Anyone else struggle with paranoia?

Oh definitely every day. I really struggle with peoples interpretation of me and so I feel like they hate me for no reason when in reality that’s my own mind thinking that. I’m also paranoid about what I say to people because I feel like I might share too much.therefore my fear of reputation comes in check. It’s hard but you know I just let things be.

Yes

Me, during one of my false mem ocd episodes i became paranoid of everyone..and myself mainly tbh

I would say so yes . I have this extreme fear where I am going to go schizophrenia or intrusive thoughts are not my own but hallucinations , etc. This extreme hypochondria sometimes has me hyper aware and my fear becomes irrational. Lets just say it inches into paranoia territory but it is driven by anxiety and inability to control my thoughts ( no one can but that is what us ocd sufferers hate) .

Yes. Mine is about health. I dont have health issues but every little twinge sends me into a panic.

Paranoia and irrational fear can be labeled as two different things . In my mind I know I’m being irrational … it’s just that little seed of “ what if “ doubt that keeps the cycle going .
