What the hell is wrong with me?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
I was practically two years old when I went through exactly what you’re dealing with right now.
You aren't actually hallucinating, but you're panicking so intensely that everything starts to feel unreal. It's that hyper-vigilance where you're listening for every tiny creak or noise, convinced you heard something that isn't there.
If I had to put a label on it, I'd call it a phobia or severe anxiety. Honestly, go see a psychiatrist and get a professional opinion; they might be able to prescribe something to help settle your nerves and finally let you get some sleep.
I wanted to ask you one more thing,
are you even capable of watching horror movies?
