Hi Cyborg,

Read your post and could not help thinking that maybe you are having a hard time trusting? (Which is different than being paranoid.)It may be that you were hurt by people in the past and are a little scared to be that hurt again.

It may be too, that it is only a misunderstanding.

The voices you hear may be just yourself telling you that you need more time with your therapist. It is so normal to think about your anxiety and then try in different ways to fix it (all inside your mind).It helps so much to be talking it outward to someone else that you can trust.

Maybe you could tell your therapist that you need more time with him/her. You could up your appointments to twice a week, being a few days apart.

Sometimes i even worry that the people in chat are all my mental health people hiding out as normal people so they can spy on me.

This may be because they sound familiar to you, as they have had expierences similar to yours. (Which is what the word "relating" means.) I am always surprised when I can talk about something and someone else understands what I am feeling.

Thou each of us has had different experiences that have hurt us, the feelings we have all seem to merge somewhere.

I would not call you paranoid at all. Being cautious over the internet is normal too, and that is not paranoia, it is just good common sense.

Hope you try to up your appointments with the therapist, as it sounds like you are doing too much thinking alone about what is bothering you.

Take Care.
