Paranoia has gotten a lot worse for me as years go on. Ranging from people talking about me when I was younger to now, people are out to get me. I was diagnosed with autism my whole life but now, doubts are setting in because my paranoia is getting worse.  I had a rule out diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. I truly resonate with both traits of autism and paranoid schizophrenia because I live in delusions. I avoid people because I'm afraid it will trigger an episode of my paranoia. Any advice on this? I feel doomed.
