Do I have 'Paranoia'?


Question:
I'm goign to see a doctor next week but I'm realllyy nervous that my friends will tease me if I find out. Basically two years ago my sister died of an unknown lung disease and now I think EVERYTHING bad is going to happen;It never ever happened before; from getting cancer to zombies taking over the world(sounds ridiculous but I actually can't sleep now o____o), to getting stabbed. Every other week I think I have a disease and its even stopped me going somewhere with mates. I also keep thinking I'm fat when in the back of my mind I know I'm not.do I have paranoia? And what do doctors do about it? I'm really scared...

Answers:
Definitely Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - it's a phase and it will pass if you keep working away at your disorder. Maybe it's worth speaking to a therapist about it.
Sounds like some Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, not uncommon after such a loss. The doctor will talk to you to evaluate it. You may end up being put on some sort of meds and/or talk therapy to work through the issues inside of you. Good luck.
search for symptoms on google or something, that will help. it is possible and i think everyone gets paranoid at one time or another
It is just in your mind. Being too much anxious you will trigger some other diseases just calm down and you will be fine.
I am assure you we all have that feelings when it comes to routine medical check ups and from your past loss this add more stress in your mind
Good luck
I think you should see your doctor, and if you don't want your friends to find out then don't tell them. I do feel, however, that you would benefit from having someone to talk to. This could be a close friend whom you trust, or your doctor can probably put you in touch with a counselor; just ask when you see him/her
Just hang in there its easy to run away with things just keep it real
You have PTSD, not paranoia. That's post-traumatic stress disorder. Your sister died, and you are naturally hypersensitive to your surroundings. It's in your head. Surround yourself with calming, peaceful things, and it will help you. Paranoia is internal, PTSD is external. If your friends tease you, straighten them out. See the doctor, and he will probably repeat what I just typed here, but he can give you meds. Listen carefully to the doctor, and you'll be helped. Good luck. . . .
