1st post on here

Have become extremely paranoid over a number of months. Have an ongoing battle with a situation that happened to me when I was 14yo. Visions and voices getting worse I think everyone knows what happened to me, even though I know that's not true (I think). Hardly go out unless for appointments. Finding it hard as I have this feeling that no one believes me.Really don't want to carry on this absolutely 💩life

this sounds like a bad association. we make links with the past. really non of your thoughts should have any kind of association on them when you have them. we naturally link bad thoughts onto our daily thinking.

an example, and this is purely an example "I cant get a partner because I'm fat," we call it a negative automatic thought or NAT, people live their live assuming that they cannot exist now, because they have associations that prevent them from feeling this way.

Non of your thoughts should have things linked to them, weather you blame someone for torturing you or just because you feel bad about things that are no longer are an issue.

You cannot have a happy life unless you start to realise that bad associations are not actually your 'here' thoughts but paranoia attaching themselves to your thoughts.

Try from now on to spot the tail on your thoughts and consciously try to make an effort to live today, for your now thoughts, rather than your was or has been thoughts. none of your thought associations are to do with how you actually feel. And how you feel is what is actually happening and not what your brain tells you is happening.

we have attachments to our thoughts, and I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that that is wrong. At least if you start to point them out to yourself you are doing better than getting caught up in them, tell yourself 'you should not be happening, it has nothing to do with what's happening to me right now'.

if your interested in this type of thinking try looking into CBT or cognitive behavioural therapy. its about loosing the parts of you that are not really happening. more or less.

Hey Kev7

I hope you got better up to now somehow, it seems a difficlut situation to you, did you have any friends left right away? Or any close relatives? Try to talk to someone trustful and bring out all you have in your heart, I dont what has happened to you in 14 but you know it well, we are here to support you, I am alone too and feel terrible at the moment writing this for you, show your strength before giving up
