Is it normal to be so paranoid?!

Question: Is it normal to be so paranoid!?

I kind of get raally scared everytime I am left alone in my house at night!. My labrador is always with me but still I feel uneasy!. Quite a few times when I hear a creaking or banging noise (and I know its pathetic) I grab a knife from the kitchen and walk through all the rooms with it!.!.!. Is this really abnormal for me to do this its just I get freaked out!? I think I have a real over active imagination as our house has never been broken into and I have no bad experiences at all but I do read scary books sometimes!.
What could I do to make myself more comfortable because I am 15 and its getting ridiculous that I cannot be left on my own!.!.!.
Any suggestions !?

I hear ya!. In high school when I was left home alone, I would freak myself out sooo much I'd be frozen in fear on the couch watching TV!!! I can think of many times I'd stare at the reflection in the fireplace just knowing I'd see someone walk up behind me, I'd feel so stupid! I remember simple things like the annoying neighbor coming over to drop something off at like 8 o'clock at night and it was such an unbelievable relief! Try to invite a friend over when you're alone!. It will get better as you get older, but even now (I'm 24) I find myself creating situations when I'm home alone and freaking myself out all over again! I think we just have over active imaginations and need to accomodate them!. Hey, at least we're really fun to be around! Get a friend over from now on, or if it get's too much, see a counselor- I'm sure they could definitely help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it is normal to feel the way you do being alone in the house at night!.
Invite friends to stay overnight when your parents are absent!. I don
