Afraid

    • Afraid

      Being alone is my worst fear in the world. Even being alone in the house for an hour. I hear things and see things. I'm likely to end up hiding somewhere small and cramped where hopefully no one will see me. I have to be asleep before everyone else goes to bed and in the middle of the night. I am even scared to get up or to make any sounds or turn any lights on. I'm not necessarily afraid of the dark, just what might be in it. And did I mention that I have a fear that everyone might hate me other than a couple friends that I have chosen who seem like rather nice people? Or maybe its just that I am afraid to get too close to people because I'm afraid they will only hurt me in the end. All I know is I'm scared that someone is out to get me. But who you ask? Well that I'm not too sure of.
      Anything that could help?

      As stated above, you can try to face your fears. Be sure to do it in baby steps.

      You also might have some sort of anxiety disorder; if you think that these thoughts/fears/feelings are interfering with your ability to function normally (and it sounds like they may be), you might consider seeing a professional.

      I'm certain you're not alone in your fears, but someone who has more experience may be better able to help you.
