How can I stop being paranoid when I am on cocaine?
Cocaine is stupid dude. You're chasing a feeling that will only diminish the more you chase it. Appreciate life as it is. If you want to get high, just stick with THC. But if you feel compelled to do coke, MODERATE. Moderation is key in all aspects of life. Even too much water can kill you. Some people are more inclined to experience adverse or undesirable effects than others. For some people, even the slightest amount can be detrimental, while others may have a certain threshold before experiencing the same or similar adverse effects. As a person who has used lots of different illicits in my day, including the aforementioned, I personally feel the only way I have been able to maintain is that I have an “If I'm going to be stupid, I'm going to be smart about it” approach to drugs. I'm not always trying to push the limit and get as high as I can. I do just enough to feel it and have a good time, and appreciate a moderate, tasteful high, if that makes sense. And don't underestimate the power of sleep. It's wonders for the brain and body. Sleep deprivation is very hard on your body, even if it doesn't seem that way. Also, do not let your body temperature get too high. Neurotoxicity (killing brain cells) primarily occurs when your brain experiences temperatures above the norm. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and get your sleep. And again always remember moderation. You can't stay high. If you go up you have to come down before you can go back up, otherwise up becomes your new normal and you can't go up anymore.

Teeth/Gum Paranoia, should I be concerned?
Don't be paranoid... what most dentists don't tell you is that gum disease is a condition, not a disease. Seriously, with all the fancy names that they have given to gum disease and all the bacteria that they claim are associated with it... it is still just from lack of brushing. Some people are more sensitive to bacterial breakdown than others and develop gum inflammation, but nothing that some religious flossing and a good mouthwash can't reverse. So that is it in a nutshell... gum disease is a reversible condition, always. Ironically, my dad, who has a masters degree, got caught up in the all the paranoia and hype of "gum disease" and actually gave up trying to take care of his teeth and so ended up with full dentures. Simply because he bought into the mind trap that the ADA lays on people. I went to dental school for 3 years, and I believe that the majority of dentistry is good, but I couldn't swallow the bs that they manufacture about gum disease. Simply take care of your teeth, and they will take care of you. It is that simple.
What are 10 ways a person can be paranoid?
This question is kind of strange, cause being paranoid is being paranoid, unlike being blue where you can literally or figuratively be 'blue', but there can be different levels of paranoid.Being worried is being paranoid. Worried that you're gonna lose your Fantasy game is a form of paranoia. Being worried that your loved is cheating is being paranoid. Even something as extreme as thinking that your loved ones were replaced by form shifting demons and that they'll kill you in your sleep, is still just worrying. Irrational worrying but worrying nonetheless.That's the thing though. Being worried you're going to lose a game is being paranoid, but if you have bad players then it makes sense for you to worry. On the other hand being worried your demon family is going to kill you is irrational and borders being delusional paranoia depending on how worried you are.The severity of the paranoia changes everything. If you're worried about the game, that's fine and normal and shouldn't be called paranoid. But if you're paranoid to the point where you can't sleep, where you stay up all night trying to find a way to cheat or switch up players because you're genuinely scared you're gonna lose, then that's a problem. If you're worried that your family is demons that's weird and all, but everyone had those passing what ifs, but if your consumed by it, it's a problem. If you stalk them, stay up all night guarded with guns, and/or call the police, then that is severe paranoia.Rational Paranoia - When you have a genuine reason to be worried, and that the odds are you are right.Irrational Paranoia - When you are worried for seemingly no reason, and your logic is flawed when it comes to why or that odds are high that you are wrongMild Paranoia - When you are worried about something, rational or irrational, but it is just a passing thought that is hardly acted uponSevere Paranoia - When you're worried to the point of irrational actions, and spend large amounts in paranoid thoughtsDelusional Paranoia - When reasons for being paranoid is seemingly supernatural. When you refuse to think otherwise and spend a great deal of energy in your delusions, combined with harmful decisions that only make sense in delusional logic5. That's all I have for you.
Pregnancy scare--am I just being paranoid, or does this sound legit?
