Every time the paranoia comes it’s like a war zone in my head. It’s real. No it’s not. Yes it is. But it isn’t. Every single time. I want to miss rip my head in two so that these two parts that are different are separate. I could rip the paranoia out of me and then I would be okay. I wouldn’t war with myself and everything would be better.
I am very sorry you are experiencing that. I can’t remember if you are on meds or not but meds may help with that. meds help a little with my paranoia but I still struggle with the same thing that you do. I get extremely paranoid that horrible things are going to happen to me. At the very same time, I will convinced that it is definitely going to happen and that it won’t happen. I wish the paranoia would go away. It is awful. That is the #1 reason why I take meds.
Sorry you’re feeling paranoid again. What do you think caused it this time? Any extra stress at school or home?
@47average I am on meds.
@Ninjastar well I’m not allowed to go to school right now. So it’s not school. But there’s a friend of mine who I haven’t talked to in a while and my other friends haven’t talked to her in at least four days. She doesn’t live near us. But anyways I’m really worried and I fear that the bad people got her. The fact that her mood message thingy on skype Is “Screaming” doesn’t help at all either.
Poor child, at least ur summer break is coming up 
(((Hugs))) I’d get into a constant vivicious circle of the paranoia triggering of anxiety which would trigger off more paranoia trigging off more anxiety and so on. Helps to break the thoughts up which does help. Something ACT which is one of the mindful approaches does help as has a few skills to break up the thoughts. Dr Russ Harris had brought it to Australia from America in the form of two books the happiness trap and the reality slap both well worth a read. Tons of info on the site on ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and on the net. ACT is based on Buddhist mindfulness so it does work.
@Esm I actually miss school. Especially being able to see my friends.
@Dreamscape2 hugs back Thanks for the hugs. I’ll have to look into ACT. It sounds like it could be helpful.

What might help is to think “The reason for the paranoia was real at one time and place, but this is not that time or place. I am safe here and now.” Because no one ever said that paranoia didn’t have it’s basis in a reality.
you would really be split minded then… I think we all feel this way sometimes no worries your not alone… just come rant on here its a much better outlet than a lot of things… children of the moon are very supportive as we should be… the children of the sun are too busy to worry about us but atleast we have each other…
