Paranoia

>>18046844
exercise

maybe sleep not on coil array

dont drink so much sugar

>>18046860
I try to walk or jog everyday. I'll try reducing my sugar intake and see if that helps.

>>18046844
Stop being such a fag.

Well, and this would be bad advice for most people with paranoia because it would usually exacerbate the problem, but I smoke cannabis. When I smoke, I relax and then become autistically fixated on things like physics, or time, or economics, or 1980s TV commercials, and it completely distracts me from the things I'm paranoid about.

Again, highly DON'T recommend others try that because it'll most likely make it way worse. Before I started smoking taking 25mg diphenhydramine would calm me down when I started to get too paranoid.

>>18046871
I hope you aren't this rude irl.

once you have these things happen your not worried about it. Only thing that scares me is a prison life.

I have been robbed, jumped, and had near death experiences. You find out you don't care what happens a life in fear isn't worth living.

all feelings are temporary bud, this too shall pass.

The best way to get out of my own head is to help someone else, be it listening to their problems or making them coffee or just doing something. answer someone elses question on a malaysia stealth picture board.

>>18046844
I posted a thread about this topic a while ago and the best answer I got was:
Breathe. Never forget to breathe.

It helped so much. I get the same thoughts about what-if scenarios at night, and was constantly looking over my shoulder, looking out the window, etc. And whenever I would turn of all the lights and go to my bedroom, I would practically sprint there and close the door as quickly as possible. So what I did was breathe. I would breathe and make myself calm. I stopped running to my bedroom. I stopped looking over my shoulder. I breathed.

And it works. It really does.

Good luck, OP.

>>18046844
>I am always nervous and suspicious of the things around me. I rarely feel safe

Lol.

Things that didn't help:
>6 years of therapy with 3 different specialists
>1 year of antidepressants at increasingly high doses
>Christianity

What somewhat helped:
>6 years of antipsychotics

No overlap in the above, by the way. Tried them all at different times.

i would say it is healthy to "not trust"... even Jesus did not "trust" to a certain extent

however you don't want to be evil, or hurt people... and often with paranoid people it, that hurting comes by false accusations (i myself am very guilty, i think?)

9Be broken,d you peoples, and be shattered;e
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
10Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
speak a word, but it will not stand,
for God is with us.f

Fear God, Wait for the Lord

11For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12“Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”

16Bind up the testimony; seal the teachingg among my disciples. 17I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? 20To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. 21They will pass through the land,h greatly distressed and hungry. And when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will speak contemptuously againsti their king and their God, and turn their faces upward. 22And they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish. And they will be thrust into thick darkness.

That is one of the best bible verses.

>>18046844
Buy a gun.

I grow the fuck up, realize I am not important at all in the grand scheme of the universe, not even in the grand scheme of the world. Helps me realize that no one gives enough of a shit to stalk me, kill me, or whatever.

>>18046844
Have you tried benzos? Or if you want to go the other route and amplify that shit try taking massive amounts of amphetamine and staying up for three or four days straight.

>>18048599
That sounds dangerous

>>18046844
Anyone else feel like they're constantly being watched? Not like Truman Show watched, but I feel like something is keeping an eye on me, judging me. Not sure if paranoia, but closest thing I could relate it to.

>>18046844
the brah's really being stalked, though

>>18048645
He has had that kind of anxiety and paranoia before that though, but yeah I know he has been followed or stalked at least a few times now. I hope things work out for him, but in general I can definitely relate to how paranoid he can be in general.

Nah, it's perfectly safe. They give that shit to children. In fact that's the most reliable source for them. If anyone asks you why you're hanging out at elementary schools, assure them you are trying to get laid, you just want some happy funtime feel good pills.

>>18048660
>*aren't

>>18046844
Whatever you do don't get on "medication". To an extent such feelings are normal, as historically we haven't always been as safe as we are now. What you need to do is become less weak, maybe carry a weapon so you know you can defend yourself. We humans haven't fought with our claws for a long time, it's not cowardly to use tools, but you should become physically fit as well so you know you can always rely on your body.

Your mind is being creative coming up with these scenarios, but they derive from an overall negative outlook. You should start eating healthy, sleeping regularly, and most importantly exercising. The ease of modern life really fucks with our system, you need to exert yourself to release oxytocin and produce a proper level of hormones. A whole host of psychological issues have arisen in modern times due to us not living the type of life we're evolved to live. Think on that last statement and see where you can make changes, and eventually you'll start to feel the difference.

>>18046844
Realize that there is literally nothing tof stop your death. That all of your worry means absolutely nothing to the universe. That everything you're worried about is habitual and you could die as you're reading this post of an aneurysm.
Your paranoia means nothing to natural selection and pure chance.

>>18048660
heh good old AC.

used to hang out with Tim every once in a while back in the day.

shame putnam was too deep into the drugs guy was fun the couple times I've me him.

>>18048674

This, acceptance of your mortality compels you to be productive; even if that productivity only serves your paranoia it's better than just sitting around nervously all the time

Paranoid that people are hearing my thoughts. It gets worse when I do pot of course....I was thinking about moving somewhere secluded, I am much happier being isolated.

>>18048675
Wait, you hung out with Tim? But isn't he really, really gay?

>>18048672
Thanks anon I take that sort of advice to heart. I'll remember this post

>>18048681
it did tickle more when he had his beard lol

>>18046878
Second. I recommend doing a little after drinking mint tea, or smoke then drink chamomille tea. The latter option may make you drowsy due to the sedative effects of chamomille.

>>18048166

Unimportant people get stalked, attacked, and murdered everyday.

>>18046867
No real exercise. Run a mile every other day and every week, focus on improving your time a few seconds. Great for your body and mind.

Eat healthier. Avoid anything processed or packaged, try to only eat fresh meats, produce, and grains

>>18046878

Weed gives me too much anxiety and makes me paranoid. If I smoke weed I need a klonopin or xanax to enjoy it.

>>18048705
Cuz you're a weak bitch and don't know how to smoke weed.

i smoke a ton of weed

I'm in the same boat, except my paranoia is warranted. The following has helped me considerably:
>Do no divulge personal problems/secrets to coworkers or anyone other than a very close friend
>Carry a means of self defense at all times (I always carry a stun gun)
>Lock your car doors as soon as you get back into your car

The first tip is more of social damage control, as I've climbed the corporate ladder through networking since most people like me and no one has any dirt on me (I even deactivated my facebook), but the other two are habits I picked up from living in a city. It's all good during the day, but after dark all kinds of shady fuckers come out. I literally cannot go to the gas station after dark without weird motherfuckers trying to chat me up.

>>18048706
I've probably smoked it longer than you've been alive son.

>>18048724
And you're still doing it wrong, you limp dick.

Have you been smoking it more than 36 years?

Anyone getting fucked by the Spotlight Effect?

>>18048637
>>18048599
I'm prescribed both Adderall and Xanax. Fucks your mind up. I give away the Xanax just cause, but the Adderall ultimately has furthered my paranoia. Op, i wouldn't recommend either.

>>18048677
I get that feeling too...
That OR that everybody is looking at me and looking at my every moves and reactions....

I always feel watched.
I am used to it now.

>>18049099
Good to know. I avoid drugs and alcohol for the reason that I hate mind altering things. I want to have a healthier mind not a diluted one

Im paranoid to the point of duct taping my blackout curtains to the wall over my window so theres no way you can see in or out. I have to reopen everything i close (for example oven, fridge, washer/dryer especially, etc) to make sure no animals are trapped in there before i leave. I cant go anywhere alone for fear of being kindnapped and up until about a month ago my whole life I've slept with the lights on. I cant form relationships for fear of being hurt or hurting someone from distancing myself. I fucking feel you dude. And im poor as fuck so i cant get meds or see a psychologist so im constaly having an internal freak out everywhere i go. It sucks to say the least.

Always feel like I'm being followed while driving. Sounds crazy but I'd take random turns into dead ends and such, the cars would still follow me! Happened three times recently, turned into a random cul de sac and was followed in and out. It's draining so I just don't care anymore.

>>18050515
I hear you man. It's really rough because it just leads to loneliness too and nothing is more painful of a emotion than that

>>18050558
Theres nothing worse than feeling watched constantly and simultaneously alone forever

>>18046844
Really good security system, door bars and prepare all my own food. Never go to the city or fly.

>>18050577
Sounds like a plan. I'm afraid of taking planes also. The sheer vulnerability of people on a plane is ridiculous.

I was raped by Mike Matthews, I wasn't paranoid enough!

>>18050529

Niggers

>>18049099

I did say that it amps that shit up for a reason. I like it though. It's a wonderful way to attain gnosis, especially if you are trying to direct malevolent spells at your enemies.

Do you own a gun? Great! You can shoot any nigger that triea to break into your home.
If not, make sure to have either a tazer, gas or a blunt weapon. Now you have no need to be paranoid, since you can just smash that thievig niggers head in

>>18050796
Not everybody is paranoid about things like that. When im going anywhere by car, i imagine the door being flung open while going 60mph and my body rolling and scraping along the asphalt. I think about being rammed into, flipping over, gas tank explosion, break failure. Every day life is a fucking struggle and a constant inner dialogue fucking you over at every turn. A gun can only help for one thing when it comes to paranoia and thats ending it all

>>18050953

Its most likely just your caveman brain responding to being without a tribe.
which assuming it wasn't the 21st century, means you probably wouldn't survive very long

>>18050123

Exactly, avoid weed and alcohol and all the other drugs, they will only make it worse. Benzo will make you dependent on it and its a cheap, short term way out. I recommend strength training and meditation. Also don't shy away from situations when you ger paranoid, go straight for the jugular.. Embrace the fear and it will lessen each time. Fear is the mind killer, prove it wrong.
You wont die (probably), and it will make you stronger. And if you do die, well you would have anyway at some point so.

Look, does anyone want to see a picture of my gaping anus?

Just having to realize that you're not the center of the universe and that not everyone's out to get you. For example, if you see a youtube creepypasta reading and you shit your pants thinking you're going to be next, take time to think why it would be you, and not the other hundreds of thousands of people that saw it too

I had three IPs monitoring me, one located in San Fransisco, one in Pittsburgh and another in some shithole in Nevada desert.

Deleted Windows and installed Linux immediately when i found this.

there's literally no point in running rather than jogoing or walking unless you want to lose weight. You get the same health benefits from walking or jogging a mile as you do from running it with the added benefit of not having completely fucked up knees when you reach your mid-40's.

>>18046878

Awful advice, I recommend you to stop doing that, you are fixing on your self conscious allowing the other parts of you to freely fly around the concepts you do not yet understand, you are building a time bomb inside your brain and once it goes off you won't be able to stop the chaos it will release inside of you.

Why doesn't this have a screamer halfway through inhale? Seems like a missed opportunity.

>>18046844
I have reason to be paranoid. First of let me say I've lived in a fairly white bread neighborhood for over three decades and until the last few years I have never had cause to feel unsafe.

Earlier this month someone stole my delivered groceries off my doorstep, someone else (or at least I hope someone else) left some weird fucking art project on my lawn and for the third fucking time some random dude has woken me up at ten in the morning screaming bloody murder. I mean, it sounds like he's being tortured or something. But it always stops before I have reason to call 911. The house accross the street from me has been crashed into twice in the last year by irresponsible drivers, people drag race down the main street near my house at all hours of the late night/early moring. Apparently one of my neighbors kids is on god knows what started screaming at his aunt or whatever in front of my house and had the cops on him. I've had to call 911 several times this year for all sorts of shit. Last year someone got robbed at gunpoint practically on top of my house.

Plus there is an old lady with demntia who lives around here who tried to force her way itno my house and another one of my neighbors is this creepy as fuck guy who just walks around the block all day and then when he gets tired he just sits in his car staring. All day.

Oh yeah, and if you've heard "the hum," it periodically sounds off here too, no idea what the fuck it is but it's creepy as fuck. I used to feel safe pretty much anywhere and now it's like the whole world has gone frickin bananas. Is it just me? Has anyone else been experiencing things like this? Is the crazy everywhere or is it just my neighborhood going downhill?

>>18046844
antipsychotics + someone who is willing to listen to your bullshit without enforcing it. Like a trained therapist or someone who has beeen paranoid before.
Takes a year or two but if you do have paranoia you should be willing to go through it in order to get cured.
When it's over people will constantly try to spook you again and again but it will not affect you.
Lowered self value or even depression will be a risk. There will no longer be a "grand scheme of things" so work on learning how to enjoy the little things in life.
You will probably end up skeptical, bitter and disconnected but paired against paranoia it's a well worth trade.

>>18059787
