Is it normal to be afraid of ghosts and the dark and be unable to sleep alone?
What exactly are you afraid of?Ghosts? - You do realize that even if ghosts existed (which they don’t) they would appear to you at any hour of the day or night and regardless of whether or not there are other people present, right? The presence of daylight or other people in no manner would prevent the spirit of an undead person from appearing, if such entities did indeed exist.The dark? - There is nothing in the dark that won’t be there in the light. If you currently live in a high crime area, then you might want to move as crime can occur at any time, day or night. If you are afraid of pests, then having an exterminator come in can rid you of that problem.If this is an existential fear which is making it impossible for you to function normally, then you are going to have to seek professional assistance. There is no “curing oneself” of this type of emotional reaction and trying to do so will simply waste valuable time and effort that could be better used.Again, there is nothing in the dark that isn’t there when the lights are on and the lights won’t prevent anything bad from happening to you.
How do I stop being paranoid about ghosts and demons?
I have general anxiety and always get anxious about ghosts. I for as long as I can remember have had an irrational fear of ghosts and demons. I live in a house that was brand new when my mom moved in. We are the only people to ever live here. I have never experienced anything related to ghosts and such. But for some reason I have a huge fear of it. When I get cold I relate it to a ghost. When I hear something such as a creak in my house I relate it to ghosts. If I see a movie or video about ghosts or demons I will get anxious about it. Writing this right now I am getting anxious about it. Please help!
Extreme paranoia of ghosts, losing sleep over it? what can i do?
Well... This is very interesting. After all of my time spent on Yahoo Answers, even with my old account, I have never saw a question such as this. Thankfully, I watch many shows such as Ghost Hunters, and A Haunting. My advice may seem a little weird, but if I remember correctly, I think I may recall a couple of things from them. One thing that you should not do is burn a ouija board. If you do that, or if you have did that, you will supposedly annoy the "spirits" that came in contact through it. If you played with it in your house, and you did burn it, then it's possible that they are seeking revenge on you. The second thing that I'd recommend doing is talking to a priest and have him do an exorcism. Or at least try to have him bless you with a special oil or something. It takes some time for the Church to approve or an exorcism. The third thing is to take your mind off of that stuff. Even though I have never even seen a ouija board, I sometimes feel that there is something evil or something that doesn't belong in my bedroom that is on the other side of my bed. My house is not at all haunted and nothing evil was in it. What I do to get rid of the feeling is pray to Saint Michael. I either do that or think of something else. After a while, it goes away. One night is was really bad and I had to turn the TV back on to get rid of the thought. The only reason why I get that feeling is because of Ghost Hunters or shows like that. The final thing that I'd recommend doing is talking to your parents about it and having them sign you up for a Psychiatrist. The Psychiatrist could perscribe you medicine that can help control your thoughts. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it helps. The link below is the prayer to Saint Michael that I told you about above. Trust me, it really helps!
Is there a ghost in my apartment or are we paranoid?
I live in an apartment with my dad and his wife. Lately things started happening. When my brother came and visited us he said he felt like someone was grabbing his feet then trying to drag him. One day he said he felt a presence laying next to him. One day I decided to sleep in the same room. Nothing happened. My brother returned to alaska. At first it was kinda peaceful but then I started to feel someone watching me from outside my door. I went to a friends house to stay the night. He suggested we play the Ouija Board. At first I was against it but then I changed my mind. We made one ourselves. Nothing happened so I discarded it. I came home and felt like someone was fallowing me. My dad said that one night he saw a shadow in the living room moving to the kitchen. He said that no one was there. Im not sure if we are paranoid or there really is something in this place.
My sheeets MOVE when i sleep, PARANOIA or GHOSTS?
so when im sleeping, or just laying in bed my legs start like tingling then i feel my sheets press in on me then levatate. It's scary. I think im paranoid im not some ghst freak okay? so its not like i blame everything on ghosts or anything but... I taped myself sleeping, well i just layed down a few minutes ago and taped myself to see. I saw impresions being made after the covers had settled and when i was frozen still. I felt the tingling in my legs and i haven't slept fully in 2 weeks. If i do sleep on my bed, it's without covers. Do i have restless leg syndrome? Am i just paranoid? Are these ghosts? Like i really dont know what to do, and i'm really tired i just want to SLEEP! I'm a healthy 14 yr old by the way. Im not mental lol.
