Is it normal to be depressed/paranoid/scared all the time?

I am depressed and paranoid. I can't seperate the movies from real life. The other day I watched a scary movie with my sister and it was about a guy breaking into people's cars and killing them and now I'm afraid to walk outside at night, I run to my car and I check the back seat all the time. When I sleep I have to sleep with the covers over my head at night and I have to have a night light or I'd be afraid someone will be in the dark and come kill me. If I'm home alone, I lock all the doors and I have to have a tv on so I can focus on that and not the noises the house makes or noises from outside. Is it normal to feel this way all the time?

    I ALWAYS, when home alone, lock the doors and turn on a tv. But you shouldn't be afraid you should ask a parent and ask them what to do. Maybe u should take a break from scary movies and watch movies about butterflies! Lol

    I try telling myself its not real and that I'm fine and I still end up under the covers with a tiny part where I can see out to make sure no one is there. I feel like I see shadows in the night and its scary for me, but I don't have people I can talk to and I don't know how to fix it by myself. The only time I don't need the night light and don't need to hide under the covers is when I'm with my fiancée but hes in the army right now so hes away :(

    No, you have to just tell yourself that it was just a movie, and that it's not real. I mean, sure there is a possibility that something like that could happen in life, but it's very rare that it would happen to you. And if you can't take it, then just don't watch it. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. If that doesn't help, you could always talk to someone about this problem.

    Im on ninja mode all the time. I sometimes just start thinking randomly what if a robber broke in, what weapon id use to defend myself, how well will a coffee mug and a jar full of pencils put up a fight, etc. Then I like why am I thinking this dumb shit?
