I have lately taken to talking to it for a few hours a day.

Before xmas it way over the top, but come the new year my paranoia has been put in a new light.

It's bigger and smaller, but not nearly as scary.

It's difficult really is, I usually shut down. However when I do deal with it I have to tell myself that it's not real over and over again.

I try not to let it get to me. The thoughts that everyone is out to get me or put me down seem to be the hardest. Especially when things happen to reaffirm it. Like a union man telling me that the union is going to file a grievance against me to prevent me from getting my certification. Or the NRA telling me that I'm a monster and shouldnt be able to own a gun because I'm a danger to society.

Other things like getting jumpy and my heart racing anytime I'm driving and see flashing or even jittering lights, for fear its the police, I dont think I'll ever overcome. Got pulled over again the other day, and even tho I knew the cop was coming and why, I was still shaking uncontrollably when he asked for my license and registration.

I try to pretend it's not there.......it only works 2/10. My husband helps 100% by letting me vent and then he helps me come back to reality (if I haven't flown off the wall by him not "recognizing" my feeling). It is a daily struggle really.

Noise canceling headphones help sometimes but if it gets really bad I take a PRN med. It's an internal fight for the person going through but helps when you have love around you to remind you that you are still lovable.
