Great suggestions on how to deal with paranoias. Just have one question, though... Does it have stages that people go through? Coz like I think I am becoming very distrustful, prolly because of a major thing that happened during my relationship with a guy. I know I do really ill-mannered thongs and I say hurtful words... but I'm still willing to go to a shrink. Perhaps, I might still be on the mild stage huh?
It is understandable that when one has been hurt especially in an intimate romantic relationship that they might become distrustful of others and say hurtful things as a way of protecting their broken heart. This doesn't necessarily indicate a paranoid personality in the pathological sense but it is worth examining what types of things are you distrustful of in your life or relationships. How do these things make you feel and then how do you react to them? In a society full of crime, commitment phobes and failed relationships, it is not hard to fathom how trust could become a rare commodity and that one would become guarded. However while this is a natural reaction it can lead to loneliness and hold us back from having the loving, healthy relationships that support us and help us grow as people.
Are you conscious of the hurtful, ill-mannered things you say and do? Perhaps the next time you feel the urge to say them you should reflect on why you feel the need to do so; is it self protective to drive the other person away or is it reactionary. Recognizing your actions and what you want from both yourself and others is the first step to change, progress and growth! Congratulations on your self awareness and if you feel that seeking professional help is in your best interest than it is definitely worth pursuing and investigating.
