And that's the issue here. I do have paranoia, e.g. today I was certain a person was staring at me with the intention of killing. My head was overwhelmed with the thoughts and feeling that the guy was imagining the scenarios of doing horrible things with me, and when presented the chance, would've done this.
I was scared so much, and I feel that the fear is still affecting me. I also think that men want to either sleep with me or hate me/want to do me harm etc. i have no hallucinations, well at least that I would know of (how would I know btw.?) ,no voices whatsoever. I'm not sure if this diagnosis is valid without these symptoms.
