Dealing with Paranoia and Anxiety

I recently had nightmares that someone would break in and seriously harm me, thankfully they stopped

I have hit those states a few times. I definitely think you should see a psychiatrist. I’d recommend getting diagnosed and put on medications. When you’re in those states it’s hard for things like therapy alone to work I feel like you really need some extra help to get a grasp on reality. They won’t judge you and actually you’d be surprised how common these sorts of things are. So many people with anxiety experience similar issues and these doctors hear about it all the time and take it very seriously!

I hope so. The more I think about it, the less scary talking to someone sounds?

I don’t think people would take your anxiety less seriously, I think they may get an insight as to why your anxiety is so bad and what triggers it and the thoughts you constantly have. I would definitely talk to a professional because they can help you take your next steps!
