I dont think your paranoid. maybe  anxious because when you cant control the unknown  it will always stay at the back of your mind and it gives you a helpless feeling

Your moniker, Paranoid, says it all. Yes to mind your own business. And no to should you do something about it. Get some help for yourself (and I don't mean muscle).

I have the same problem, ive been hurt by friends and family and i STILL think up conspiracy theories. Talking with him will help some, but the change has to be WITHIN you, the only thing he can do is make his life a little more open for you. I try to be as open and honest with my GF as possible, that way she can trust me more, also i tell her where ive been and she even knows my E mail password. She knows who is on my buddy list and who ive called. I do all of this so that there WONT be trust issues in our relationship. BUT she could still be paranoid, so she has to just admit to herself, that if im cheating on her, then it DOESENT MATTER, she will just break up with me and move on, or if i truly repent then fix the problem and continue the relationship. But you HAVE to let it go, go out on a limb and put yourself out there. once you say it doesent matter, and you have "let that person go" then that takes away any walls that were in your relationship before.

ITS ALL ABOUT FACING YOUR FEARS!! THE MORE YOU DO IT THE MORE YOU WILL GET OVER IT. Just remember NO ONE is perfect.

Let me rephrase that for you: How do I ease my nervousness?\nNow that that's settled, just drink some milk, watch some tv, think about pleasant things, imagine the audience in their underwear, breathe deeply, empty your mind of all thoughts...\nthat should tide you over, right?

My abusive ex.  I won't go into details but the physical and mental damage done by this man is something I carry with me all the time.  Because of him I cannot have children and underwent 5 surgeries to fix the physical damage.  The paranoia I deal with on a daily basis because he has not been caught can be crippling at times, to the point I get afraid to go outside or go anywhere alone.  I cannot trust people like I used to nor do I let people close to me anymore, except a very select few.  It's left a feeling in me that seems to say people will suck you in by acting nice then they will turn on you like a rabid dog once you are sucked in and let your guard down.  I know, realistically, that isn't the case but it has left that feeling.  No, I'm not over this yet but I am working on it.  It just takes time to undo the damage done.  But it did take part of me and who I used to be away and I will never be able to get that back.

By accepting that you're there and that there is nothing you can do about it. It looks bad when you try to get rid of the nervousness. It looks like you're trying to hide something. If you're nervous, be nervous. It's ok.\n\nGood luck.

It is anxiety. Anxiety does funny things to us. He is not worth getting anxious over, I know that it's difficult, but he is a low life scum for doing what he did. Maybe you should take the night (or day) off depending on where you are at and just relax . YOu ease the dizziness and anxiety by take in slow deep breaths and slowly releasing. Maybe take a few days off and just go out and do the things that you enjoy the most, maybe talk to a close friend or someone, but you need to keep your mind off of what happened.

Well first you need to trust yourself. If you doubt something in you then that is just going to have you not trusting anyone ever again.

being paranoid in your relationship demonstrated a deep rooted distrust of your partner that you must either face and get rid of or get out of the relationship.

Spend more time in the dark. Remember that there isn't anything there in the dark that isn't there in the daytime, you're just afraid of the unknown. Or get some night goggles so you can see how common it is. But lose the flashlights, they make you more paranoid.

The only way to get rid of fear is to face it. Make up your mind to face them.BE BRAVE!!!!

ive never had the paranoia thing either, iv smoked pretty much every day for the last 5 years and never felt even a slight pang of paranoia. maybe it has something to do with your mental state in the first place cos im pretty comfortable in my own skin. maybe those who arent are more susceptible to paranoia as a side effect

Just relax and realize that if you can't get over being so nervous, how are you going to get to know that person? Oh, and remember to breathe...focus in on it, and that will help the anxiety.

Give your self permission to face fear, even if it's scary.  Then forgive yourself for feeling fear and guilt if (when) it happens next time.  Old habits die hard sometimes.\n\nStart with baby steps.  Learn from mistakes.  Go back to the beginning if you need to.  You don't fail this way; you only learn.  Failure becomes a learning experience.  Success, step by step, is inevitable.   There's no rush; remember that.\n\nLove ya.\n\ndakotanroscoe

Focus on your breathing.  Slow it down and take deep, rhythmic breaths in and out.  Just focus all your thoughts on the breathing and try to put all your other worries and thoughts out of your mind.\n\nYou can also try to mentally imagine each part of your body relaxing.  Relax your toes, then your calves, then your thighs, then your stomach...all the way up to your eyelids, ears, and forehead.  Just imagine each of those body parts relaxing, as you let go and let yourself get comfortable.\n\nAlso, I've found that if I am physically active and get exercise during the day, then I can sleep better at night.  You may also want to try drinking some herbal tea (Chamomile and Sleepytime work best at nighttime)
