**Disclaimer**
I am not looking for a diagnosis from anyone on here of course. Just looking for anyone who may share similarities.

I have never been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, but I’ve been “examined” by psychiatrists incase I am struggling with it along with Borderline Personality Disorder. 
For me, I always keep my mind open for whatever else can happen later on in my adulthood.
It seems it is just a lot of anxiety and my own paranoia that can come across like it at times. 

I occasionally think people (someone genuinely in the room who didn’t say a word) are talking to me when they aren’t. Occasionally get scared of things out of the corner of my eye I see. I occasionally hear someone is knocking at the door when no one is, very paranoid. 
During all of this, I feel in close touch with reality though, I just become extremely anxious and fearful.
I hope I can explain it’s never delusions and once I realize no one said my name, no one knocked at the door, etc, I believe it, but I have a lingering fear, like an anxiety comedown. 

This doesn’t happen long enough to where it’s taking over my life (unlike other symptoms I have with my disorders) but I have noticed it creeps up on me more in the winter time. 

Does anyone feel that their BPD paranoia can cause a lot of fear which can come across like an “aware Schizophrenic”?

No offense taken please by comparing my explanations to people genuinely diagnosed with Schizophrenia. I may not be explaining it the best. 
I actually have anxiety writing this for the thought of feeling misunderstood. 

Side Note: It’s Christmas Eve, I hope everyone is having a great night. Merry Christmas to this amazing subreddit! Take care of yourself.