How do you deal with a paranoid roommate that thinks there is a ghost stalking her?
Maybe she’s just joking, maybe she’s confusing ghosts with living people who are harassing her, or maybe she has schizophrenia(It would be really nice if you could comfort her and try your best to calmly convince her that it’s okay), and if you are in contact with her family or friends can you please try and reach out to them and just let them know what she is going through.
Is it bad to be this paranoid?
I've always known that I've been a little paranoid. I'm always worried that a murderer is gonna jump through my window, but who hasn't had that thought? But lately it's been getting worse. I'm afraid to listen to the music on my iPod because I have this texting app on it with all my friends contacts and I usually text them while I listen to music, well I always gets this big fear in my stomach. Like they can hear the music I'm listening to through my iPod, like they're laughing at the songs I'm listening to, like they know. So I'll listen to music on iTunes on my computer, but I have to make sure that my iPod is out of my room and far from my computer so just in case they won't hear the music. I try not to be paranoid about this, but it's too hard. Here's another thing. So I NEVER watch scary movies because they scare the crap outta me. But randomly at night time when I'm awake and I walk down the hall to go to the bathroom (the lights are off because people are sleeping) I always run as fast as I can to the bathroom because I'm scared **** that a ghost is following me, and I actually believe it! Sometimes I'm scared to leave my room cuz I'm afraid that this ghost I made up in my head is real and he's gonna kill me. Is this natural for most people?
How do I get over my fear of ghosts?
the fear does not come from ghosts - the fear is there, out of fear come the ghosts. You are afraid and you would like to project your fear somewhere or other - because to be afraid without any reason to be afraid makes people more frightened. Just to be afraid will be too much, you will not be able to bear it. You need something to be afraid of. So people create their ghosts.It is fear. Fear is there. And to know fear in its purity is to get beyond it. So don't bother about ghosts. If somebody convinces you there are no ghosts, or somebody convinces you that they are very beautiful people, that won't solve the problem. You will simply shift your fear onto something else. Fear will remain; you will find another cause.It makes no difference. Down the ages man has been changing his philosophy, the causes, but basically human reality remains the same.The problem can only be changed if you understand it directly, immediately. Fear is there. Don't bring any cause as to why the fear is there - of ghosts, of illness, of disease, of old age, of being fat, of falling in love, of being killed, or of being a murderer.Fear is the basic thing. Why is man afraid? Don't go into reasons and causes and explanations - go directly into the fear. So next time when you are alone in the room, just close the eyes and go into your fear. Don't bother about ghosts - just go into the fear. Tremble if trembling comes, but don't find any explanation that you are trembling because of the ghosts. That is just an explanation to explain away the fear.Just go into trembling, tremble for no reason at all. If you feel like screaming, scream for no reason at all - but go into the fear itself; don't bring anything else in between you and the fear. That is a trick of the mind. And if you can go deep down into the fear, you will be surprised: the deeper you go, the more and more fear dissipates, disappears. And when you touch the very core, the very bottom core of it, it has disappeared. You are simply there, utterly silent. There is no ghost there, even you are not there. All is silent, utterly silent, absolutely silent. That silence is joy, that silence is fearlessness."- OSHOSource: https://web.facebook.com/notes/osho-online/question-i-dont-believe-in-ghosts-and-yet-i-am-afraid-of-them-osho-talks/208312655870604
Paranormal Spirits or Paranoid?
Paranormal is them weird creepy thing that you cannot always explain, and or to do with spirits and ghost things of that nature. Paranoid is basically a person that is jumpy, a person that don't think of all the aspects before jumping to conclusions. When things happen in the home, first do the debunking, and what ever you cannot debunk could mean it's paranormal. Orbs are not always spirits, and yes spirits can attach themselves to a person, not that it happens a lot, and no you cannot always tell if it's a bad or good spirit, unless your gifted enough to distinguish the differences, and yet it's not that easy unless you experience the same spirit many times, you can then ascertain what kind of spirit they are. Spirits can travel back and forth from other dimensions when they feel like it, so it don't mean your home is haunted unless the spirit comes and goes a lot, and then it may stop completely, that happen to me for four years, and now the spirit pops in time to time, and she is a good spirit.
