It's fucking my head in and I can't take it. I'm falling apart..I feel I am..

Paranoia is a nasty thing, so *big hugs* to you. Do you smoke pot? Paranoia is one of the biggest negative side-effects that you can experience from marijuana, so if you do, cutting that out would be a helpful first step.
Obviously, that's not the only cause, though. Mind have an excellent factsheet on paranoia that will help you understand what it is, what may cause it and the treatments available. Read it here - I hope it helps.
I hate illegal drugs:yuck:
and thanks for the site hannah I'll look at home when I have more time:) thank you.
thanks hun *hugs*
Try and see you GP about it or even get him/her to refer to the mental health department at your local hospital.
I've currently got a councillor been disagnosed with
It's not a competition.
And yeah I can definitely relate to the paranoia; when it feels like every set of eyes is watching your every movement waiting for you to mess up and laugh at your expense.
It's weird how people say that illegal drugs cause paranoia which is undoubtably true but since in the main I have stopped using them, it feels like the paranoia has gotten worse. The only time I ever really used to get paranoid when I was using more frequent was during the comedown period.
What I find helps, just remind yourself that that's all it is - paranoia, and really, that you're not that special for everyone to be watching you. Gets me by. Also, I only really get bad paranoia when I'm in an environment I'm not familiar with so if it gets really bad try to stay away from tricky situations.
You said you had a councillor, your best bet is to talk to them.
sometimes i still get the feeling people are talking about me or people are in my house, stuff like that but now i just try to ignore it, thats part of the reason i went on the pills.
but seriously graeme, i'm your friend and i will try to help if you let me:)
