I need advice...?

Question

I am afraid to live it seems... On a regular basis, my mind gains control, and I imagine the most terrifying things. I never see them, but I convince myself that they are real (because I'm afraid of them) and I often lose sleep because of it. I've never actually seen, felt or even heard any of these things that I imagine..but the fear I feel of them is so real to me that I'm almost convinced that eventually I'll start seeing them. Them being the monsters or ghosts or just random freaky creatures that I make up in my own head...

Am I delusional? Am I completely nuts? I live life like any normal person does, I don't have any other problems but this... and it's going to eventually destroy me over time because it's causing such an impact in my life... Am I just paranoid or something?? Over-imaginative??

What should I do?

+ most of the things I imagine are very real to me, very detailed...

I plan on seeking help, but I'd like to know what you think the problem is?

Answer 1

I saw your other question in Psych. I hope you read my answer, but I'll say it again... You can help yourself and if you feel you cannot, seek help for your problem. It seems to me like you've already taken the first step by asking for help. You need to not let your fears get the best of you and live your life. =)

Answer 2

Seek professional help-this sounds like a very real, very serious problem to me.

Answer 3

if you look for help means you haven't given up life.... yet...
we all have wake dreams of blood and destruction, I often picture myself as a demon sucking the life out of the idiot who is talking really loud on his cellphone for everyone to hear him/her, the key is know wishful thinking from the real deal, if you fear for your sanity go to a therapist worst case scenario you really are freaking out and some pills will make you right best case scenario you just need to control yourself

Answer 4

seek counseling
