Like fiesty, I do grounding things like breathing and asking myself what exactly I think and feel. After I recognize my state I say to myself something good about the reality I feel. Also sometimes I share my paranoid thought out loud to someone else (usually my husband).

I'm also just branching into paranoia. I typically try to ground myself, try to focus on what I know for sure is real and happening around me, and not feed the randomness. You are recognizing it!!! That's really great already.
