Paranoid as Always

I keep believing that everyone, my family especially, is plotting against me. Best friend, my aunt, and whoever else knows very personal information about me. This is why I can’t trust anyone. Well, mainly my family. I believe they’d use my fears against me and act upon them, making them come true. These “demons” or whatever stronger force also places things in my life for everything to add up somehow. I ■■■■■■■ hate it.

Also, does anyone suggest to drink caffeine when in this mind state? I love coffee too much to quit but sometimes I believe it makes my delusions stronger.

Just be careful some people actually do do this. Don’t tell your delusions and fears to everyone people are ■■■■■■ up even family. Just find someone you truly trust and let them or just stick to this forum. At least hear no one can judge you. And you can remain anonymous.

Have you experienced someone doing that to you? I know. I made the absolute TERRIBLE mistake of telling several people. The psychiatrist also had to know since I was experiencing several mental breakdowns because of it. I knew I shouldn’t have told.
That’s true. I relate to this forum much more than anywhere else.
Thank you for your comment.

Drink decaf if you want coffee but not the caffeine.

Well paranoia is not always incorrect. I can tell you this from being in the corporate world. Sometimes it helps to be paranoid but within reason with reality checks

I think it’s good to tell ur pdoc about this kind of stuff. They are there to help you and the more they know the better they can give u the right advice and treatment. Trust me you can trust them not to use the info against you. You can give ur opinions and they will take that into consideration…I dont know where you live but in the UK they cant force anything on you if you have the capacity to make informed choices. But its up to you at the end of the day, I hope these delusions leave you or at least reduce in intensity cos its very upsetting stuff

Yes I have had people taunt me knowing my insecurities and delusions. Like being the butt end of the joke and they think I don’t notice because I show no acknowledgement. Like people are evil as well as jealous.

Yes I would avoid caffeine and every stimulant. And you are right you should trust no one but your pdoc (and maybe this anonymous forum. :slight_smile: ).
