I feel i just dont know where i am, who i am, i just looked in the mirror and said who are you?
I dont know, i feel i dont fit in here, i i am paranoid about going insane. I have flucuating thoughts, up and down.
You know where you fit in is where you meet or stick to people and have a conversation. What the hell is wrong with me why am i not doing this.
I need to stick to people, but thats my problem.
My fears is im afraid that im not sticking to people, well knowing people. I stay to myself. NO. i dont want that. No no no.
i have had many posts before about just me.
But there all old, there forgotten.
I need to work on social skills, there is some thing that has to be done.
I need, i just need someone to tell me this.
And start talking more.
Matt

>Matt, try not to frighten yourself by using the word "paranoid" to mean "afraid," even if you're extremely afraid.
The word "paranoid" in everyday speech is sometimes used to mean "frightened," or "suspicious," but that's casual usage. Paranoia, as a mental illness, is different from that..
Being afraid that you're crazy, doesn't make you crazy.
Wondering who you are doesn't make you crazy.
It could be you feel lost, confused, alone, or full of self-doubt. Those might be upsetting you, and you might need help with them, but they don't mean you're crazy.

Not a joke suggestion: Take the mirror down. Start with that. You really don't need it. It worked for me. You'll be fine. Try it.

Matt you're not getting enough sleep getting up at 5, jogging or running and then work all day. You need some rest and quiet and fun things and theraphy. Love Mom 2 Phillipa

Matt I think you've hit on a very key question that many of us try to ignore.
warm regards, Jake
