Paranoia is a form of psychosis- so there is a good chance that – if you have bipolar disorder- you have experienced paranoia.
Paranoia is a feeling/belief/thought that you have done something wrong and that someone or some organization is upset with you for doing this perceived something!
It’s easy to see what a mess paranoia can cause. I’m sending out a newsletter on this in a few days. If you go to bipolarhappens.com you can sign up for the newsletter.
Paranoia used to really cause me a lot of trouble. I have worked hard so that I can at least recognize it before it makes me do something stupid! So, I’m paranoid today, but I didn’t do anything stupid!

I am so paranoid lately. I keep thinking that everyone is annoyed with me and i am a huge burden or a really annoying pimple that won’t go away. (gross haha). I keep thinking that my parents, who love me the most in the world, are sick of me and i feel so guilty that i have to cut. i haven’t done it since february 2008 but i jsut feel like everyone is so sick of me and doesn’t want to “deal” with me. I know it’s not true and a lot of people love adn care about me but for some reason i can’t be convinced of that most of the time. It drives me crazy!
my geodon medicine is making me more paranoid and psychotic and now i am switching to lithium. i really don’t want to take anything. the only thing that helped me was marijuana used judicially. i’m not a druggy and have been clean for a month. but i am so sick of being psycho and severely paranoid while ON the drug that’s supposed to help me. nothing helps me at all. just pot every so often and nature and music. but i am not doing it now because my doctor said no. i’m ready to abandon every pharmasutcal (spelling?) company. they just want to make money off of all us crazy people buy more and more drugs that don’t even work. ook maybe i am in a really angry mood but this is how i feel.
I am so sick of drugs being thrown at me and feeling like my psych doesn’t believe my reactions to all these meds. I’m bipolar and agoraphobic. The Geodon has made me throw up for 2 days and this stupid doctor won’t even call me. My anger management is down the toilet, as you can tell. I wish I had a punching bag. And the waves of paranoia. What’s a person to do?
