How do you learn how to trust. My paranoia is stopping me from having trust with anyone. I have to meet the right people. Has anyone had this problem? I mean I didn't trust my parents at one point.

My main symptom is paranoia, I think I have bi polar with psychosis. Ii only trust about 7 people in my life and they are sick of my paranoid scenerios. So who do I talk too. One day I can wake up and I feel fine, then there's days where I can't leave the house because of my paranoia. It really sucks. What should I do? I'm such a good person but when I cycle it makes me look like such a self centered piece of ****.

All I wanna do is go get a sand which without thinking people are out to get me.

Is it necessary to trust? I mean - who can be trusted? Maybe it's more useful to be able to interpret situations and people, to understand what's happening? Without putting yourself in troublesome situations. Keep yourself safe. And consider the people who seem reliable, considerate.

I know, I've isolated so long that I have nobody. My trust issues are dampered by my worthless past. I'm 36 and I never learned until now. I'm finally taking control of this condition. I have so much built that it took me to the age of 36 to realize it. Rose you are exactly right, I've isolated and self medicated to the point where I couldn't see it. I couldn't see it because of my drug abuse. I feel so guilty that I'm 36 and on disability. I think its the isolation and depression along with bi polar. I just fear that I'm schizophrenic, and all from adderall. It really is sad.
