Is it normal to be this scared

For the past few months now I have been becoming self paranoid about everything when I'm in my house, I don't live alone I'm just a teen with one sibling and parents. But I get paranaoid that something or someone is watching me or waiting to get me. At night I can't be in a room that doesn't have a light on I feel like something is around the corner when I turn corners and when i turn around I feel like something is behind me
Please help me I can't deal with this much longer!!!

    i have this same fears and i am 28 years old is difficult for me to say home by myself. You should try talking to a therapist about it, you might be having slight panic attacks.

    Why do you fear it so much? You have the potential to be strong, powerful, and intelligent. So do it and grow up from these fears. I don't mean that you shouldn't fear somethings and worry sometimes but its your home. If you can't even feel safe at your home then where will you feel safe. Just relax and calm down. You will be ok. Think about what makes you feel safe and what makes you scared/paranoid. Maybe this will help.

    Practice not being scared. I assure you you're just over imagining. Open the windows or something.

  • This is my favorite "Masters of Horror" episode. Its called: "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" . It deals with a woman who is made to face her fears and has a surprise ending. Enjoy.

  • Get over it. I once slept five days in a rundown house with no electricity or running water where at least two people have died, and I wasn't scared one bit.

    I feel like this a lot. Sometimes I hear things and imagine-see things and just sit in the middle of my bed and cry. :/
