I use all the privacy software available but I still feel so vulnerable, so I am considering destroying and throwing out all of my tech. I have been super paranoid for a few years now, started showing symptoms of paranoia a few months after the Snowden leaks (2013), and I noticed that the level of my paranoia goes up every few weeks. All the news articles about tracking, spying etc. really take a toll on me. I have not been officially diagnosed. Did I finally go completely crazy or is it the right thing to do? I would be throwing out a lot of money though. Should I maybe seek professional help instead?

After posting this in a few other subreddits (you can read more about it in the threads on my profile) I am genuinely worried that I might have real, full-blown paranoia. Just trying to get a few more points of view. I am also scared of seeing a therapist because I don't want to get diagnosed something very bad like schizophrenia or something.
