paranoia

Life can be hard. I know that very well. Today I would like to share some of my tips to help others. (For context, I know everyone is different. This it just stuff that helps me. If you have something that helps you that's not listed, comment them, and if you give permission, I'll add them to this list with credit.)

1) Journal/Write stories

I know you all might be told to do this, and really, you should. Journaling is a very helpful and safe way to get out your emotions. I am very bad at journaling, so I like to write stories instead. Writing stories is another way to get out your emotions in healthy ways.

2) Talking to a trusted friend/family member/person in your life

This is also very helpful. It's better to talk about feelings then hold them in Its hard. Of course. But once you start, its sometimes hard to stop.

3) Fidgets

Okay. I'm not asking you to be start collecting fidgets. No. Having one or two works as well. I just find having them with me is helpful when I get anxious, or the depression is getting to me. To try to focus on something else that is safe.

4) Take a break/Listen to music/meditate

I personally can't meditate. I have too much energy for that. But music or stepping away when things are getting difficult is helpful for me. Take a breather, some time to yourself without distractions.

5) Go outside/Take care of yourself

Being outside, even if it's just you're backyard/a nearby wooded area/a nearby park can be very helpful. Also taking a bath/shower, drinking water, taking a nap, can also be helpful

Well, I hope I helped at least one person. Thank you so very much for reading.

I have BPD and ADHD. So basically I think different from most people so I don’t totally know or understand how they feel or what’s normal and what’s not.
So is there actually unconditional friendship and unconditional love? Or is it just sth in movies that I’ve believed?? As I always expect a bit of it or have high hopes that this time someone might actually understand and love, like actually love me, (when I love someone, I do it extremely, like I totally fall in love and care alooot) so is it just me and a belief have due to tv or is it true??

I have the hardest time letting my dogs out at night! I'm always scared someone is going to come up behind me, and really hurt me! It's just awful! I use a flashlight and in certain areas lights go off outside.
When the pups are finished and we get to the door, once in the house I'm scared to turn around at the door, I'm always feeling he's going to be standing right there and will grab me before I manage to get the door shut!! I hate this paranoia! Awhile ago, even during the day I didn't feel right being outside with the dogs, but I'm past that and able to go outside, get into my car and go somewhere! I just started to drive again after 3 years of refusing to drive because I hurt my little car. It got fixed but I was too nervous! I'm very comfortable during the day now ! Has anyone else experienced the feeling someone else is around that is going to hurt you? How did you handle it?

How does everyone combat the deafening loneliness? It feels like this dark abyss I have to actively try to push away. The second I let my brain relax or stop focusing on actively distracting myself, things start breaking down.

Also, what type of paranoid thoughts do you have and what age/time did you see these starting to begin?

Does anyone else with Bipolar Disorder experience this? What can I do?
