I just recently accepted the fact that I suffer from severe paranoia rather frequently. 15 years ago my friend told me I was the most paranoid person he ever met, my response........paranoia that he was never really my friend and had only been spying on me for my ex-boyfriend( he hated him more than me and was instrumental in my leaving the very toxic relationship!) My husband told me he thought my irrational paranoia was affecting my work relationships @ my last job and something finally clicked. It was like a fast forward movie of the last 30 years of my life highlighting ridiculous episodes of paranoia. My newfound realization makes it easier to put on the brakes before attacking innocent people.........sometimes!
