Paranoid of Everything


Question Posted Wednesday March 28 2012, 7:43 am

I'm scared of every single thing. Like, really! Like when someone puts up their arms quickly I step back fast, you know? And i'm scared of bugs when i cant sleep, i'm scared of clowns, i'm scared of being bullied, i'm scared of sitting by the door in classes, ect. Why is this? And how can I fix this?

I heard of a "worry stone" but I don't know where to get one...

Everyone is worried about something, its how you handle it. Most people are scared of bugs, clowns, and everything else you listed. Everyone has deep fear, but remeber you cant let fear rule your life. My teacher told me that you only live once and you have to make many memories before you die, either you rule your life or you let fear rule it. I used to super scared of being embarrased, bullied, bugs and everything, but now i understand that there really nothing you need to worry about. I can hold a spider ad even touch one without being scared. Tryto think "I AM GONING TO RULE MY LIFE." before you do something and remember youre probably not going to come across those things anyways. hope this helped.

Hello :)

Well, everyone is scared of something or another. Its completely natural.

What you describe does seem different though.
1. It is a normal human instinct to go back when someone puts their hands up quickly, or makes a sudden movement.
2. Many people are scared of bugs.
3. Many people are afraid of clowns.
4. No one likes to be bullied.
5. I've never heard of being afraid of sitting by doors.


I'm not a doctor, and so I can't tell you why you feel what you feel, but it does seem odd because you seem to give the impression that these fears have taken over your life. Many people are scared of a few things, e.g. I don't like insects, heights, and snakes. But there's never been a situation when I have been on the roof of a high building, covered in insects with a mass of snakes approaching me. Your fears seem to be fears of everyday things "sudden movements, doors, bullying).

Now have you been bullied before? By friends, peers, family etc? This may go to explain that.

My opinion is to see a psychiatrist or a Councillor at school. They can really help by examining the way you think. You should not let the price (if any) put you off, as it is your health at the end of the day. If you feel you cannot enjoy your life because of these fears, then you must act on it.

In regards to a worry stone, don't waste your money. It's just a stone, which the manufacturer/retailer says helps you to stop worrying. They're not very expensive, but they're not scientifically proven to help. The only help that may come from it, is psychological. By that, I mean you are carrying it, and so you feel that it is working and so forget your fears.

If you do want to buy one badly though, you can buy them online for not very much at all. Or a local 'new age' store.

In short, see a doctor if you are really worried by the situation! Good luck, and I hope I helped :)
