How can I stop being paranoid?

Paranoia is a difficult thing to overcome. I have found that mindfulness is helpful to bring me back into the present, thus reducing feelings of paranoia.

i have trouble with this now i am finding that if i stay in control of my thoughts and try and stay calm i can better control it but we live in a society now where some of you paranoia could be founded in reality other cannot

Take a deep breath . Just way pros and cons.. Most likely your just being paranoid, You got this.❤️❤️

Let’s think about paranoia for a moment. When do we feel paranoid? When we feel that we are good people on the inside, but outside the world is filled with danger and deceit. In the extreme, we feel that we are all good and blameless, while the outside world is all bad and treacherous — and further, that we are extremely vulnerable to attack from the outside. We are defenseless. The only way to stay safe is to maintain a vigil and anticipate danger so we can shield ourselves from it. We have an image in our mind of the way the world should be: all good. Then we are desperately disappointed when it turns out not to be so. Rather than confront our distorted view of the world as being all good or bad, we base all our thinking on that assumption and react defensively.

You can either confront whatever it is that is bothering you or ignore it by talking to someone about it or do something to distract yourself.

To stop being paranoid first you need to stop thinking a lot about whatever the subject is, second you need to think in a logical way and not in an emotional way. Third, you need to take a step back and think should i be scared about it? Fourth ask yourself would it even matter a week from now? The key to stop being paranoid is to think less, take it in a logical way and don't stress about it.

I'm not paranoid, I'm highly functioning. Just tired and depressed, fatigued, and have pain. My thoughts are usually right on.

I think the best way to stop being paranoid is to learn to look at the world in a more positive way instead of seeing what will go wrong you try to see what is exciting and the good things that can come from the world.

I think it's something you have to ease yourself into. I have PTSD so paranoia has been a huge part of my life in the past little while. I just try to challenge it on the smaller things and build up from there. For me it has worked so far. I still get some pretty strong episodes of paranoia but I am in a better place than I was when I just let my paranoia go unchecked.

Paranoia is not something that you can just stop. With appropriate help such as a psychologist, GP ect. the paranoid thoughts can be lessened.
