I don't know if I'm paranoid or if there is something else going on, but I have become extremely worried about stuff. We put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, and I think we've only plugged it in once because I'm deathly afraid it's going to catch on fire. Same thing with the oven. I have been making cookies, and I only do a couple dozen at a time because I'm afraid if I leave it on too long, it will catch on fire. I won't drive behind a semi, cause I can picture the trailer falling off the hitch. I guess this stuff all revolves around ways I can die, but do you think it's paranoia or something else?

It could be mild paranoia. I'm like that sometimes, thinking of everything that could go drastically wrong. Plug in your Christmas tree, if only for a few minutes, just to show yourself that it is not dangerous. I know that these feelings aren't comfortable, so I hope you feel better soon!

I about had a heart attack this morning when, after I made a couple batches of cookies, I threw lunch in the oven since it was already on, and the smoke detectors started going off.

I think this is more anxiety than paranoia. Paranoia is when you think someone like the FBI or CIA are watching you.

I agree, prolly anxiety but it could also be mild OCD. We can't say for sure, just making guesses

Yeah, Idie. I thought maybe a touch of OCD too. I have that mildly but not enough for a diagnosis.
