Hello everyone, I just turned 18 and I’ve been dealing with paranoid anxiety for a while now. It’s been really tough and has made me feel isolated and afraid. I’ve had trouble trusting people and I constantly feel like I’m being watched or judged. But I’ve been working on finding coping mechanisms and seeking professional help. It’s a slow process, but I’m starting to see some improvements. I’ve found that expressing my feelings through journaling and talking to a therapist has been really beneficial. I’ve also been trying to surround myself with supportive and understanding people. If anyone else out there is going through something similar, just know that you’re not alone. It’s a tough battle, but with the right support and determination, you can start to regain control of your life. Stay strong, we’ve got this!
