paranoia

1 year ago · 3 · Poetry, +2

i waste my time peeking behind my back,

paranoid of the unknown,

i convince myself it’s a form of self care,

to constantly watch out for myself,

but when i’m looking back,

i keep missing the important things right in front of me.

    If you really think you are paranoid get diagnosed by a doctor.

    I can understand what you are feeling. The only advice I have is to find a way to accept that you can’t control everything. It’s been a struggle for me to realize this as well, I still haven’t fully accepted it. It is still a very good thing to be aware and double-check, to look out for dangers, but sometimes you have to balance it out so that you are not letting fear overcome you.
