How can I stop being paranoid?

I always just remind myself that what I'm being paranoid about isn't life threatening, or isn't going to physically or mentally harm me, and so I face it.

I struggle with this question consistently. All you need to do is focus on the present instead of thinking about the future or what is going on that makes you afraid. Think of something that makes you happy, take a deep breath and count to ten. This doesn't cure anxiety or paranoia, but it certainly helps when you can't immediately fix the situation at hand.

Well you must not panic for starters , go on breathe , take a long breathe & release it slowly ... keep Your mind off it

You can stop being paranoid is to start controlling your thoughts, and stop obsessing over whatever is making you paranoid.

I know is must be frustrating each time it occurs. I know you seem scared is there anything that can help you from these thought and calm you? Do you have any favorite activities or hobbies that you enjoy?

Paranoia is always related, somehow, to a (many times inaccurate) perception of persecution. A paranoid person will tend to believe (s)he is being chased, accused, looked upon, investigated, subject to plots and schemes, when usually there is little to no evidence of such threats. A nice start to deal with this condition is to consider looking for support. Not support for your theories, but for your well-being. Look for considerate friends, trusted people who you know won't judge you, and ask them for their insights on your unsettling. Don't forget that not rarely the one who looks the situation from outside sees what we often cannot while inside the fog of the issue. And, of course, consider looking for professional help in case this has started impairing your daily tasks and overall quality of life.

First, take a few deep breaths to calm down. Then, ask yourself if what you are feeling is actually a reality. If you are worried that a particular event will happen, is it because it has happened before? Or, is it something that you just fear? If it is a fear, what steps are you taking to change it?

I'm really not sure how to stop being paranoid, but I think that it helps to look for small little things in your life that are good. If you can't find any, try to make some. Maybe those little things will build into bigger things that are good, and maybe they won't. Either way you can use those things to focus on when paranoia strikes. This isn't an end-all answer to the state of paranoia but it works for me. Sometimes I focus on those small/big good things so much that even if all of my paranoid thoughts are true, it doesn't matter. I know it won't be that way for everyone, but I hope it helps at least one person or gives someone an idea to try out.

you need to fight face to face with what are you making you paranoic, and you will win, trust me, i had try it

You need to try to realize that thing that you are afraid of is not really there, but it really depends on what you are paranoid about :)
