Am I paranoid, or is it fleas?
Okay, this is my issue: I got a dog from someone who didn't want her anymore. She had ticks and fleas, and looked neglected. I had to give her to the humane society, because I know they can take care of her (clean her up, and get rid of her fleas and ticks), and place her in a loving home. Now I've been thinking about fleas, and have been itchy. Is this just me being paranoid? I only had the dog in my house for a day. I havn't seen anything jumping around...and I know I did get some mosquito bites yesterday. I really am freaking out, and want to know if fleas would be noticable, if my apartment did have them. Any insight would be GREAT! Thansk!
How can I stop paranoia?
I dig this question ;) ok check it out. Paranoia implies that you are worrying about something, the outcome of which is not necessarily in your control. The trick is to reason it out, and truly internalise it.For example, you're smoking a joint, and you're paranoid the cops are going to turn up any minute now. Ask yourself this question, is the fact that I'm worrying about this going to magically stop them from coming if they were meant to turn down the street you're on? No, of course not. So basically you are worried about a hypothetical situation. Cos maybe they are, but also maybe they're not.So basically, you being paranoid makes absolutely no difference.Let's say that you're paranoid, and they really do turn down your way, now what? Because you're paranoid, you'll have this paranoid look on your face, will be unable to react appropriately, and will probably get busted. Whereas if you weren't paranoid and chilled out, you might be able to chuck the joint on time and still look calm enough to get away with it, they might just drive by without even giving you a second look.Basically, you need to realise that paranoia truly doesn't help the situation. It only makes matters worse. As what's going to happen, what's meant to happen, will happen regardless of whether you're paranoid or not. It's a wasted emotion, and a waste of mental energy. And all it will do is mess up your high.Unfortunately, me telling you all this won't help, unless you are truly able to reason out what I am saying, and internalise it.It's like sitting at home every day worrying your house is going to collapse at any minute. But youre still sitting inside your house. So if it does collapse... youll just die in a paranoid state. Whereas if you weren't paranoid, and your house collapsed, at least you'd die in a happier state :)Bottom line, either way you still die. And all your paranoia would have done is made you die while being paranoid. Hehe.Anyways, hope this helps, I dunno....Just remember, it doesn't help worrying about something when the outcome is not in your control. You're just wasting energy, emotion and brainpower which could be put to better use.If you can't internalise what I'm saying, just try thinking happy thoughts, white bunnies, rainbows, flying ponies, I dunno, whatever does it for you I guess :p
Is it bad luck or am I being paranoid?
I'm very super sticious. It's horrible! See, when I drop salt I have to put water over it and then throw it out. Or like I never put my bad on the floor, it's bad luck to what I've heard. So last night I accidentally broke my lightbulb and 10 minutes later I broke my flower vase! I do wonder if its bad luck or if it means something bad will happen?
Paranoid about smelling bad?
why don't you ask your family or friends their honest opinion? hopefully they will b honest enough to say whether you do or don't. I obviously don't want to make you more paranoid but could you possibly have bad breath? or simply you just happen to sit next to ignorant people?if family or friends tell you you don't smell,then may be the person who turns away is just an idiot. you could try using a different deodorant and or taking a clean top with you if you happen to sweat loads. your body is going through some major changes as you will have noticed&a lot of others will probably be paranoid about their own body smells than yours. try not too worry too much! good luck!
Is there anything bad if I am always a little bit paranoid?
I completely understand the situation you go through. I definitely make it sure that it gets sorted. Its nothing wrong to be a little bit paranoid. But if you really want to work on it, there are many ways:-1. Overcome pessimism- Ask yourself how likely it is that the pessimistic thought you're having will come true.When you're expecting the worst, consider all of the possible outcomes of a situation, not just the most negative ones. Then, you'll see that there are many possibilities in virtually every situation.Try to combat each pessimistic thought you have with two realistic thoughts. For example, if you're worried that everyone is laughing about your shoes, consider that 1) it's unlikely that a pair of shoes will keep everyone laughing throughout the day, and 2) it's more likely that a new, hilarious cat meme is making its way around the office messaging system2.Stop obsessing over every little thing.Keep a journal that tracks your paranoid thoughts. Reread it weekly. This can help you not only unload some of your paranoid feelings in a more healthy fashion, but it can also help you see that some of your paranoid fears were completely unfounded when you read back over what you've written3.Stay busy4. Learn to take criticismThis will definitely help you and there is nothing wrong to be a little bit paranoid. You are a human being not GOD.Good Luck!!

How can I stop my jealousy and being paranoid about my boyfriend?
Try to think about what is triggering the jealousy. Did someone with similar qualities cheat on you in the past? Does he do things to make you jealous on purpose or do you think it’s mainly you, that’s carrying around old baggage? If you think about it you might come up with your own answer. Your boyfriend is with you by choice, he could walk at anytime but he hasn’t, that tells me he wants to be with you, so what is there to be jealous about? We have all been cheated on at some point in time, but that doesn’t mean all the people you date will. Sometimes we pick the same type person over and over again, it’s not a conscious decision, but that would lead us to the same type problems we have run into before with other people. For instance I have done this same thing, by being attracted to the “Bad Boy” type and every time, that’s what I get, a some what abusive type guy that runs over me and takes advantage of me and my good nature. That’s not what I’m looking for but it happens, so you have to think about what you are doing and change the the type person you seem to be attracted to and find a more secure type person, that you feel you can trust. If you don’t feel like you can trust your boy friend then I would get out of the relationship, because your gut feeling is telling you you can’t trust this person for a reason. You may feel the jealous and paranoid, because he is actually doing things that makes you feel that way, like staring at other women while you guys are together or talking about women with you. My ex husband and I saw two people wreck on a motor cycle and the first words out of his mouth were, Wow, she has boobs that look just like yours! It wasn’t, I wonder if they got hurt or need assistance, he was more interested in her boobs!! Our relationship didn’t workout, not because of that, but because all he needed was a maid and sex partner and he was extremely needy and I am very independent. Good luck, I hope this helped, if you do leave him, next time you start dating try picking someone that’s different than anyone you have dated before.
