I’m not having any delusions these days, but on occasion, I struggle with some paranoia, especially when stressed.
It’s easy to latch on to an idea and just run with the possibility for days without thinking it through.
I think one of the keys to dealing with the type of mild paranoia that I have these days, is to think it through logically and whether there really is any evidence of your thoughts being true, and quickly disregarding it if there is no real proof.
It’s very easy to have a thought, like maybe you think someone is secretly talking behind your back or conspiring against you, and then have it snowball for days and days, if you don’t think it through and follow the above paragraph.
If you cant disregard it entirely, at least you can put it on the back burner and not have the thoughts snowball and consume you.
Self analysis and questioning your thoughts can be key in these situations, IMO.
Anyway, those are my thoughts this morning.
