This is Psycho Sam coming at you from planet Niburu. I think I posted a thread a few weeks ago about paranoia. I have been attending a dbt group for several months. The therapist got me to openly discuss some situations that had recently occurred in which I was terribly paranoid. It's very unlike me to openly discuss mental issues around other people, but I said what the heck because the people in the group have had enough time to figure out that I'm a lunatic. Anyway, the therapist got to use my examples for some shite and giggles a few times the next couple of sessions for some good humor.

Anyway, I expressed how I felt that everyone else in the group were either law enforcement, fbi, or some kind of governing body following me to find just some little mess up to bury me with. Besides that, comments people make in the group sometimes seriously make me think they are privy to my personal information such as banking account, or that I have a hidden camera in my cable box, or my phone is hacked and everything I say in my home is being monitored, and the list goes on. Example, I purchased me a small book about dbt a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday at group, one of the other members mentioned he had received his book. My first thought and a constant recurring thought is he has access to my bank account and has seen my purchase of the book.

This kind of crap is driving me absolutely more nuts than I already am. Besides that, this guy and me have been trying to talk up an awesome spring fishing expedition, but how can I do it and have fun if I will be freaked out the whole time that this guy is monitoring all of my behavior.

So, does anyone else suffer from this same type of paranoia feelings? Is it part of my bipolar, am I a complete psychotic lunatic, or both?

Oh, my psych doctor was going to place me on I think it may have been an ap, but my cholesterol trikes were over 1000 which is astronomically high and the medicine is also bad on the trikes, so she is holding off on the med until my gp sends results from my regular 3 month blood test scheduled for next week.

Does anyone know if ap meds help with paranoia? Am I bipolar with paranoid schizno also? Am I just shot out?

Can I get a ride to the space station to live out my dying days in solidarity?

My AP helps a lot with the paranoia. It takes time to completely get over it. I still get occasional blips that I'm still monitored but they pass.

Can you drop me off at the closes planet on yer way to the space station?

I think you should try the AP...definitely. I would go nuts thinking everyone was out to get me like that. But it happens! A good and strong AP should help.
