The self-control and paranoia are different entities. I guess I was just expressing concern about both. Right now I feel like it's hard for me to control myself like I used to.

I do validation checks, yes. I'm usually a logical person. I'm hearing the conversations and interpreting them to be about me, though there is no evidence. The medication was helping with these thoughts.
