does anyone know how to deal with Paranoid Personlity disorder?
I do think I do I have this disorder I have all the signs of having this but I'm afraid of seeing someone,I'm afraid that they won't believe me or that they say they want me to go to group threapy. I freak out everytime someone tells me that they want me to do group threpy I shut down. I starting to fell depressed from this and getting panic attacks too. I keep thinking my boyfriend is going to cheat on me or someone is going to backstab me in some way. I can't get these stupid thoughts and feelings to go away. Is there anything I can do without seeing people about it....

You need CBT, it is a therapy but that's what you need. It doesn't need to be group based you can do it one on one with a therapist until you feel comfortable enough to join a group. You can not solve this alone and you need to seek help. The CBT helps you understand your thought processes and why you think the way you do, in your case I really think you could benefit from this, just give it a try. Good Luck (

I have Paranoid Personality Disorder and OCD. What treatment(medication) should I take to treat this?
I want to be in more control of my life and the changes coming within it.
Does the medication you take make you have problems, down there? Does it make you quiet, or doe it just make you stay in control?
----------
I have OCD and take Fluvoxamine daily. It slows things down just enough so that I can recognize "obessive" thoughts when they occur. This allows you, over time, to ignore or not be so bothered by them. Your psychiatrist will probably have you try a few different SSRI class medications until you find one that works well for you. My experience is that once you find the right meds, you can lower the dosage to a "maintenance" level that doesn't interfere with your life but treats the symptoms. Good luck. (

Paranoid personality disorder can be cured?
For the last 10 years (I'm 23 now) I have been having problems communicating with people. Lately I started to think that I might have some mental problems.... So I think I have paranoid personality disorder. I distrust almost all the people, most of the time being in big groups of people I feel nervous, and I'm sensitive to jokes about me. Because of that, I have no friends, I have problems with people at home and at work.
What should I do? How can it be cured? Please, help!
----------
Yes, it can be cured. THis is obvious because we have control over our personality. What you need to do is find a good cognitive-behavior psychologist. Good luck. (
