does anxiety give you paranoia? Sometimes if my family is out longer than i thought it should take I get really worried something bad happened or if my friend takes longer than usual to reply i feel like he died (fyi: this could have started bc my best friend died from an accident 5yrs ago and it's made me paranoid but I'm not sure) or something bad happened. Especially if they don't answer at all, i get anxiety and can't do anything until i hear from them

Also sometimes home alone i get a creppy feeling so i get paranoid something might happen or someone is outside (twice people have tried breaking into our house so the paranoia could be from that) 

In general, are paranoia and anxiety connected?
