i used to be the same way

why!? my morbid fear of aliens D:

i was afraid one night if id close my eyes the next time id open them 10 8 foot tall large headed black eyed aliens would be standing above me staring down at me with their piercing, heartless, condescending eyes!.!.!.

but yeah anyways the best way to get over your fear is to just try!.!.!. sleeping

just Relax and don't think about stuff like that!.

workout before you sleep and you'll conk right out!.

drink a warm glass of milk or something!. that'll make u sleepy

eventually ull get used to this routine and your subconscious mind will realize "hey, i don't think there are going to be any aliens standing above my bed attempting to abduct me into their ship where they will proceed to perform artificial semination with my sperm! yay!"

something like that!.

good luck =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds to me like you have a "slight" paranoia, dont worry, its normal and isnt a serious problem unless it hinders your well-being day to day!. Trust me I would know, i have full on paranoia and it affects me on a daily basis!. As bad as that sounds, I've learned to cope with my irrational and delusioned thoughts by always trying to "absorb only what is useful"!. In this case, i would be filtering out the crazy, unrealistic thoughts and taking in what seemed legitimate and reasonable!. It takes time to beat anxiety, especially when every next step you take in life starts off with a negative or horrific thought!. ive locked my doors, kept switchblades in my pillowcase, bats by my lamp you name it!. but as stupid or weird as that sounds, it helped me (not with all my anxiety, but with the specific paranoia of someone being in the house and not feeling safe)!. so if you must, weld yourself ready with a weapon of choice that makes you feel safe and powerful!. I guarantee you wont ever end up using it like you planned to, but the plan in itself is what settles those nerves! good luck and have no fear! :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

don't worrier its normal i was talking to my psychiatrist about this because i also have this problem and he said if your in your teens it is perfectly normal to be a little bit paranoid about some one being in your house especially if your alone,and as you mature this will go away im 17 and the way i deal with it when i am alone i keep a baseball bat next to me turn all the lights in my house on turn the tv to the news and and try and get some sleep!.don't worry your not alone and hope you feel better try to get medication for sleep because if you don't sleep long enough you will have a crappy dayWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm the same way!.!.!.

I actually sleep with three night lights, and I make sure I leave the downstairs hallway light on, and sometimes the upstairs one too!.

I have basically learned to cope, but what also helps is having my cat sleep in my room with me, this way my mind automatically assumes it's him who's making the noise!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah I know what you mean!. If you can't ignore it, just open a window [i live by a fairly noisy street], turn your music on low, or just turn something on to drone out the other noises!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used to have the same problem!.one thing that will help is to be covered up with your blanket because it gives the mind the thought u are safe!.another way is to get a fan or a noise maker to drown out the other noises Www@Answer-Health@Com

Man is just your imagination There are no such things as house noises!. Just go and buy a night lamp and leave it on all night or go and download some nice music and let it play all night but on a low volume!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Make sure your lights and tv are off so if someone is in there they won't be able to find their way around!. Blinding bright flashlights are available for self defense and will mount right on your handgun!.
Good luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

mabye call a good friend and turn on your t!.v!.
that's what i'd do:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Watch TV to sleep!. Make sure to set the TV on sleep mode timer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe you should sleep with a tv or radio on so you cant hear the "house noises"

goodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com
