Answer 1

First of all you need to stop being so self-absorbed......stop thinking so much about yourself. Paranoia is usually seen in people who think too much about themselves all of the time.......you need to relax and realize that people are not judging you all of the time......and in the end we truly are all the same......start thinking about how you can help others....find a project that interests you.....get involved in your life instead of obsessing about it and worrying about what people think! Realize too that we're all human and it's okay to make mistakes once in awhile.....perhaps you had a parent that was very judgemental and anything you ever did wasn't good enough....if that's the case......hopefully you are out of that situation.....and remember that you are good enough...believe in yourself! Will help with your paranoia......good luck to you!

Answer 2

Paranoia is a psychological disorder that falls under the category of neurosis. This means that it's treatable without drugs, which is good, beacuse it means you can have it treated without seeing a real psychiatrist.

You need to start asking yourself some questions. When did this paranoia start? What are some of the truly difficult things happening in your life right now? Are you doing anything in life that you recognize is physically unhealthy (like drinking too much, taking drugs, not sleeping enough, etc.)?

Most neurotic issues have a root problem that you should be able to identify yourself, if you really try. Chances are, you're stressed out about a personal relationship, or are fearful about a school or career-related issue.

You really should see a mental health professional (psychologist), but I understand that you don't have the money. Just figure out what it is that started making you feel paranoid, and work slowly to figure out how you can change things within yourself to reduce the stresses that are scaring you.

Answer 3

Stop analysing and overthinking things too much.

You really need a personal "mantra" - some inspirational quote or statement that you can calmly repeat to yourself whenever you're starting to get paranoid or doubt yourself.
You can always be positive and say "I'm not paranoid, just overly cautious." ;) hehehe

If it's becoming a big enough problem that it's starting to interfere with your everyday life, I would have to suggest seeing a psychiatrist or some kind of counseling. Usually, paranoia stems from a lot of self-doubt or an underlying fear of something.

Answer 4

Try "self talk".
Actually saying aloud to yourself "tomorrow is going to be a great day. I won't care what other people think. I'm going to have fun!"
I swear, it's the only way to deal when you have to money for therapy. Though there should be something run by the government for you...you should really check into it.
Say also that "I'm cute", "I'm smart", or "I'm sexy", all day long. Build yourself up. Then you won't care what others are saying, because the truth of it is that most people couldn't care about you at all! They don't know you, and are not concerned with you one way or another. Dress nice for you. Put on make-up for YOU! Feel good for you!

Answer 5

Most counties have a free clinic where you can get counseling. Often judges order people to go to these county run clinics for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. It runs off tax dollars and is a community service. Check you phone book for the phone number. They may ask you to get medicaid, a state run insurance thing, if you don't work or do not get benefits at work. The place you go to get that is usually next door to the free mental health clinic.

Answer 6

the best way to deal with paranoia is to confront it. find out what is making you paranoid. Write it down and deal with one thing at a time do not make yourself overwhelmed.

The best thing to do is find out what triggers the symptons once you know that you will able to help yourself


The only thing anger will lead to stupidy and boy I have done some stupidity things and it can lead to depression as well as other things.

Ready, watch, tv, listening to music, walk, get your mind fuctioning.

I know because i've been seeing a therapist and this is exactly pretty much what she said, I just gave you the nicer version she gave me, because I told her i didn't want to be coddled.

Answer 7

I am bipolar and obsessive compulsive and there are times that i become extremely paranoid. Sometimes I feel like people are out to get me, even following me in thier cars when i don't know them at all. Sometimes I hear two or more people talking about someone and i automatically assume that it is about me. It makes my heart beat fast and i get a sinking feeling. I think what helps me might help you. Whenever i begin to feel paranoid, i have to stop and think. I remind myself that i am just like everyone else around me. RATIONALIZE everything. No one would want to follow me in their car because there is NO reason. What are the odds of it? Close to none. No one (especially strangers) would be talking about me because there is NO reason to. You have to take your fears and rationalize them like i do. Here's a quote for you, "Be yourself, because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss. I hope i've helped you and goodluck!

Answer 8

Hey Gypsy,

If it's really affecting your life that seriously, you need to see someone with the professional training that can help you like a counselor or a psychiatrist. There is no shame in that at all.

Best wishes to you.

Answer 9

I was the same, until my mother dragged me to the doctor, even though I thought the doctor was trying to kill me, I was that paranoid. I had been feeling paranoid for years but got slowly worse until I couldn't even leave the house without feeling anxious and scared. Get help now, seriously. I started taking medication and that worked like magic. It sounds like you need medication as well. Good luck
