Today has been particularly worse, I have literally been over-analysing everything anyone has said to me thinking that everyone is angry or being funny with me. I think there is no reason for them to be mad at me, and I know I must just be paranoid it's driving me crazy

I'm getting more and more sucked into this world of paranoia I have no idea if this is normal for anxiety any more. I don't feel safe anywhere, i'm paranoid everyone is out to get me, or that there is someone in my house when I know it's stupid and there can't be. I feel like I need to carry a knife around my own (locked) house, I have to have all the lights on to make sure no one is hiding in the shadows, I hear the slightest noise and my heart pounds and I feel like I'm going to curl up in a ball and cry. I have no idea how I'm supposed to make this better it's effecting every aspect of my life.
