Mental Breakdown Paranoia

Post Reply New Topic

I'm off work at the moment after having a major meltdown breakdown, on leaving work i accused a work colleague of secretly filming me in the toilet, i also never leave my cup of coffee unattended incase someone puts drugs in e.t.c.

Prior to the allegation when using the toilet cubicle i would turn the aerosole can away from me thinking that a camera was in their.

Is this an AS feeling or something else?

Could have to do with it after having a major meltdown. Just inability to rationalize, or the overwhelming/stress leading up to it to begin with.

I notice when I'm really stressed out, I do tend to lash out a lot more, and I tend to watch over my shoulder a lot more if in public. Like I'm just waiting for someone else to do something to push me over the edge, lol.

Once, at work, I was fired because someone had left some diet sodas on my desk-it could have been whoever used my cubicle before me, but at the time I didn't care, and I had a rather... severely overweight friend at the time (she would come by to say "hi" when I was on breaks at work, and we'd always see people just staring at her), so I took it very personally. This was after a pretty rough morning to begin with, and I threw the biggest hissy fit over those sodas sitting there on my desk, took it very personally, and wound up being asked to leave.

I still to this day think of it as a dig at my friend pulled by someone near my desk, but only when I'm really irritated, if I get to thinking about it.

Other times I'm able to rationalize it now as long as I'm not overwhelmed or stressed out altogether.

Some AS do have co-morbid paranoia, but it is not a symptom of AS.

This sounds unrelated to AS per se. Maybe, as anxiety25 suggested, it's a result of your recent meltdown. But these feelings of paranoia sound like something separate. You may want to consider talking to a mental health professional about the paranoia, so that it's properly dealt with.
