paronoid at self help group

i went to my in person support group yesterday. I usually like it but one girl said sokmething to me and I think I am blowing it all out of prortion and my husband say I am getting paranoid about it. See my T tommorowso will tell her aboutit

I get like that too. I hope you're able to work it out In therapy.

I can get very paranoid very fast on what people say to me.

Best take a few deep breathes and maybe do some reality checking. When people say things to me that get me going I try to think these things:

1) Are they just talking to just to say something, not really thinking about the words they are using.

2) Could they be somewhat knowledgeable of what they were talking about and just making assumptions

3) just using common phrases because they don't know what else to say.

If you can answer yes to any of these, then don't take what was said personally and wait until the next meeting to see if there are any other concerns that come up with this girl.

I know exactly how you feel. My husband tells me that I keep a "jump to conclusions mat" in my wallet at all times.

If you can talk it out with someone else, whether that be your husband, therapist, or another close friend, that always helps for me to insert some kind of sanity check into the situation.

People are typically not out to say malicious things, particularly in a support group I'd imagine. If you could ask her about it next week she'd probably put your mind at ease and clear up the misunderstanding.

thank you for replying all good advise except I do not plan to talk to her again will avoid her
