Family help: i feel so… paranoid. - Help.com

i feel so…

paranoid. This week is the week that I’ve been dreading all year and it’s finally here! And i have millions of thoughts in my head right now.

I always think that many people hates me. And this time i keep thinking that my family hates me cos of my wrongs in the past.. and I don’t wanna attend my sister’s wedding this week cos of that! I don’t like what they think of me and I am not the person they think i am! I hate the fact that I’m always the bad apple!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am i so paranoid??????????????? How do i not care?! How can I just screw what they’re thinking and move on???

I’m sorry you feel this way around your family. You must not be that bad ’cause bad people don’t care and you do. Therefore you’re not bad! haha Why do you think they hate you if you don’t mind my asking? wanna talk about it?

Take care of yourself first. If you can’t handle going, then don’t. Get some advice from a counselor if you can- paranoia can be serious…

because.. well, i’ve distance myself from them earlier this year cos of a lot of things. The main point is i dont wanna get hurt by them anymore… and 3 months ago i told my cousin abt my point of view of my family.. And i think she told her mum and her mum thinks that I just created something up to make my cousin think badly of my other relatives.

I regret telling her now because now i don’t know what they will think of me. I hate the fact that they always say that I resemble my mother and I don’t like it one bit. ( my mom abandoned us when i was 5 )

Now every day i think of what they will think of me.

I feel that they hate me……………………..

I’m sorry. Sometimes the people we get dealt with as family come up short and that isn’t fair! It isn’t right that they keep compairing you to your mother. Do they know how you feel when you say that?
Are you and your sister close? Maybe you should go to the wedding. I know it will be hard because of all these emotions but you don’t have to stay the whole time. Show them that your the bigger person and will be their to support them even tho at times they are not there for you. This way maybe you can talk things out with them kind of get these feelings behind you! This is just mearly suggestion dear, hope it may help.:)

well they are ignorant towards my feelings because they think i am overreacting. Me and my sister used to be close but we had a big fight earlier this January and we didn’t talk since. I have no problem going to the wedding and show her I’m the bigger person, but I just can’t stand the fact that I have to sit with relatives that think bad of me. It’s hard……

how do i make myself to stop caring about what they think?! It’s eating my mind now… I keep thinking abt it day and night…

Your absolutley right it is hard situation but not impossible. I believe you are a good person because if you weren’t you wouldn’t care so much about what your family thinks about you. Maybe give your sister a call and just make small talk go from there. You said something about your cousin earlier. Could you talk to her about it? Maybe that would make you feel a little more at ease with the situation. Right now just take a deep break and breathe honey. I know this is stressing you out but it’s not for another week. Bring someone you trust with you to the wedding that can be your back up if things get sticky. At least then you can have another persons opinion if your ideas of your family are correct. Who knows hopefully everything will work out and things will be ok! I hope for you the best:)
