I have noticed over the years that i'm developing a fear for noises that break silence.
For example, a while ago i was asleep and i was woke up by my dad's phone, which was on low battery. so it was making a very loud beeping noise. I wasnt sure what it was when i woke up, so i listened some more. Then when it was really quiet it made the noise again and i was so scared. I refused to go downstairs by myself until I was sure the noise would stop or if there was other noise distracting me. It was morning as well, so it was light! is this normal?

    I get this too. Whenever this happens, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. My whole body violently shakes, sometimes I scream and jump. I guess it's because we don't expect the silence to be broken.

    Anxiety,guilt,shame,paranoid....these things can cause that to happen.is somethings in your life you feel bad about or constant worrying?is there something youve do or have done and your scared of being found out?maybe from your past.one thing that scares the hell out of me is a door knock.

    You seem to be very lucid about what is going on and why. Still, you are still fearful of an innocuous situation such as a phone ringing.

    Irrational fear is never healthy. If this is a passing occurrence, ignore it and try to get over it. If this noise reaction is chronic and is crippling you by making you incapable of moving at crucial times (imagine hearing a fire alarm and responding by remaining in a burning house), you should seek out a professional therapist about this as soon as you can.

    You are overly anxious ... You need to chill! Ask yourself " what is the worst thing that can possibly happen?" and get butt down those stairs..:)
