Is it normal that i still fear the man under my bed?

When I was a small child, I believed that after dusk, there was always someone under my bed who would, given the opportunity, grab my ankles and drag me under the bed to eviscerate me. Because of this, I couldn't stand idly by my bed for more than one second.

Many years have passed since then, and I have long dispensed with absurdities such as the man under my bed. The thing is, I still can't stand next to my bed after dark. When I walk to my bed, I reflexively turn, sit and swing my legs up, "out if reach". I've even stood there, determined to conquer this stupid habit. I stood three seconds before I collapsed sideways onto my bed. My knees just gave out for no readily apparent reason.

It's getting weird.

    Get rid of your bed frame and just have the mattress on the ground. Now hell have to hide in the closet... but which one?

    I did to, until a man actually came out from under my bed and raped me. He then left never seen him since.

    I usually walk and get into my bed really fast to avoid standing near the bed.

    Yes,

    I used to think there was something under my bed bud then I got a new bed that had another bed under the one I sleep on.so that way no one could be under there. But before I got the new bed in the middle of the day I would shove a bunch of crap under so no one could get under the bed.

    Ive got a solution. How about putting no legs under your bed and just put your bed on the floor. Thats what I do except with bunk beds. Maybe get two beds and put them on top of each other so that its higher.
