This is kinda weird but is anyone paranoid? I've been so paranoid lately. Like if I'm driving, I visualize me in a car crash. If my parents call, I get paranoid that they have bad news.

Anyone else?

There is a name for this - it’s called catastrophizing (no idea how to spell it though 😂). It is a symptom. You need a good psychiatrist to figure out if you are suffering from depression (which was the case for me which I was in denial about). I’m now on meds and see a therapist weekly. My mind still falls into that trap, but I’m better equipped to pull myself out. I truly think that without medical treatment it would have lead me to suicide

Yeah, I’m seeing my therapist about it next week.

I started to get more and more anxious/paranoid as I started working full time and studying all of my free time for the CPA.

I found that certain things make it worse. Like for me Red Bull for some reason made it worse than caffeine pills or Bang. Now I take caffeine pills in moderation and CBD to help mellow things out. Maybe there is a stimulant in your life?

Sometimes doing accounting 18 hours a day gets to my head regardless of stimulants and that is why I am seeing my therapist. You know, ying yang.

I would suggest, considering a therapist strongly. Also, maybe track your stimulant intake and see how that makes you feel, consider masturbating more/relieving stress/taking a minute for you more often, and find ways to make your work harder and your play more playful. I hate when I get home and can’t let go of work, I might as well be at work.

Not taking care of yourself is a big factor. Get good sleep, don’t over work/study you have to have a mental break so you don’t break down mentally. I even if it is 5 mins after an hour or two of work/study. Get up and get water or bathroom or just move.

It’s called “catastrophizing”, which is anxiety, and visualizing your car crashing while your driving might actually be suicidal thoughts. I know because I suffer from anxiety and depression and these symptoms describe me before I got help in the form of both medication for brain chemicals and therapy, which I truly believe saved my life. Please seek professional help - you will be glad you did. Life is too short to live with extreme anxiety all the time

It’s making me insane. Just recently my brother told me he is going on a trip with his friends and now I’m so nervous something bad is going to happen. Like I keep on running “what if” scenarios in my head and it’s exhausting. I hate being this negative. It makes no sense

Sounds like my girlfriend. You are not alone.

@SA1 is your girlfriend a Staff Auditor?🧐

All the time

Haha no, I'm not his gf. But I'm glad I'm not alone...it's comforting to know it's not just me. But Im starting to think there is something seriously wrong with me...What could be the reason for this and how can I make it stop?

Pwc1, yea maybe I'm in the same boat. But I've been in denial about my mental health for a long time...but this paranoia is kind of making me lose peace.
I'll def look into getting a better routine/rituals! Thanks!

Ya, all the time and for a long time. And then I’m always scared I’m going to get fired when someone at work calls me in their office. 😩

If you need someone to talk to, I’m here. Keep your head up. Being aware of your body and how you feel is the first step right!? Now just pay attention and listen to your body after certain foods, drinks, interactions. Continue the ones that make you feel better, and stop the ones that bring you down. Some stuff you can’t avoid, but just be aware of how they make you feel and know you can only control how you react and handle each situation and just let go of what you can’t.

You could also have people around you with negative energy. When I let go of people that brought bad vibes around, my energy changed for the better.

💛

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
