Hi, sorry if this is done wrong, I’m new to this subreddit. 

I’ve been struggling really bad with paranoia thoughts and it’s been negatively effecting my day to day life. I had a falling out with a friend and my other friends have been slowly leaving me. Every day I get paranoia about those closest to me leaving or just being alone. I get horrible fears I’m being talked about behind my back and that this ex-friend is trying to take everyone away from me.

I wanted to know if there’s any techniques anyone uses to help with paranoia or those sorts of thoughts? Thank you so much.
