Title: Paranoia Post by: Borderlinestar on January 03, 2017, 11:26:35 PM How does your feelings of paranoia manifest itself if you are borderline. I am not feeling very safe or belonging anywhere other than with my husband. I just feel weird. I am in a place where I am not destructive and deciding who I am.

To a person with BPD (pwBPD), feelings equal fact. Their type of paranoia is Paranoid Ideation and not Delusional Paranoia (unless there is some co-morbid condition, along with the BPD). Perhaps the quote below might help clarify the situation for you. Quote from: https://www.verywell.com/paranoid-ideation-425311 The Difference Between Paranoid Ideation and Delusional Paranoia Paranoid ideation is not the same thing as the delusional paranoia that can occur during psychosis. Delusional paranoia is based on false thoughts and beliefs. For example, if you are experiencing delusional paranoia, you might believe that the government has bugged your house and car in order to keep tabs on you. If you are experiencing paranoid ideation, you might see two people in the hallway talking and believe they are talking about you. The links below might be helpful in exploring your sense of self, which can be an issue when you have a family member with BPD.
