paranoia problem
I am having problems with a few things, but they all relate to paranoid tendencies.
At night, I have the feelings of someone trying to break in, or am scared that I am not going to wake up if we get broke into, or a fire breaks out.
Another problem, I am paranoid that my husband is cheating on me. Also, that he is trying to poison me to get me out of the way. I know that sounds nuts, but this is how I feel. It also feels like a conspiracy theory at times. I am always sick, and seem to be getting worse so. (I have been to doctors and had blood work, no problems with that).
Here's my question, does anyone know of any ways to help conquer, overcome, or cope with paranoid tendencies? Any help is appreciated, experienced or at least some knowledge is preferred.
Thanks.

Conventional theory concerning paranoia is about changing your belief system, for example; if you believe your husband bears ill will towards you, you’re probably not going to act very receptive towards him, which might lead to him feeling rejected and in turn not being receptive towards you. This leads to a degree to self full filling prophesy, meaning that you might take your husband’s lack of being receptive towards you as a sign that he really wants to hurt you. Another example is that if you allow your irrational thoughts to think you are sick, your body is going to act sick, even if there is nothing wrong with you.
One method to cope with your worries is to develop a rule within yourself. Identify which of your worries are irrational and discard them. All your worries are very possible, someone could very well break into your home, a fire could break out, and it is possible for your husband to cheat on you or kill you.
These things could happen to anyone, but why worry about events that are out of your control? More specifically why worry about potential events, to which you have no evidence that suggests they might happen? Work on identifying what you have control over and no control over, and emotionally letting go of what you have no control over. There are no guarantees in life and this is something we all have to come to terms with. I will also suggest seeking the services of a therapist to explore your life history about how your core beliefs were formed, which leads to your issues with paranoia.
-Good luck

First, make a list of the reasons you feel this way. Talk honestly and openly with your personal physician. Does your doctor know all your concerns? He or she can suggest a psychiatrist if they really think you are in need of one. Feeling sick and scared is not healthy and you need to get help immediately. You deserve to feel better and get help...don't give up!

You need to firstly figure out where these problems arose from.
You can't begin to fix them if you don't know where they started. Get back to me on that

Paranoia is basically fear, but escalated to a higher level.
There is something which is raising that fear which you need to identify.
Think back, is there any point in your life which might've caused this? Could it be a childhood memeory coming back? Basically, to be rid of fear, you need to face it and conquoer it. Think metally to your self or under your breath "I'm the stronger one, I can overcome my fear" and your confidence will grow.
Talk to your husband about your fears and he needs to help you through this. I know that it's hard to do this when you think he's going to poison you, but remember, he loves you and will always do and nobody or anything will destory that love which the two of you share.
The very best of luck with the future,

I get the same way. Not about the husband part tho. I constantly feel like someone is in my house or im being watched. i feel like im gunna get robbed because im a heavy sleeper What helps be is knowing that my dog is huge and scary or as i been toldd. And that someone is there with me. I have to share a room with someone because of it. Im young tho so whatever. But making sure everything is locked double check put stuff that if you get robbed might make noise or something. I havnt really gotta over that part. But maybee someone could help you more. If you find some ways maybe you could even help me. :] Srry if i couldnt help.
