Why am I so paranoid?

Anytime I hear ANY noise, I panic and think, "I'm going to die."

Ptsd? Past trauma?

@BaldAndBold i don't remember anything traumatic happening in my past
@fluteacorn did you have nervous parents?
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@fluteacorn how long has this been going On?
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@BaldAndBold about 7months. Maybe a little longer
@fluteacorn what changed 7 months ago? New apartment, job?
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@BaldAndBold no. I think that might have been when i realized my dad is abusive toward me. Verbally and emotionally
@fluteacorn that's past trauma.
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@BaldAndBold i didn't think of that at first
@fluteacorn so it's the memories of him that's causing it. Try to move out if you can and counseling after.

@BaldAndBold i see a therapist. I also amin a program and meet with that therapist Monday through Friday since i know i need help.
@fluteacorn that's good. Talk to them about your urges to cut please.

@BaldAndBold She knows that I've had bad urges. The diary card we fill out everyday ask about sh and suicide urges and also if we acted on it
@fluteacorn what does she suggest to prevent you from doing it?

@BaldAndBold opposite to emotion and distraction are the main things
@fluteacorn have you ever cut before?
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@BaldAndBold yes. Last time was 3weeks ago
@fluteacorn I hear ice cubes, drawing on yourself with a pen or snapping a rubber band on your wrist can really help with the urges.

@BaldAndBold tried all of those. None work. I have tried them all several times.
@fluteacorn I don't know then 😞
