Pre-order my new upcoming book, "The Art of Being Broken: How Storytelling Saves Lives!"

Let me give you all the biggest tip to break free from paranoia...the first thing you need to do is get into your mind that its not about stopping paranoia its about being something else or someone else, there's fear and there's confidence, instead of fighting fear, pursue confidence...look for everything you can on being confident and self assured and replace the existing delusional programme ...you owe it to yourself to not only be anxiety free but also happy at peace and confident, once you take those steps the fear or paranoia will slowly but surely be removed from your memory and that background noise will disappear....Ps, always pray to God for confidence and freedom from fear too.. Yah bless

I try to just focus on the fact that I'm breathing and still alive and pray in my head telling God how thankful i am to be alive and to please be merciful to me. I also sometimes try to calm myself by saying "If 'They' wanted me dead, i would already be gone." Plus I try to tell myself that God will protect me as long as i don't hurt anyone or my self.

I realized that I've been acting super anxious to the point of being paranoid as of late when I was thinking these similar thoughts about being targetted or people out to get me, it's caused some seemingly irreversable chaos in my personal relationships and I'm glad that there's content out here like this to help me try and fix it. Thanks.

i have complex ptsd and i have this insane fear that people are spying on me. even when i logically know this is false i FEEL like it's real. i pride myself on trying to remain as logical as possible, so feeling my mind literally split in two and fight over whether this fear is real or not drives me up a wall every day. im strangely happy to see that im not alone. i hope everyone recovers well.

[TrustInGod_]

So thankful to know I'm not completely alone in this feeling. Sometimes i literally feel like I'm alone in feeling so paranoid. Thank you for having the courage to make these videos! You are saving lives.

A night or two ago, I had a very vivid nightmare and woke up covered in sweat. my heart was pounding with fear. The nightmare was random faces looking through windows in the house. Got up & had to shut all the blinds because I believed a stranger was outside, stalking me. Someone in my house then opened a door & I heard it ..freaked out because I thought the stranger had broken in. It was just my brother in the bathroom. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I gotta say I feel pretty proud of myself because I already do a lot of these..I personally have chronic guilt and delusions that because I do something wrong some other totally unrelated thing is going to happen..it’s bad..but yea whenever I get those thoughts I just turn to logic and say to myself that whatever I think will happen won’t help change the situation or help correct my behavior and that the best way I can make up for what I’ve done is doing better and focusing on the present..I’ll also think random people are spitting in my drinks and that planes are emitting signals to fuck with me and I just gotta reassure myself that that’s probably not happening. Most people don’t care enough to do that, even if they don’t like you. Listening to Alan Watts talk about guilt and staying in the moment has been a major help in continuing my recovery and bringing sanity to my life..also sharing with people that care..which if you are delusional you’re probably a lot cooler than you give yourself credit for. Stay strong everybody and keep it logical ❤.

As someone who also suffers with paranoia due to PTSD, I would be too paranoid to admit to people I’m paranoid. Never know who will take advantage of that. Just thought of people knowing scares the shit out of me.

[stephbowler]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Truthfully, I've dealt with this most of my life but never told anyone about it so I appreciate you being so open about it. Yes logic and checking my surroundings and reminding myself that I'm safe has helped me.

[kellygordon]

It's a lot for me keep me in prayer

[Icemanr]

Very brave brother. You really helped me today i went in quite deep and it makes me not want to live when bad. Lying down ate some food and did the hand thing helped reduce by 50 oer cent

[Expansion]

Great video bro! The only coping mechanism that helps me is asking people I trust if what I’m thinking is valid or not. I can’t trust my own head so asking people I trust really helps and 99% of the time they say I’m just paranoid. I feel bad about myself because of my mental health situation. Appreciate you bro God bless

[SoulSippin]

Thanks man struggling with ptsd lately this helps

[Armageddon-rx]

I like using the Palm thing, I will try that. I take my shoes off & walk on grass or carpet wherever I am,
too ground me in the moment & stop focusing on delusions or flashbacks. Thanks Kev

[Sly_Jukes]

I wanna say a massive thanks to you Kev, just you talking about it which isn’t easy to do has helped me and is probably helping thousands of people. Appreciate you heaps man

[marasanders]

Thank you so much… I struggle with paranoia almost every day ❤ 4:01 this has helped me aswell in the past

[robinsmith]

Sending lots of love to you and yours Kevin.

[MollyWop-yupu]

I suffer from paranoia, and I must admit certain triggers are hard to overcome. Loving family members feels it’s best to not talk about these triggers, but they don’t understand it can be a coping mechanism. I attend therapy, and take medication.💊 I’m looking 👀 for new ways to cope and this helped. Thank you 🙏🏾.

[matursirbisbay]

Im paranoid for things that have actually happened to me.
