I have trouble sleeping because of it,I have alway's had headaches with negative catscan results . i isolate myself from the ouside world as much as possible because i am alway's questioning peoples motives, actions etc.I keep all my windows and doors locked with no windows exposed to the ouside.I alway's feel as though someone is watching me or going to try and hurt me in some way.I feel that i'm different in a kind of supernatural way.I feel comfortable living in a fantasy world .I have alway's thought i have some kind of hidden powerthat i haven't found yet.There is so much more that i could tell but i guess this is enough to get started . Someone please help me i feel that i am going crazy if i'm not already there.

an answer to a couple questions:Yes i have seen a psychologist(several) and most of the time i have been wrongly diagnosed because they don't look at the whole picture they only look at and treat the trauma of being sexually abused at age 9 by my step father.I know it's connected to my problems but it's not the whole picture.also,I don't take any drugs prescription or anything else.

Answer 1

since you asked, I'd suggest you get to a psychologist and ask why children under 5 continually ask the question "why". it might be synonymous with your situation as you might have experienced trauma at that same age and can work thru it.
Maybe you don't need to know the answers to all those "whys".

Could be you're taking some prescription drug or otherwise that does not agree with you, or could be you have an alergy of some kind. Or lack of a certain vitamin or mineral. There are many things for you to check out.

Answer 2

In regards to the psyhcologists' diagnoses, you complain "..but they don't know the whole story.." Well, why not? Why don't you tell them everything? It's the only way they can help you. Don't be embarrassed, and you must be brutally honest with them. Trust me: they've heard it all before; you are not going to"shock anyone." Your symptoms sound like classic PTSD, which most people think of as a "combat-related psych disorder, but in fact can result from ANY trauma, i.e. you childhood molestation. I would bet you that you also notice everything when you are out in public: like a sensory overload? Sounds are too loud? You hate to have someone behind you? This is called "hypervigilance" and is also a classic PTSD symptom. Go back to a therapist and teel the whole story.Don't forget to mention ALL your symptoms.

Answer 3

In order for that to happen, we should be able to completely discard our ego since even a trace of egoistic influence would always run the risk of troubling our mind sometime or the other. I do personally believe that we are not capable of so completely getting rid of all egoistic influence permanently, perhaps because the very fact that our soul is bound by our body so long as we are living in it is a kind of imperfection for our soul and it is this imperfect condition of the soul that allows suffering to affect us. We can of course minimize our ego progressively through spirituality or even mind strengthening exercises like meditation, yoga etc., but never really get it to zero so long as we are living this human life. The ancient Indian philosophy does talk of this whole physical universe and the living beings here within it as the imperfect 'Maya' ( illusory reality) so that there are always two sides to the coin and nothing is either perfect or absolute. Minimizing my ego has been my long time goal, but to tell you the truth, I am finding it really too difficult and elusive!!

Answer 4

have you considered, why you? of all the other potential victims out there why you? what are the odds that something will happen to you? When you see your neighbors or friends do you not wonder how they have made it this far without anything happening, or has something happened that has caused an over protective fear to come over you?

Try to be logical about this and try talking to your friends and family, you need reassurance that nothing will happen.

Answer 8

It seems as if you are having some anxiety issues. You are focused on your fears. You give them too much energy, almost to the point of paranoia.
A wise man once said "You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think about you, if you knew how seldom they did." What he meant was that most often, people are too self-absorbed to worry about your problems.
We all have a little social anxiety. Some of us have more than others. We all want to be noticed, respected, admired, and have the approval of others. Everybody wants that.
It would be a mistake to assume that we would never get those things from others, or that we automatically deserve those things from others.
It helps to focus on what's good or right, rather than what's bad and wrong. It also helps to pay more attention to others.
What I mean by that, is to notice other people, and the effort they make to get noticed. Notice the effort they make to get noticed. Notice how they seek admiration, respect, and approval.
When you isolate yourself from others and have little interaction, you have more time to focus on yourself. And if you focus on yourself too much, you start to become too self-absorbed. You start to make everything about you, when it's really not.
No one cares about your problems any more than you care about theirs. Sorry if that sounds harsh, which is not my intent.
Too little interaction starts to alter your perception. We all perceive things differently, but it would be a mistake to assume that just because we perceived something to be one way, that doesn't mean that it was meant to or intended to be portrayed that was. It would be a mistake to hold someone responsible for oour perceptions sometimes.
For example, some African Americans are comfortable being referred to as black, or people of color. Others prefer to be referred to as African American. Since you can't automatically know, you should ask. And they should not choose to feel offended at your question. It would be a mistake for them to assume that you meant to offend them, or that you intended to insult them. See what I mean?
We all have this pesky little tendency to think that we are smarter than everyone else, that our views are correct, and that our priorities are more important than anyone else's. This is called Self-Preservation. It would be a mistake to try to convince others to see things our way. We should respect their views, and seek to understand them. We should also accept them. That is called empathy. Empathy is the antidote, or the thing that keeps our self-preservation in check. Empathy also allows us to relate and connect to others.
So stop focusing on your own fears, your own doubts, your own discomfort or intimidation. Don't be so quick to judge the intentions and motives of others.
When someone pulls out in front of you in traffic, it may not be due to their lack of consideration for other drivers. It could be because they simply didn't see you coming.
The way to find out about people, and what their true intrntions are, is to get out of the house and find out.
It may sound difficult or even impossible to become an extrovert, but it is not as hard as it seems. All it takes is a little effort on your part. What you need to do is to is to give others what you want for yourself.
As I already mentioned, we all want to be notived, admired, and to have the approval of others. So you go out there, and you notice people. Smile at everyone you pass, and you'll see that it is contagious. Make eye contact with those that smile back.
When you are waiting in line somewhere, and you are next to people, give a compliment or make a positive observation. If you don't know them, then that's ok if it is superficial. Tell them you like their shoes, their glasses, their hairstyle, or something else you noticed.
Then, you follow up with a question. This shows respect and your interest in them. You are catering to those things that all people want. Judging by their reaction to your compliment, or how they answer your question, you now have some more information as to what motivates them. That gets you a steo or two closer to learning about their true intentions. And all it took was a little effort on your part.
If you continue to focus on yourself all the time, and of you continue to assume things about other people, then you will drive yourself crazy.
If you are having trouble trying to look at things from another perspective, or if you are having trouble getting the focus off yourself, then you might see a counselor.
A psychaitrist would probably use meds to treat your anxiety. Shrinks believe that most of our psychological issues and physiological, that's why they have an MD.
A psychologist does not have an MD, and they believe that most of our psychological issues are emotional, and that we latch onto coping skills that come naturally, even if they are self-destructive. They help us discover newer and better coping skills by talking with us, and they help us realize our options.
You should realize that you have all the power and resources you need to help yourself find peace and happiness. We all do the best we can with what we know. The more we know, the better we do.
One of the superpowers you have that you might not even know about is that you have the power to influence people.
If you hide from people and don't talk to people, you have the power to make them think you are unfriendly and indifferent. They may not realize that you are actually uncomfortable and intimidated in soial situations.
But you also have the power to make someone;s day, to make someone feel good about themself, and to put someone at ease. You do that by noticing them, breaking the ice, and building rapport.
Since we all have social anxiety to some degree or other, we just need to remember that everyone wants the same things from others.
Dale Carnegie writes books that help salespeople break the ice and build rapport with potential customers. One of my favorites is How To Win Friends And Influence People. You might want to check it out.
The world out there can be mean, cruel, and harsh. Some people might put others down to boost themselves. But some people are kind, generous, compassionate, and empathetic.
You won't know who's who unless you get out there and find out for yourself.
The key to happiness and fulfillment is no big secret. Happiness and fulfillment is a mater of getting what we want. All those thinks I mentioned before And the best way to put the odds in your favor, is to give those things freely to others, without exception or expectation.
Think how good it feels when you hold the door to let an elderly person with a walker enter the store. Think about how good it feels to make someone laugh or smile. Think about how good it feels to donate to charity.
You are not crazy, you are just a little to self-absorbed. You should share your persoanlity with the world. No matter what you feel you lack, or what little you feel you have to offer, there are those that will appreciate you and see things about you that you don't see or realize.
Take care!
