Hi alice. this has been my experience as well. i started a new job and my paranoia went off the charts so bad i wound up hospitalized. hang in there. you can make it. just take it day by day, one step at a time.

and like costello said, your visitor is definitely trying to keep you pinned down where you don't want or need to be. it's been my experience that such visitors always show up when you're doing ok to try to bring you down. it might be hard to not listen to her, but maybe take her stuff with a grain of salt if you can.

hope you're feeling better soon.
