ever since i was a kid ive been super paranoid. to this day (im 23 years old) I cant go to sleep or take a shower without checking the closet first. When I was a kid I used to lay in bed and worry that people would break in and murder me while I slept. I was worried about hidden cameras in bathrooms before they were making cameras small enough to hide. I still worry about people breaking in, and I hate going outside at night. I never watched scary movies as a kid and i still dont. I was super sheltered so where are these ideas coming from....what makes me so paranoid?

Your fear specific things and take specific actions to prevent them from happening. The fear is unwarrented, of course as are the actions you take to prevent the bad things from happening.
Popular thinking holds that the brain is corrupted very much in the same way computers are corrupted by viruses. The virus demands attention from the computer's rescourses and slowly the hard disc becomes useless.
My guess is that when you were little, you saw something, experienced something unimaginably aweful. And that every illogical thing that you do now is intendended to keep you from remembering that thing. That's the way I see it. Exersices the imagination, that's for sure!
How does medication work for you? Have you tried it? If so far all you've been getting is unsatisfactory results, you might wan't to consider the older MAO inhibitors. They are very powerful and have their side effects, and you have to follow a strict diet - no wine and no cheese. If you can handle that, they will work and they won't do permanant damage. And best of all, no more super paranoia!

Some one instilled that into you. I am the same way, well not as bad anymore about that. But now I have panic and anexty attacks. You were sheltered when you were younger, and you never really got to experence the "real world". Plus with all the B/S that is going on in this world, it is no wonder.
