In my practice a client does not have to say anything about himself, apart from a few symptoms. If you want to do self-therapy and not talk to any therapist, please read:

Conquering Anxiety, Depression and Fatigue Without Drugs - the Role of Hypoglycemia, by Prof. Joel H. Levitt
Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder

The most common silent disease resulting in depression is hypoglycemia. Most people feel better if they adopt the Hypoglycemic Diet. However if problems persist I suggest you study: Silent Diseases and Mood Disorders and ask your doctor to be referred to a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychotherapist, for further tests and diagnosis and treatment.
Following nutritional treatment, a self-help psychotherapy course may often prove useful in overcoming any remaining "psychological" issues.

I know it's hard to trust someone you don't even know. But treat every conversation on a case by case basis. If something makes sense to you, why not try it? You can always stop trying it if you don't like it.

Yes, Paranoid Personality Disorder. Look it up on Wiki or in DSMIV-TR.

If you have paranoid feelings about a therapist and feel reluctant to express your feelings it is most likely that you believe falsely, that your illness is "psychological". IOWs, you are responsible for your illness. This comes under the label of


Mental Illness is a Disease of Delusions

If you accept that mental illness is simply a physical disease, you don't need to be paranoid about it.

If you don't trust a particular therapist, you may need to switch. However, if you don't trust any therapist, you may need to explore that with a therapist. It's important to be able to trust a therapist because if you're unable to open up to one you'll be unable to get all the help you need.

The fact as stated that you have told them things that I can't even tell my parents clearly indicates to anyone who can be bothered to read your post that you are beset by feelings of regret and anxiety because you have opened up to a stranger. There is absolutely nothing unusual with regard to feeling like this and paranoia is just an unrelated word without a formal diagnosis having taken place.

If you feel that any therapist will point you out in the street and tell everyone that you do xyz then ask yourself why they would ever commit professional suicide? This is because a betrayal of confidence is just the absolute end for any therapist or do you imagine that they would rather be unemployed?
