To experience rapid onset temporary phobias?

Alright, so, since I was young, I have always had a phobia of spiders, But recently, I have been experiencing sudden periods of temporary panic from phobias that come and go on a nightly basis, different each time. For example, its currently 5:00 Am, I am not asleep because I have started to believe that if I close my eyes for too long, invisible entities are going to tear me limb from limb. When I think about it, its clearly irrational... but, try to close my eyes, and sheer panic forces them open against my will. I also keep seeing black masses out of the corner of my eyes, but this may be sleep deprivation induced optical illusions. Still, I cannot shake the feeling that something is causing these sudden nightly phobias. Who knows, maybe tomorrow night I'll become terrified of chicken wings.

    Time to see the psychiatrist my dear. I don't know you but I do care so don't put it off.

      Heh, thanks, but, psychiatrists have been unable to help so far, and I have seen many over the years. They always end up saying, "Take two of these before bed". Drugs are never the answer, whether doctors prescribe them or not.

          Well, I have now completely redone my sleep patterns, I am now nocturnal, since i cannot sleep at night, so I now sleep in the day, and am up at night... its kind of interfering with scheduling things though.

    Invisible entities can't do physical shit.
