I'm sorry to hear that you've been getting paranoid about things, especially when they are scary. It's not nice, I know, but it's nothing to feel ridiculous about either.

Paranoia can be a symptom of many things, including personality disorders. I think when talking to your doctor, you can mention that you've noticed things have been getting worse for you, in particular paranoid thoughts. Perhaps your doctor can review any medication that you are on to help deal with the thoughts? Or suggest a therapy that might help?

Whatever happens, it's important that you tell your doctor that you are feeling worse because of the paranoia. All it means is that you may need more treatment or support and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
