Why am I too paranoid to stay alone in the house?
Why am I scared of my shadow?!?
Why am I paranoid of every one and everything?!?
I’m sick and tired of living like this!
I don’t think that you guys are so fearful like I am.
Why? Does anyone know?

Does anything help your fear? Have to tried benzos?

I came off of benzos - they weren’t helping.
I am constantly in fear.
Depakote helps a little but it’s not enough.
I don’t know what to do?

Hi @Wave
Have you had traumatic events from before?
I am a child abuse survivor, so a lot of my fear come from it. I am in fear 24/7 and I cannot do things easily. When I am with others, I am scared of them and the voices always talk about my fear. Sometimes I write in my journal to keep myself away from fear, or meditate with calming music. I write lots of poetry, which helps me to express my emotions.
I hope you are alright. I know that it’s so awful to be scared and fearful all the time. My heart cries out for you. Please know that you are loved and you are appreciated!

Its an imposed fear to me. I know the fears i have are fake news. Impostering emotions so to speak. Once you break through that youll feel some relief.

I do think that some of my anxiety comes from Risperidone use.
But it keeps me somewhat sane.

Nothing else works as good as Risperidone.
I’ve tried a lot of different APs.
My psychiatrist won’t take me off of the Risperdal.
Thanks for your concern @YayaC!

Are you able to get a different one? I think you could really benefit from a good therapist. I know when I was constantly paralyzed by far by therapist was an amazing support and resource.

I’m sorry @Wave, I hope you feel better soon!
Maybe a med change would not be so bad.
