Hey everyone, do you have a problem with paranoia?
I noticed i'm very paranoid sometimes.. Like today i got so paranoid that i had a major panic attack, i blocked one of my good friends on Facebook and Messenger... Ect ect
The thing i got so paranoid was bc the friend that i blocked sent a screen shot of something i said, to my other best friend, it wasn't something bad at all, it was just a some thing, but i started to shake and i couldn't breathe bc i kept thinking that that friend sent screen shots of our conversations to someone else too, i hate the thought that someone knows something about me, anything, like that i'm cold, if i don't want them to know.
I made a huge thing out of nothing, and i scared my friends...
It's not the first time too, before i kept thinking that i'll buy the phone from 10 years ago so the government can't track me, that i'll erase Facebook and Messenger bc the fucking government reads my messages and "knows me"...
I'm scared that i have some mental illness to be honest, or that it will develop in illness in future bc i'm still young, i'm 15...
So if you have also some experience with this, please tell me, i'm kind of scared of myself... Really...
Thanks anyway.

3) I also feel uncomfy if people talk about me in general.. bc if they do it's mostly gossip and bad mouthing you, you know? In terms of things like sharing screenshots just explain you don't like your convos shared as you feel they are personal. If they're your friends they'll understand basic idea of privacy
4) my mom sometimes say I'm paranoid. I think I have a gift of seeing the worst likely outcome of something or the worst possible motive someone may have if I feel someone has wronged. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes the person was just negligent or has low EQ And didn't understand wtf they were doing was offensive and borderline hostile
5) if you feel being paranoid is becoming too much, try to better yourself then. Whenever you think negative, pause, and ask yourself "is this really based on fact? Is there another way to look at the situation? Could this person not have done things on purpose specifically to harm me? Was this person simply not thinking? Or negligent? Or inconsiderate? And not malicious per se?"
And you'll find most people aren't actively out to get you or harm you... But they just do things (many times not thinking) that may indirectly or accidentally lead to you being harmed or upset in some way.
If you still can't help but be paranoid, see a psychologist
Take care :)
