For a very long time (I am 18), I have had a more-than -healthy fear of "evil". I can't watch horror movies because the images stay in my mind and freak me out for years afterwards. I hate to be alone because i am (sometimes) filled with intense fear that something "evil" will "get" me. I know this is irrational, but it doesn't change the fact that it still happens.
As an example, there have been times I have avoided going into a room because I am scared something will be in there.
I'm not scared of "real" things, like robbers etc. being in my house, but of the ghosts and ghouls of horror movies.
Yesterday I was at my friend's house and got very freaked out when I was in her bathroom. I kept imagining something coming out of the vent.
i don't actually physically see it, I would not be ****ing even functioning if I saw the things I imagine. But it is very easy to imagine freaky things, and it comes without prompting. And it actually makes me scared. i will move quickly through a room.
My grandmother suffers from psychosis, so I know it's in my family. Is it possible this is early/mild stages of something like this? Or is it just an overactive imagination? Sometimes I feel panic akin to bad SA.
Also, will meds for anxiety eliminate psychosis at all? I'm hoping to get on meds soon, probably end up being given SSRI's.
Anyone know?
