paranoia

I don't know if there's something in the air or something but I've been in this constant state of paranoia and I don't know why. I can't even stay home by myself but I also can't be outside because I'm terrified of something happening. 

I'm constantly wearing one of those tattoo chokers around my neck and it hasn't bothered me until recently. I feel restricted and at random points I can't breathe. I don't know why I'm so paranoid all of a sudden. 

I was talking to my friend about it and she told me it was probably because of all the college talk (as someone who has no idea whether I'm going or not) but it feels like something more.
