You need to seek help from someone, even if it's your family doctor.
You may find this helpful
as harsh as this is going to sound, perhaps the best thing you could try telling yourself is "nobody cares" ... if you could convince yourself of that, you'd rationally realize they would not even be bothered "conspiring against you." - i'm sure there are people who care about you but its about changing your thought patterns by telling yourself something like that; and it might help you to get more control over your paranoia.
again though, as has already been said if you are not seeing a professional about your paranoia; may be its one thing you should be considering - even if its just so they can give you drugs to help with your problem. because in response to your question, paranoia can be a mental-illness as well as a mental health problem. but nobody on these boads can advise you as a professional. but we can listen to you if you want to open up on here.
If you feel that your feelings are detramental to your life then go and see your gp, they are usually very understanding and can put you in touch with someone to talk to to help you get back on track
thanks everyone
Understanding paranoia
"hired spies" - wtf?
i'm don't sufer with paranoia or anything, but i do have quite a few issues that need to be dealt with and my gp first of all said there were no counsellors at the surgery (becuase it is a uni gp so they rely on the uni counselling service which i'm not allowed) and that to get counselling on the nhs in this area has a waiting list of upto 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - which is really unfucking believable, and i cannot afford to go private either, but 3 months is hardly any time at all!!!!!
thats the very reaction i was expecting. thanks.... i feel much calmer now :angel:
