    Well I don't know how deep in the water you are, but I'm in a similar boat. I've always been really paranoid of everything going wrong, unfortunately I've usually been right but that's not the point.
    There isn't really any way of having someone else 'fix' your situation so much as you helping yourself out. Whenever you find yourself thinking like that, you've gotta distract yourself. I don't know how much music you listen to, but that sometimes helps.
    (I say sometimes because, it really does only help sometimes... There are times when I try it and I only find myself completely shutting out the music and still thinking to myself.)
    Go places. Do things. Maybe even have alot of fun... Face some of your fears. Alot of paranoia comes from fear, and if you can face it and show yourself that there's nothing to worry about, it'll help the slightest bit...
    Of course if you end up showing yourself that your thinking was right all along, then maybe you shouldn't worry so much because you've got things under control...

    *sigh* I know that's not alot of help... But I tried as hard as I could. Best of luck to you.

    You sound like you have an anxiety issue, common in many people, actually. Go to the doctor, they might be able to help you out.

    I have anxiety issues and panic attacks so if you wanna talk click on my profile and email me.

    Try some natural therapies like excercise (yoga, meditation, martial arts are great) to help you release your worries by other means. Seeing a doc would prob help too in case its stemming from a more serious issue, try talking to someone a trusted friend or counsellor even about your problems rather than trying to deal with them all on your own...

    Paranoia is good as long as you don't go diving into other peoples business (Mum always searches my room for stuff and it makes me mighty cross)
    Paranoia can save you from getting arrested in my town (whether you did anything or not they pick up every person (especially me butt nuggets hate me cause I wear black clothes... also cause I'm a pyromaniac that set the train tracks on fire... and started a small fire outside the fire station... also because I get in a fist fight every other day... also because all my friends are pot heads (I'm not though) also because I started dancing like a male stripper infront of the old people home.....)

    i'm also paranoid which is not so good in my situation because i think it just makes ppl hte me more than they already do so i try to hide it. but at night i can't sleep without my army of stuffed animals on my bed and my eldest cat. even the neighbor dogs don't help infact they make it worse. i hear them bark and i have to curl up in a fetal position with my cat and stay as quiet as possible but in the morning i just think to myself they were just chasing away a coon but yet it's the same every night. this isn't all my paranoia but that's a big part of it

    Please go to a good medical dictionary and check the real meaning of the word 'paranoid', before you self diagnose

    From what I can tell from basic etymology. Paranoid is derived from the word "Pan" which is the name of the Greek God of the forest and Lustful King of Satyrs.

    Being paranoid is one thing, but from what I can tell from you on your stay in here and your post opinions. I can tell that you are a foolish paranoid child who wishes to be known by foolishly bashing others. Not knowing that those who do it, do it because they either care, or try to bring the person they are bashing back to reality.

    You my friend are someone who should consult a therapist...
