I'm sitting here at 11:50pm wanting and needing bed but can't cause I'm paranoid. I'm sitting with 2 lights on and talking out loud to keep myself going. I can't talk to people on FB cause none of my actual friends are online. What do I do? I'm jumping at any slight noise

I don't know what to say lol.... other than I hear noises. I think I'm going to get broken into. I spoke to my worker last week about this exact thing. I know it could happen but I'm unsure what to do with all my thoughts. Being scared to go to sleep is ridiculous I know. I just can't stop stressing

I'm sorry that's happening !! It has happened to me in the past and honestly nothing calmed me down or got me to sleep, but trying to work past the paranoia is what my doctor told me to do .. like trying to reason with yourself that the things happening can't be real.

Problem is it could happen which makes it harder to reason with the mind.
I'm listening to music to calm myself down I'm so sleepy. Looks like it's gonna be a long night |

Can you use self grounding ? Mindfulness is really effective for paranoia.
So sorry your dealing with this , keep posting * hugs*

Is playing a meditation video (Guided Imagery maybe) on youtube something you're open to? You can even type in "Meditation for Anxiety", and there is a selection. I was struggling with the same problem for several months, and it's just starting to get better, but I have my bad nights. I listen to the encouraging, comforting words and music to try to bring the attention away from those thoughts as much as possible, and to try to slow down my heart rate and take some deep breaths.

I eventually got to sleep last night. I did put on guided meditation on YouTube and I slept with a light on. I kept getting up and checking my front door to make sure it was locked. Hoping tonight won't be the same
