about the world, a feeling that something is seriously wrong. Thinking people are imposters, considering throwing a chicken nugget at the wall to prevent nuclear war, feeling like I’m at the center of some huge conspiracy. But then I’m also not worried about things that I should probably at least be thinking about. How much water I’m getting, how much of which food items I’m eating, how I’m going to get myself to read an entire book. I can’t get anywhere without an education. I think that college will be good for me.

On medication I’m still anxious and paranoid.
It’s a real problem for me.

Idk if you meant to respond to me specifically or the topic itself, but yeah, that sucks. Now that I’m on meds, there’s been quite a bit of improvement, actually. At least I’m not living in some fantasy world like I was when I first got here.

No real paranoia on meds.

Good, good. My doctor says that we’re aiming for the greatest amount of symptom reduction that we can get without sacrificing my mental capacity. Is that what your doctor thinks too?
Just a slight paranoia most of the time, with anxiety usually caused by people trying to take advantage of me. Im really not good with other people in real life at the moment.
I still get paranoid about people because I’ve been bullied so much in the past so I stay inside and hide as much as possible. It’s kind of pathetic but I can’t afford to go out and do anything anyway.

I have ups and downs it’s been worse lately.
I am frequently on edge whenever people are talking in the distance. That’s when I hallucinate.
I get a little paranoid every now and then, but generally it is kept in check with my medications. The biggest issue i start facing when i’m becoming unwell is actually catatonia. Then i start becoming paranoid.
Is Catatonia when the muscles all go stiff and you can’t move?
I’m sorry youve experienced that
Catatonia can be stuporous or excited. Stuporous catatonia is characterised by immobility during which people may hold rigid poses (stupor), an inability to speak (mutism), as well as waxy flexibility, in which they maintain positions after being placed in them by someone else. Mutism may be partial and they may repeat meaningless phrases or speak only to repeat what someone else says. People with stuporous catatonia may also show stereotyped, repetitive movements (stereotypy). Excited catatonia is characterised by bizarre, non-goal directed hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
As per Wikipedia.
