Can anxiety lead to paranoia? The past week I’ve been stressed a lot. I’m soon to become 21 year old and as many other 20 year old I’m kinda lost in life. The thoughts of “what am I going to do with my life” came again and maybe that’s the reason I’m so anxious. I noticed that I’m a bit more defensive towards mostly a friend of mine. Sometimes I truly feel like she’s mad at me or something. Like I’m gonna read a message and then think “why did she replied this way? Did I say something wrong?” I’ve read about symptoms  of paranoia and I truly think I’m going insane or paranoid I don’t know. I don’t like it when my brain automatically thinks something bad about the motives of other people. Do you have any advice?
