Yes, building paranoia is the worst. I get it all the time. I haven't encountered it in a work situation yet, i am a year from completing my degree, and am sure i will have to face it soon.

Being a paranoid schizophrenic, i have become used to these building paranoia situations, and keep trying to tell myself, STOP, this is not real. It is a figment of your imagination. But its hard when everything seems so real. I go to sleep at night thinking things have occurred, that i'm sure haven't. Half the time i don't get affirmation, but sure enough, half the time it pans out that i was right, nothing to worry about.

I stress about coming across a situation where my paranoia forces me into a confrontation. I have learned though, with my Uni friends, what *I* think requires a confrontation, is rarely the case, almost never.

Maybe this is the case with work, and i hope it to be for my future.

Good luck,

Mike
