how can i deal with this kind of suspicion about people
or paranoia? i've had these suspicions a lot of my adult life about people and about people in general now in the present, just thinking people know things about my private life, because i've been gossiped about to people or portrayed falsely to people, and now people know things about my private life or have a false perception of me because of what they've been told?
and even worse, people- women know things about me, but they're not coming out about it and telling me directly what they know or what they've been told about me? and that would make me very enraged.......also, because of what people have been told, lots of people don't want to interact with me now, because they've been put off me?
now i've got no evidence for these suspicions, just things i suspect.....my elderly mother keeps trying to ground me in reality telling me that all these thoughts and suspicions about people are not true, it's all my paranoia and me being ' delusional'.....and my mum does help me when she grounds me in reality..................but then the paranoid suspicions come back and i suspect people know things about my private business because they've been told about me and told lies about me....and now people have accepted these false gossip about me and have had their perceptions changed?
i really need help with how to to rid myself of these paranoid thoughts, i appreciate no one here is a mental health expert, but if you can just reassure me with what you know? and, do you know things about me?
