Depression, anxiety and paranoia - need help

[cjt110]

I'm struggling a lot with these 3 bastard demons. My paranoia is in overdrive.

How do I fix this and sort it out?

Convinced colleague is being off with me - they're not they're just very busy and we work in different departments.

Convinced a comment from a friend about a failing friendship is aimed at me. I asked and she told me it wasn't at all.

I can't deal with this.

Thinking the woman in Primark at the weekend will think I stole a jumper when in fact I had already paid for it upstairs then paid for something else downstairs. Spiralling to think that the security guard will have seen me. Reported me. Will be looking for me...

What the fuck is wrong with me

I've never suffered paranoia but DH has paranoid schizophrenia , he says it isn't really describable but at his worst thought the was sending him secret messages. He's been stable on an antipsychotic four years now so it can be treated.

I find anxiety worse then bi-polar it's soul destroying, I can't imagine dealing with anything on top

Hi, sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Have you had a chat with your gp, that would be the first port of call if I were you.
On the positive side, at least you understand that a lot of your paranoia is just that and you can recognise it.
I have a friend who suffers from depression, anxiety and paranoia and is on medication for the first two which really helps her, the paranoia is a symptom of anxiety I believe? X

Yes, I believe it must be my anxiety kicking off the paranoia. I laid in bed last night with thoughts whirring around and had to try and "talk" myself into thinking of nothing.

I am on fluoextine and have sent my GP a message to ask if I can increase them
