I guess I need to be reassured on this…
I have anxiety too as well, many fears, but my main dx is paranoid sz, yeap 
…
I was out today, but had to go back at my house fast… I couldn’t buy the medicine of my mom in the pharmacy today, I was nervous, anxious, irritable and then paranoid…
I was quite dead in my thinking for long time, cause they gave me too many meds. Now, I start to feel more alive in the day, but the paranoia pops up sometimes… I was scared that today I had to go back… For me, it was a failure 
…
But I guess its still the illness my fears, no? Its not possible to be the Zyprexa? For my doc, its my illness, but I had some other aps before in the past, who caused me some fears…
I’ll try not to take my failure of today for so bad… There’s also probably the fact, that after 15 years of isolation, i’ll still have it hard… I don’t think anymore, that my meds could make me recover totally now after so much time of despair and isolation…
I think the meds do contribute to paranoia, at least in my case. Because they make me feel like I’m crumbling away, weak, so I get paranoia about people taking advantage of me etc etc
I also think it’s the psychosis experience in itself it makes me really more anxious about things than before.
But on a positive note I think I can reduce my paranoia by having a strong social circle irl who are there for each other and good structure to the week

@Anna1 I agree with @anon90843118 it would help to have a strong social circle. Maybe you could go regularly to a support group or art class or something, develop a social network so you’re not so scared of people & being out.
