Paranoia

Does anyone know how to deal with it. Mixed with anxiety making through a day seems next impossible. Everyone is out to get me. My support I even thought was going behind my back to laugh. I'm starting to think professors and my boss, are going to turn on me. Even my wife I think she up to something when I have absolutely no proof. Why would they do this? It makes no sense. I can't be rational. When it gets bad I can't maintain.

Hi meape,

I went through a bout of paranoia, not trusting anyone. It really stinks. But you seem to be aware you are not rational. I would suggest you contact your pdoc as soon as possible as you can end up psychotic. During my paranoia I was only in touch with a friend who lived abroad as I did not trust anyone near me. Thankfully she was eventually able to convince me to go see my pdoc. He put me on anti-psychotics which averted a full blown mania, thankfully. It is not realistic nor true to think everyone has turned against you, so please take the right steps, before you react to what is not there!
Take care and let me know how you are doing!
Hang in there!

I do hope you will contact your pdoc to see about a med adjustment before things get any worse. I don't know of any other ways to combat paranoia...maybe someone else will have some ideas. Hang in there!!
