I am extremely paranoid either when I'm home alone or someone is in. When I go to sleep, I have to have everything covered up, including my ears and eyes just incase someone tries to talk to me or I see something. The duvet has to be over my head so noone can pull my hair. It gets to the point where when I'm taking my makeup off in the mirror I'm too scared to look in it just incase someone is behind me or next to me and I dont realise. And the fact that my bedroom is in the loft doesn't make it any easier. When I'm home alone, I have to check the rooms every so often just incase someone crept in, I make sure all the lights are on, doors are shut and curtains/blinds are closed. When I shower, I panic just incase someone is watching me within all the steam (making it hard to see) there's loads of other things but they are the main ones.
Is this normal? I haven't really spoken to anyone about it, because most of the time I'm home alone. Oh and I watch a great deal of horror movies, could that be the cause? Please help?

    I sometimes experience paranoia similar to that, but not everyday. You may have some form of OCD, which can be treated. Also, stop watching horror movies! I'm always at my most paranoid after watching scary movies, as I tend to let my imagination get away with me. Watching less horror movies will hopefully stop the paranoia.

    After watching lots of horror films maybe you are familiar with the term EMF "electromagnetic field" which can be put off by light fixtures and electrical sockets. Anywhere electricity can emit from. Has it been like this in other places? Has different places been more so than others? High EMF can cause this type of reaction. I would suggest getting a EMF detector. You could order one online I am sure at a reasonable price. Check all areas around your house. If the readings are high you could be a person who is sensitive to high EMF. If so this also means you could be sensitive to other things like ghosts and demons. Maybe have some psychic abilities? Also some drugs can cause paranoia.. Like Meth and some people are even paranoid on marijuana.

    Is there anything that would cause this fear like living in a dangerous neighbourhood or have you always been like this?

      I'm not entirely sure, I live in a safe area, nothing major has happened in my life that could cause it. I guess it all started when I got into my teens.
