im not 100% sure if thats the correct phrasing, but my paranoia has reached new levels. it feels like the opposite of dissociating (which i do a lot) where im so overwhelmed by things, but instead of just detaching or losing myself, i try to focus on everything all at once and my grasp on whats real gets jumbled. i had a really embarrassing experience the other night because of this. id rather not describe the whole situation, but i was threatened with hospitalization (something i cannot let happen) and im pretty afraid that it will come to that. i keep having fear of being stalked, or the feeling that my friends and family are planning to trick and hurt me - and when i get worried about it it escalates to the point where i think everyone is trying to kill me. i dont think that all the time but even when i feel calm or normal, i cant fully discount the idea. is this a part of bpd? or common for other sufferers? has anyone else had success with lessening this through DBT and other common borderline exercises / programs, or do i need to try tackling this separately?
