Does anyone have a creeping suspicion?

I know this sounds like paranoia, but my psychology teacher said it was a panic attack, but whenever i turn away from my bedroom door when im trying to go to sleep, i get really scared that someone is coming into my room. This doesnt happen just then, but also when i eat cereal in my kitchen, my back would be facing two entrances and i cant help but keep glancing behind my back, and when i dont do this, i get real scared that someone is about to strangle or stab me, or i would turn around and it would be a hideous monster of some sort. Even when i take off my shirts, i do it fast, because i think that when my shirt is pulled off from my face, there will be someone there. Am i the only one who thinks this way?? This usually only happens when im alone. My whole family thinks that i am afraid of the dark, but in reality, im just afraid of being alone, because when i go outside in the dark there isnt really anyone out there that could see if someone was behind me. Anyone feel like this?

Yes I go through this too..I dont really know what happened to me in the past but when im in the shower washing my face I wash off quickly to make sure im aware of my surroundings..sometimes I feel someone is staring at me like a ghost or something...I am afraid of the dark and sleeping alone and im 24...I am trying to get rid of this trauma but its hard...I would like to know what started it...
Reply:I know what you are talking about and I feel you. I don't like having my back to door either and windows for that matter. I also feel like that when I am driving by myself,I always look in my rear view mirror to Check the back seat. I don't know if I have seen to many scary movies or if I really am paranoid.
Reply:This usually happens when you have a trauma of something youve experienced earlier .This leads to phobia .





trya nd facing youre fear and turn behind then you realise theres nothing there.and your fear will be overcomed shortly











then consult a pchychiatrist or someone whos expert in treating trauma.this could really be dangerous if there was REALLY someone behind you and tried to hurt you physically.


hope this helped..XD
