Paranoia

[TormentedNEuphoricMIND]

IS anyone else out there paranoid in an extreme way? Everyone is at least a tiny bit paranoid, it's only human. I have been completely consumed by paranoia since i was about 6 years old. I dont know why or how it happened, but it has plagued me for almost 20 years now and I just wanted to post this to see if anyone feels similar, or to at least share something with you all. Each day whether I am out in the world or experiencing a bit of agoraphobia and keeping myself at home I feel like I am being watched by everyone around me and people that i don't see but I can feel their eyes on me. You know that feeling when you are giving a presentation for class or whatever and as your presenting you can feel their eyes on you? This feeling is how I feel every single day from the moment I wake up until my eyes close at bedtime. Does anyone else feel like this? I know I can't be the only one. There has to be someone else. Please someone feel what i feel live what i live and respond to this. We all have our demons that we carry. If you don't feel this way that what demons do you have?

Sorry I didn't see this before. I have bouts of severe paranoia. Some paranoia is normal for teens and young adults because of developmental phases. But when it's extreme it can be really hard to function. I've had full blown panic attacks in a theater because I expected someone to come at me. This was before that gunman shot those people in a theater. For me, my paranoia is caused by having some stuck parts inside that really do believe that I can control what's around me. Therefore I am hypervigilant and ready to be attacked at any moment.

But yeah, I hear you. It's really tough to be this way.

I can relate. I've been out in public, and feared someone murdering me. It was part of my agoraphobia, before I got over it.

Now, I pretty much take a chance.
