I'm sorry that you're experiencing paranoia. Could you not drop group therapy for the time and participate in individual therapy instead? I just don't see that participating in something that is so troublesome for you is very productive. Have you talked with your pdoc about this? Maybe there is some med that would help eliviate some of the paranoia feelings. I can't imagine how terribly frightening this must be for you and I don't think you should be forced to do something that is so uncomfortable, above all you must "feel" safe. ((((((((Lexicon))))))
