I'm having a lot of issues with paranoia, believing things that (when I'm normal) I know are ludicrous, etc. I have an extensive family history of it also, but no one's ever made it to being diagnosed. I was led to believe it usually didn't start getting bad until 50's/60's, wasn't until I talked to my mom about my recent episodes that she told me otherwise. I'm going to see a professional asap because I'm freaking out and scared as hell, but a friend suggested bipolar because she went through similar stuff with her bipolar mother before she got treatment. The other things that seem possible or even probable from what I've researched are schizoaffective disorder or paranoid personality disorder, both precursors apparently to schizophrenia. So tell me about your issues with paranoia from your BPD please, bc I can handle that a lot better than the other likely options and I can't get in to a doctor until the end of next week
