hi I dunno if it will help as I've heard there are many causes... but I found this:

Some scientists believe paranoia may be a reaction to high levels of life stress. Lending support to this opinion is the evidence that paranoia is more prevalent among immigrants, prisoners of war, and others undergoing severe stress. Sometimes, when thrust into a new and highly stressful situation, people suffer an acute form--called "acute paranoia"--in which delusions develop over a short period of time and last only a few months.
When you were talking to me the other day you were saying you were in your first year at uni and it's quite hard work. Coiuld that be a cause for stress? Perhaps it was nough to triger it, or did you have the symptoms before uni?
Lol, don't know if that's any help... hope you fell better soon
