Extremly parinoid

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

But for a good long time Ive been extremly paranoid and worrying about rape... I know its weird. But its happened to a few of my friends and it happened to someone I dont even know but it tore me apart because my niece was the same age as her and why it bugged me so much. But I am way to paranoid and worry about it happening to someone I know and love. :( We all live in the country, "Safe" towns you can say but I still worry alot... I want it to stop! Its on my mind of me worrying about it 24/7!! *** Im not worried it happening to me but others***

The only way you can really stop worrying is by somehow convincing yourself that you are safe. Of course, this is no easy task.
I'm assuming you are most worried whenever you are out. If this is the case, then see if there is anyone you can walk with. If not, then just make sure you are at least near people, not necessarily people you know. It is much less likely (already in an extremely unlikely situation) for anything to happen when this is the case.

The worry will always be in the back of your head though, probably. Just find a way to push it back. If you cannot convince yourself fully, then just make sure that you aren't obsessing over it, and over thinking everything, because it will probably only get worse if that happens.


And, I'm going to move this to mental illnesses since you are discussing paranoia, and it's hypothetical after effects; not ones that have happened to you personally.

Just reassure yourself that you're in a SAFE area. If you're worried talk to them and tell them to keep themselves safe and not to go out late at night or to any strange parties. I'm sure your friends will be fine :)

Install sliding metal doors on your anus. Works for me.

Thats actually funny! xD But... Im not worried about me! Im worried about others and this happening to them, of the female gender.

If they aren't strong enough to defend themselves against a rapist, so be it. Accept it. you just gotta get over it bro.

Extreme paranoia is a real medical condition. You should seek advice from a medical professional to confirm a diagnosis. If you suffer from paranoia or paranoid delusions, there are medications you can take for treatment as well as partake in psychotherapy. Good luck!
