Fear of False Accusation
For about a month I have been incredibly and extremely fearful of being falsely accused of a horrific crime. I’ve feared not only my character and reputation being ruined, but also going to prison, getting raped/killed in jail, etc. The paranoia and rumination of this fear in my head had been paralyzing and sucking the life out of me.
I recently was diagnosed a few months ago with bipolar and I recently told my psych and therapist about this fear . While they assured me I didn’t have to worry and could relax, now I fear I shared with them too much and they might suspect me because of my paranoia. I have also been told I may suffer from PTSD. Am I crazy? Can anyone else relate? Am i alone? I have never in my life been this paranoid and filled with fear before. Heck, I’m afraid posting this.
