Paranoia? I Dunno
Posted: 04-02-07 09:51am

Hmm, I was just wondering...does anyone ever get any paranoid thoughts, just randomly? Sometimes, I'm just walking along in the street and if someone is walking in the opposite direction, or quite close behind me, I sometimes think they're gonna just get a knife out of their pocket and stab me. I also sometimes think when people are laughing or talking it's about me, and I have at times felt anxious when someone knocks on the door, mainly believing that when I open the door they'll have a gun and will try and shoot me in the head, so I sort of half-open the door first to see who it is. When I'm at work or something, I occasionally expect to get a phonecall telling me my boyfriend has been killed in a car accident or something. Another one I have is when I'm on a bus, I sometimes believe someone has a bomb and it's going to go off. I can't help thinking these, and they seem to come out of nowhere. None of these have disrupted my life in any way though, so it's probably just normal.
As I say, I don't always think these things, and I'm just wondering if it's completely normal to think like this. I know these are quite irrational.

Please tell me what you think, and if you have similar experiences...
