Hi Again,
Sorry to post this so soon after another question, but its another 4 weeks until I see my PDoc so wanted some advice. My main fear is that I have schizophrenia, and I know that being paranoid can be a part of this...so here is my symptoms.
Recently at work or home, if I am making a coffee or cup of tea, and I use someone elses milk (Steal in a sense!) for a moment I worry about the possibility that perhaps someone 'may' of put LSD (Or a drug) in it. Or done something untoward to it to ward off other people using it...I realize this is silly and sounds irrational...
Taking LSD/Drugs is one of my biggest fears, I know that the thought is totally irrational, and that no one should or would do this, but it still instills me with instant fear.
I will still use the milk (Or item in question) but just the thought entering my mind,causes it to stay for a while, and causes me a lot of distress, as I then assume I am being very paranoid and thus display a classic symptom of potential Schizophrenia? I should I add I don't believe anyone is out to get me etc, but I do massively over worry- for instance if I sleep with someone I will be convinced I may have HIV (Until tested), or the other night some random stranger was sleeping outside in a car - and I was quite worried in-case he was some stranger that might break in etc. Also one of my friends from martial arts who I normally attend with, stopped talking to me for a few days (Turns out because he was extremely busy)...after dwelling for some time I thought it could be because he thought I was a ********* - we both go to karate - and lots of children attend, and I thought for some reason he may think I was...I'd like to add I definitely am NOT (Aged 31 in a stable relationship), and 100% did nothing to make any person think that I was, and again I knew it was irrational and silly - but could not shake the hugely upsetting thought!
Please any thoughts on this? Is this paranoia or intrusive thoughts?
