I have PTSD/anxiety along with bipolar so im trying to figure out what's causing this. I went to my elderly grandparents house for a late christmas with my older brother (theyre almost 90.) I was paranoid each time i left the room that they were talking against me and taking me out of the will. It didnt help when nobody said anything when i would walk back into the room. My grandpa has alzheimers or dementia though so he doesnt say anything and i dount people were conspiring against me. Also, when my stepdad didnt text me back when i said "hope you have a good day." I immediately thought both my parents were addicted to painkillers and it took me a day or two to get that thought out of my head. At my grandparents i laid in the basement crying for no reason for 2 hours yesterday, then after a 2 1/2 hr drive home i broke down crying at home. Im not very depressed, but not manic either. However, I do feel like doing things more, such as reading or even just playing a video game. Im not just laying on the couch staring at the ceiling anymore. I dont like feeling this paranoid. Ive never really felt this paranoid except with my conspiracy theories, but i gave them up 2 weeks ago. I just stopped believing them.

Is there any truth to the things you were paranoid about?

I'm sorry you're having this experience.
 You mentioned you struggle with anxiety. And I see you list yourself as living in the Midwest. If the weather where you live is anything like where I live, then it's been crummy lately. Add to that the stress most people experience over the holidays & perhaps the paranoia you're having is a result of a lot of pent-up anxiety.  The other thing that occurs to me is that you mentioned you gave up your conspiracy theories 2 weeks ago. Perhaps you've simply transferred the paranoia you were channeling into your conspiracy theories into other areas such as your visit to your grandparents' home. Of course, I don't know.  I'm just throwing out some ideas here. Under any circumstances, I hope you are able to find a way to calm the paranoid thoughts you're having. I'm sure they're difficult for you to tolerate.
