Mirrors are favourites in horror movies,; there's something mysterious about them and they use that to scare you.
And now your imagination is running riot and you're running with it.
It's just doing it's job, of course, imagining things, feeding them to your conscious mind and letting you deal with whatever it throws at you.
Fear of things hidden in the dark's another one it'll throw at you.
I'm sure that you can rationalise the thoughts in your head usually, but, when it matters, you run with the fear.
These feelings won't go away on their own. You need to take practical steps to overcome these fears.
Have a close, trusted friend over to stay. Wait until dark and go around your house in the dark. Let your eyes become accustomed to it. There is nothing there to fear I promise. Go together to the bathroom. Talk about how you feel with your friend. Look in the mirror together. Turn the light on and off. The dark and mirrors are nothing at all to be afraid of.
Creeped out by mirrors when alone, in the dark, or showering.
