I was having really bad racing thoughts last week. It's still kind of bad, but I have been trying to fly under the radar and hope nobody notices. Words seem to by flying out of my mouth with ease though, so the impulsivity is kind of an issue, but I am trying to keep it contained the best that I can.

One thing that I did notice is that I am slightly more guarded and suspicious.
Somebody at work asked me a simple question about where I live. I came to realize that she lives close to me. I might be weird in the sense that I don't like a lot of people knowing where I live. She kept asking me questions, like where I went to school growing up and things like that. I found myself only halfway telling the truth, because I am feeling a bit paranoid. I am not someone that lies, and I am usually pretty open, and I feel bad about it.

I don't really know how to deal with this kind of paranoid thoughts. Although there's a part of me that knows my thoughts are irrational, it doesn't change the fact that I feel super uncomfortable when people at work know too much about these kinds of things. There's also this weird fear of people searching for info on me, and I like to hide. Can anyone relate to this on some level?