It looks like you just wrote your dissertation. No Y!A question should be this long, really. You're being extremely paranoid and you probably don't have anything to worry about. That being said, I hope you've learned your lesson that since "this would be a terrible time to be pregnant" YOU NEED TO USE BIRTH CONTROL, and "a terrible person to have a baby with" THEN DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU AREN'T IN A LONG TERM COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH. It's not rocket science here. I know mistakes happen, but they're so preventable, why make yourself go through all this unnecessary stress? There is no way, right now at this moment to test and see if you're pregnant. It's just not possible. It's unlikely that you're pregnant because you PROBABLY (this is the case for a lot of women, not all) ovulated in the middle of your cycle. Like, exactly halfway through it. You had sex towards the end of it, so your chances of being pregnant are slim. My boyfriend and I used the pullout method for 8 months (of course I knew it wasn't all that effective and chances are it would eventually fail) I didn't get pregnant for 7 months. I got pregnant in September. So, I mean, when you think about it, things with your body and both of your reproductive systems have to be completely in sync and working perfectly. It's a miracle anyone ever gets pregnant when you look at it like that. Wait 35 days or however long you figured your cycles are. Wait until day 37 or 38, then take a test if you still don't have your period. Although, with all this stress and paranoia you're experiecing, it could very well delay your period.
Is something wrong with my navel piercing or am I being paranoid?
if you got sensitive skin you should cut back on sea salt, that might be drying it out, but if it starts pussing start useing the sea salt once a day. you will feel it inside of you until your body gets use to it. you will know if its rejecting by the scar, it's position on the skin will start moving leaving a scar trailing behind to the original location. full rejection is rare, what is more common is the body shifting the jewelery to a more comfortable location. remember if it is infected the worst thing to do is take out the jewelry, its alot easier to get rid of an external infection than it is to get rid of an internal infection. any good piercer will be more than willing to answer any follow up and aftercare questions, so if your still paranoid then talk to your piercer or any competent piercer at any competent studio.
How do you know if you are being paranoid about something or is it really wrong?
Ask yourself these questions:How are you feeling? Afraid, anxious? Or peaceful, clear? Our feelings are like a thermometer. If they are negative, it means your mind is in an unhealthy state. It’s decisions cannot be trusted.Are you concerned about yourself or the other person? We often think we are afraid of doing wrong - and that’s a good thing, right? But often we are just afraid of being wrong. Being the ‘bad guy’. It is more about “How it will me look now”When we are genuinely concerned about others we do not experience fear, we experience compassion. If we have already done something hurting, we do not experience guilt(“what a bad person I am!!”) but sadness about the consequences, the hurt that was caused(“How hurt she would have felt!”).Paranoia has the smell of desperation. To keep up our image. We feel sad about our ’self’. Compassion has clarity. When we do wrong, we feel sad for others.
How can I stop getting paranoid after smoking marijuana?
If you are irresponsibly using marijuana, it is not paranoia. It is genuine concern for a real risk.If you are being responsible, legal, not risking your family over a weed, etc…Write down what you are paranoid about. While sober, read it, and write a note to your high self. Remind your high self to trust sober you more than high you. Tell yourself that no one cares what you’re doing, no one is outside, whatever you get paranoid about…Try smoking in a different environment entirely. Get outside in nature or at least get your room bright and sunny. The environment has a huge impact on the effects of marijuana.Some people wont be able to overcome the paranoia, and for most people it’s not worth the effort. But if you need marijuana for treatment this side effect can be easier to overcome than respiratory arrest and death from opiates.Most people agree that marijuana brings out the personality traits and emotions that are already there. If you are already upset or worried about things, you should work on those issues while sober. While mj is good for generalized anxiety, if there is something specific you are worrying about, it doesn’t work so well and can cause those worries to overwhelm you.Finally, and most hopeful for you, there is some evidence that the way THC and CBD work together significantly effect paranoia. There’s plenty of research and videos about this, but the bottom line is, find marijuana with very high cbd. I don’t mean get the stuff that is ONLY CBD, get high thc weed, but find high thc weed with high CBD content. I’d say get something that's like 18% THC or lower, and with the highest CBD content you can find.This advice is based on the studies done that showed pure thc was a miserable experience, frightening and a sense a impending doom. CBD is believed to somehow affect this in a positive way.Good luck
