Fear!!!!!!!?

Question

Every time I go to bed I get so scared that somone will break into my house. It takes me so long to fall asleep because I worry so much. I feel like I hear noises and it freaks me out. Is it normal to feel this way? What can I do to stop feeling this way?

Answer 1

That is too debilitating. You do what you can to protect yourself. Understand what the particular noises are and let it go. Easier said than done. That is why it would be worth seeing a counselor in regard to this. Perhaps you had an incident that is now setting you off so easily.

Answer 2

I read a book by sebastian faulkes called human traces a novel about the start of psychiatry. the original pioneers thought that there was something in the process of humanising and getting enlarged brains that meant some of us were paying heavily for the self awareness- I think the fear of fear has no function, and their explanation the most logical I have heard just an evolutionary blip like dodo's. when you consider that 1 in 4 of us at any one time has a mental health problem - not being able to cope with our own minds -then we would seem rather a mistake

Answer 3

Sounds to me like a spiritual void that is creates a perception of fear. We as human beings all have a spiritual need just as much as we have physical needs. You need to find ways to fill that void. Read my webpage below on spirituality. This will help to alleviate your fears.

Answer 4

is it normal? it could be for some people.
its pretty much nothing you can do to stop this feeling, the only thing to stop this is to stop thinking about it. thats all. i cant think of any other way. turn on the music? read comedy books before you sleep? they cant help you if you still keep thinking that somone will break into my house. just relax.
if you cant do it, just get a roommate.
