I have been thinking that my paranoia might be stemming out of a couple of things that i went through a long time ago and then almost 6-7 years ago. i think i really get afraid of the stigma of what some people might label me as. I guess something to talk to with my therapist.

People mean well,but they can't diagnos this condition. Family,and friends need to except you how you are. When it's like this,it's not weekness,it's a serious condition,or many conditions combined. It's like finding your way out of a maze.
I would recommend for you to go to a councillor. You mentioned Faith in your first post. Hold on to it. I have.
I take seroquel,Luvox,and Xanax. I have tryed to live without medications,and have had mixed reactions. When it came to the point where I had anxiety pain in my chest,my councillor put me back on medication.
I also have a social phobia,and I sit in the back row of the crowd. It's a tormenting condition to have.
I use to think that I was the only one in the world like this.
Because of the old stigma that this was a shameful thing,I didn't talk about it. Some people may be able to snap out of it. I couldn't.
My condition was much worse then a surface condition. It became very complex,and I became very troubled,and lost my vision of my future.
