Anxiety :: I Think I Am Paranoid
Something is wrong with me. I can feel it for some time. My wife is noticed, and my kids too. I am under a lot of stress on my job. I work in marketing. Last few months I feel that somebody is constantly watching me. They follow me to work, on vacation everywhere. I think I am paranoid. What should I do?

I am wondering if it is possible for a person who has been diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder to also suffer from a paranoid frantic psychosis, simultaneously? There is a person in my circle of friends, and I am suggesting this is what he is going through. I looked his behaviours up on the web, and this is what I came up with.

View 1 RepliesAnxiety :: Paranoid Personality Disorder
I have a brother with paranoid personality disorder. He was always paranoid as long as I remember. I am 6 years younger then him. Every time when I tried to speak with him he was suspicious about my attentions, it can be rather annoying. But I restrain myself because I am aware of his situation. Since our parents have died he became impossible to talk with. What should I do?
View 2 RepliesStress / Anxiety :: Paranoid And Frustrated With Movement Issues
I am 17 years old, I think it's some anxiety because I get really paranoid and frustrated a lot, especially at when it comes to my boyfriend (I seem to always have something to be mad at him for and he's really not a bad guy). I get angry all the time and convince myself that I have nobody there for me and no friends, so when one bad thing happens in my life, it seems everything comes out at once and makes me even more upset than I should be, and I end up looking crazy for getting so upset at something so small; when people don't know it's a lot more coming out all at once. My mom won't believe that anything is wrong with me, I tell her I think I have anxiety problems and she's just a typical parent in denial: "You don't have that, you're too young, you don't need to be put on meds.." and so on. It takes me an extra hour to hour and a half from when I lay down to actually fall asleep, and when I wake up in the mornings for school, I feel really heavy and don't want to move; which is typical early in the morning, but it seems to be feeling heavier and heavier as the week goes by. I always feel hungry, but as soon as I open my mouth to take a bite, the hunger turns into nausea and I can't eat. I have to force as much down as possible and I end up not being able to finish a kids meal at restaurants. My bones are always aching and I feel like I have to always crack every part of my body: my neck, my back (which by the way, my lower back has crazy pain which makes it uncomfortable when I'm trying to sleep), my knuckles, my toes, and my elbows are feeling the need to be cracked even after I crack them. My muscles always feel tight, I feel like every muscle had stiffened and turned into a knot that won't go away.. My muscles also feel weaker. I do football cheer leading and before a game about 3 weeks ago, I did a split to stretch my hamstrings and when I leaned down into it, a muscle in my lower butt check/upper thigh popped and felt like I tore it... I didn't but to this day, I can't lift my leg all the way anymore and it hurts when I sit for too long. I don't think I'm pregnant, every time I take a test it's negative, and I'm on birth control, and don't have sex that often anyways. My period comes when it's supposed to, but it's crazy light, it's almost like its not there. This past June, I had to go to urgent care to get an IV because I didn't have enough fluids in my body, so my body starting denying water. During that, I didn't have any of these painful symptoms, except I did experience the hunger without eating a few times. Most days I have to get high to force myself to fall asleep at night or to eat something so I don't starve or loss more weight (I've lost about 20 pounds now) but it seems that getting high isn't working that well anymore. My body is really sensitive, I bruise easily and it takes so much longer to heal than it used to. I've researched this on google and it seems that a lot of women have these symptoms, some don't know what it is, but most have been tested for different things and gone to the doctor.... my mom won't take me. Can someone please help? Tell me what could be wrong? What I can do to fix it? If you need more info or anything let me know

I am new to this site and have been having alot of issues as of late. About a year ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Even with medication I was having a hard time with life and due to this was let go from my job. I lost my medication when I lost my insurance. I began to spiral and crashed hard about a month ago. When I get depressed I become self destructive. I started drinking heavily, self harm mutilation, and had an affair with a stripper in which I received oral sex. When I sobered up a bit the guilt got to me so much I had to be hospitalized for suicidal thoughts. I am on new medication (buspar, wellbutrin xl, and remeron) but still have an issue with guilt and anxiety about the affair and possible std I may have gotten. I can't stay out of my head and still have many suicidal thoughts. I broke down and let my wife know what happened, for her part she is mad but willing to work it out. Any advice would help. Also do any of my meds cause horrible stomach cramps?

View 4 RepliesAnxiety :: Fear And Thoughts Of Death Of Loved Ones
I am a girl and I am 21. I'd to know if I suffer from anxiety or maybe it's just a crisis that will soon pass. However,every single day I wake up thinking that another day passed and we all are getting older as a result. I can't stand the idea that one day I will lose my parents. Of course no one wants it but the thing is that I can't control these scary thoughts and whenever I have fun with my parents or close people I unwillingly start to think that one day this day will be just a memory.This is so overwhelming.I can't enjoy even a moment that's why I prefer being alone. The fact that my parents are much older than the parents of my friends makes it even worse. I count days, months, try to see if they have too many wrinkles.It is so unfair to them but I can't help doing it.I love them too much but I get that this is not normal.I used to be a very calm,happy,rational girl but after graduation I don't see the girl I used to be.

View 6 RepliesSocial Anxiety/ Negative Intrusive Thoughts
Ok, so just a short introduction about myself. I'm currently 25, I'm a male with chinese ethnicity. My nickname is Jas. I came from a pretty well-off family (enough to get me my needs and some of my wants) . I have a couple of caring but overprotective parents. I went through my entire "going-to-school" life with them. I graduated with a decent course and was successful in getting my professional licence. Life was really great that time for me, but i think I only felt that way because I was naive back then.
Anyway... As soon as I started working, I left home for good. I went into a different city and started to become an independent person. I was around 21-ish that time. This is when I became conscious of my behaviours and holes within myself. I think, a big part of this is due to me staying with my parents for a very long time, which probably delayed my maturity, but hey, let's not live in the past. Let's focus on what we have right now.
So when I started to become conscious with my own movements, I looked for ways to improve myself - I spent long hours in a day to reflect how my day went, how i behaved in front of other people, etc... When I started, it was really bad - i didn't know how to carry myself in public, people would most often laugh at me. One thing i noticed also is that I craved for attention - I was needy. I didn't know how to construct my thoughts properly. I didn't even know how to know what I feel for a certain scenario. I was really bad that time, trust me... If i write all of them here, this will be a VERY LONG list. Oh well, that was the past. But over time, I was able to get some of the negative traits out. I gained more control over myself now. But there are some that I can't get out:
1. Negative intrusive thoughts - thoughts of people laughing at me... thoughts of people bullying me. It's one that keeps on going my head OVER and OVER again. I have read some of the forums and took the advise to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. yeah it sure helped, but when i'm under pressure, i just lose control of myself. For example, one of the things i'm interested with is music... singing.. playing musical instruments. I could very well do those stuff if i'm alone, but if i'm in front of several people, thoughts like people laughing at me creeps into my mind, then i lose control with myself. I don't know why, but I'm so overwhelmed with my emotions, that I lose control of myself completely.
2. Social anxiety - Back then, I was really afraid of people. I don't know what to do in social gatherings (i was the one who sits in the corner and eats cheese). Soon, of course, i had to face my fear and had to start talking with people. I think i found some success in it. Although, my biggest problem right now i think is approaching groups. it's like i feel fear even before i do anything. I think my reasoning also break down quite easily when i'm under pressure (like for unexpected circumstances/responses...).
