How do you know if you have a paranoia disorder?

Question

i am always flipping out and always think someone is going to try to kidnap/rape me.
in public places have to be with someone i know; i cant walk 10 feet away from who im with.
in school, i even have to get a friend to walk up with me to sharpen my pencil/throw something away because im scared someone will come in the class and get me.
at home, the slightest noise will make my flip out & almost start crying because i think im going to die.
i keep knives on me constantly [only at home tho] to 'protect' myself
my parents think im psyco & think im just being 'sillly' and arent really scared
if im in the dark [even if other people are with me] i will start crying uncontrobally.
im scared of 'kiddy touchers' [as i call them] because all starangers to me are kiddy touchers.

idk if this has anything to do with anything but i always have to pee [i probally pee more than 15 times a day]

&&im only 13
is there something wrong with me?

nice answers only, please

if i am on a walk with my friends and a car drives by, i will flip the f.u.c.k. out and want to go back to my house/their house.
if someone i dont know is staring at me; i think they are going to try to do something so i will go hide behind someone i know so they cant see me

Answer 1

Paranoia or anxiety disorders are mental illnesses. The causes are mostly not known, but it is NOTHING you or your parents could prevent (if you do have it). Most mental illnesses are chemical imbalances in the brain.

No one here can diagnose your concerns online. Talk to your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, your doctor, school counselor, a teacher, the school prinicpal, or other adults--starting with those you trust the most to get through to your parents. Don't stop asking for help until they take you to a doctor. There are doctors and special counselors who can test you to see if there is a problem. There are many new medicines that can help people with these illnesses.

Good luck to you-- I am praying for you.
