/x/ what is the solution to too much paranoia?
Are you in one enclosed place for long periods of time?
Do you have little to no friends or only sporadic or no contact with people beyond your immediate circle of friends or relatives?
Do you spend a considerable amount of time focused on things that stir paranoia in you, whether in your thoughts, on the internet, or through other media?
I'd suggest doing the opposite of whichever ones apply to you.
>>17627051
Stop making everything about you.
>>17627051
Even more paranoia. Paranoia is natural when you're in a slaughterhouse.
Xanax. Seriously, it's fucking awesome.
Less weed, more sleep, less /x/
>>17627051
Breath.
The problem with paranoia is the emotional state, you can think of any thing you want, but when it affects you emotionally you have a problem with your emotions not with the thoughts per se.
Learn to deal with you emotional states.

Carry a gun.
Dead serious. I don't even give a fuck what's going on around me anymore. Of anything happens I know I have a fighting chance.
Also just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I go around flashing my gun or drawing it on people. It's like a remedy, and it's certainly better than pumping yourself full of destructive chemicals.
>>17627097
This.
ITT: Fucking pansies can't keep up with the horror.
>>17627114
More weed helps me, actually.
>>17627154
Good point. Only idiots think emotions are never manageable. I fully support gun rights now. (I didn't have an opinion before.)
>>17627259
Then what's the solution to too much weed?
>>17627263
Take a break for a few months. That's what I'm doing now.
>>17627051
I had major paranoia and was concerned I'd hurt myself or others. Got my ticket into a psych ER when I got super drunk and tried to off myself by burning my house down. was obviously saved. Apparently I have ASPD. :^)
>>17627294
>by burning my house down
That takes guts. Glad you didn't make it to the other side.
>>17627332
I take lots of meds for paranoia and mood stabilizers now too. Forgot to mention that part. If this is OP or OP sees this then you should get into a psychiatric hospital or talk to your doctor to gt meds to help with that shit.
>>17627259
>More weed helps me, actually.
It doesn't in the long run.
>>17627357
Depends how bad you need it and why, I suppose.
I weighed a little over 95 pounds when my doctor recommended marijuana-based medicine. He said it was that or the feeding tube. Now I'm at a healthy BMI again, so I can afford to stop taking it for a few months, though I am starting to lose weight again.
Aside from the anti-nausea benefits, I legitimately feel less paranoid while under the effects of THC. I know this isn't everyone's experience, though.
>>17627066
Hot damn this has been my life since I was born.
I like being alone now, especially after being in a 3 year relationship with someone after being alone for 85% of my life.
>>17627365
I used it to cure my eating disorder, I had the same ultimatum because my bones were becoming brittle, and I was becoming really ill. it worked for like a month and then I basically had really acute THC induced schizo symptoms (went away when I stopped)
It did however, help flip a switch in my brain that made me care about my life more and not want to slowly kill myself. I prefer low dosing shrooms-it helped with my anxiety, paranoia, and pretty much every other depression based symptom- I take just the TINIEST nibble, maybe 2 times per day, sometimes every other day. You don't trip, nothing glows, you just feel healthy and good, it makes you have good days.
>>17627365
Man, you really should have taken the feeding tube. That thing is fun as hell.
>>17627051
Less weed and hallucinogens, and more alcohol and narcotics.
>>17627106
>Xanax. Seriously, it's fucking awesome.

Zoloft, desu. I'm the most paranormal person in the universe and I take it.
>>17627345
Sorry to hear that. I am OP and this thread wasn't made for me, it was made for you guys. Paranoia is my natural state and it doesn't negatively affect my emotions. I just recognize that there is such a thing as too much at some point.
>>17627408
>being alone for 85% of my life
Welcome to the modern era.
>>17627513
Keh, heh.
There's no such cure, only paranoia management/maintenance. Paranoia has ruined many if not all of !y relationships, it stems from drug abuse, and catching supposed friends talking about how much they truly disliked my company.
I believe the only way to cope is to allow yourself to take chances, listen to your rational side as well as your emotional reaction to someone that triggers mistrust. Be wary but not suspicious - minimalist risk, if the change that you're wrong could be detrimental to a situation then take a rain check. Distract yourself, try and build things slowly and don't leap to conclusions etc.
I've always been paranoid, I just don't tell people if it sounds too retarded
>>17627106
Use poisons to overcome problems, and create more problems.
Pharma shill?
>>17627066
This is the best advice you can get op.
>>17627738
Same here. I have a pretty dark inner personality but fuck if that matters to the outer world.
>>17627051
I'd tell you, but they're watching me right now...
>>17627769
Heh, I've been there, anon. Definitely. Don't worry too much about what they think themselves to be capable of.
>>17627106
Oh man. I sincerely hope you never have to live life again without it.
Life is never the same once you've experienced it with Xanax. It's been two years and I still would give anything for 10mg of that stuff.
>>17627051
Medication. Seriously this whole board is filled with paranoid shizzos.
>>17628169
>this whole board
I've been lurking longer than you have.
>>17627051
Probably should stay off /x...
