need to know if others have this...

[ItWillPass]

I am terrified that I am schizophrenic. I read about some of the symptoms... I am scared about paranoid schizophrenia. It says that the person often feels persecuted, and there are plots against them. I have had these thoughts. When people are talking around me, I sometimes believe that they are talking about me... even though logically I know chances are they are not even thinking about me. I also get paranoid that people are plotting things against me. Nothing big, but if I see someone eyeing my house, I will have a fleeting thought that they may be planning a robbery. Or, if a family member acts strange to me I will be paranoid that they are upset with me or something, when logically I know they may just be in a bad mood. Can this be part of anxiety? Has anyone else ever experienced nagging paranoid thoughts? I say nagging, because I know logically they are far fetched, but part my brain cant let go of them.

I see the logic... but at the same time I am not 100% convinced. If I think about it, a little part of me still my irrational thought may very well be true. thanx for the links, and the reply...

Hi

I get these feelings too, I feel paranoid about things just as you do, I think this is because we over think things over in our mind and get ourselves wound up,

Not nice but Im sure if we know we are doing this we are safe as meg says
