Hello. I just wanted to vent a little bit about my experience with such an issue. I'll start by saying im 18 going on 19 years of age and I still belive in "mythical" scary monsters. Obviously mosters aren't real but my mind tortures me every single night with the thought..Or when I'm alone. When I was a kid i consumed my fair share of creepy pastas and EXE horror tales. But ever since then it's stuck. As a kid these HORRIFIED me and unfortunately i can't shake the feeling that theres something coming, watching me, or hiding in my room or around a corner. And it drives me fucking insane. It leads to sleepless hours of my night to the point whers i sleep under the covers most nights because i think theres "a monster" stalking me outside the covers. Imagine how that feels to be stalked while you're trying to get comfortable. Or trying to sleep but opening your eyes to make sure some uncanny creature didn't just spawn in the dark corner of my room. I'm not sure how long this will keep up but i definitely want medical help. I deal with axiety and depression (not diagnosed) so it's unfortunately fueling it. Im just so tired of being terrified in my own room at night.
