I have noticed it before, but I guess because I am trying to more aware of what I am feeling and why, I have noticed I become semi-paranoid or just paranoid. On my walk today, I had the feeling for the longest time that I was being followed, but there of course was no one behind me.
For years, I would get that feeling, but usually only when I was driving, when car was behind me. Especially if it happened to be making the same turns. I'd get real up tight, and the feeling would persist long after the car continued on, after I made a turn. It's a little un-nerving. |

Paranoia was what tipped my doctor off to the fact that I was bipolar. So, I know what you mean. I have been convinced that everyone is watching and judging me. I didn't really even notice how it started to affect things like how I dress and act. I began to wear dark baggy clothes, not go out unless I was with someone, and tried and be as inconspicuous as possible and blend into the scenery. Once I started to feel better I realized how much I had changed. I seriously thought that the paranoia was normal. My moods are really pretty stable, the anxiety is getting easier to control, but that darned paranoia still hangs on. I keep telling myself that it isn't real, but how do you convince yourself of that when you find out that there are people judging you?

Yeah, that's another part of it. I feel that I am continually being judged on every thing.

I am so paranoid, alot. More than I care to be, about the little and big things. I don't like it, I feel vulnerable. Just don't know how to stop feeling this way!

my pdoc increases my Abilify. It helps. I'm trying to get along on a lower dosage but sometimes I need to bump it up again for a few weeks to get the paranoia down.--Suzy

I get paranoia but it comes and goes.Sometimes im friendly and it easy to talk to anybody about anything then other time paranoia gets the best of me and im scared of my own shadow or thinking thats everyone is out to get me im ready to fight anyone for any reason like my life depends on. I guess thats what turns people off about me you never know who you are going to get infact I dont either which get become a real bummer.

When my mood is up, I do get paranoid! I have always been that way to an extent. My doctor put me on invega (which is normally for shizo) to control mood swings. I like this medication so far and I am also taking lithium, Zoloft,and the occasional Klonopin!

Oh my gosh... I just got grumpy at my BF for "judging me!!" a couple days ago.
 My sleep's messed up, I haven't been going to school, but in some ways I can still function. I picked up my eldest's friend today, as planned. Took all 4 kids to my eye dr. check-up. That was... um... not too wise.   But it was okay. I got a year's worth of contacts because I got a rebate and figured I'd never have to buy them for a year. Not TOO expensive. Each pair lasts a month. They are much more confortable. But in the back of my mind I go "You are spending money again...!" I keep worrying my boyfriend will want to break up with me soon. Either that, or I decide he's not for me and *I* should.... I guess its all BP talking.

Abilify helps my paranoia, too. I used to get super paranoid but since the Abilify has been added, I haven't been getting it as often or as intense.
Paranoia stinks. |

I've noticed a big increase in my paranoia within the last 6 months. I can't put my finger on why its happening, but it makes me feel very uneasy. Thanks for bringing this up, think I'll talk to my T about it Thursday.

Abilify has helped my paranoia also. I hated thinking everyone was judging me or watching me. The only time I didn't feel that way was when I was depressed and that was cause I didn't even care lol.
