the only 2 people that i have told about this both said i was just panicking and that i dont have anxiety or anthing but i just dont feel like im quite right...
i get sudden rushes of immense fear. on a scale of 1 to 10 its definitely 10. i feel like something is watching me all the time, like downstairs we have a christmas tree up and theres an angel on top of it, and it feels like her eyes move to follow me. its so weird. also, wherever i am, im constantly looking around and checking my surrounding because i get so freaked out that somethings going to be hiding in my wardrobe or that somethings going to be hiding under my bed and its going to jump out at me. im sorry for how young and immature this all sounds but im seriously freaking out and idk why. i also see faces in things, like it could be the creases in a shirt or in a puddle, i can always see a face, and sometimes iheard random noises like a moan or a quiet bang or stuff like that, but thats very rare. and also, rarely and i mean rarely, i get this feeling like somethings touching my arm or leg, not like a proper grab, just ike a very slight poke, but really i think thats just my body, as i get a lot of pains aches and twitches so thats probably just some medical stuff. either way, i still get extremely freaked to the point where for the past couple of years i havent been able to sleep properly as im always opening my eyes to check nothings there... silly i know, but now i only fall asleep when my body cannot take it anymore, so im usually awake until 2/3 am or further, which is causing quite a detriment to my grades... i really need some help on what it could be, or how i can deal with it. thanks :)

Maybe, but it's better that you get diagnosed professionally if this is feasible for you than by someone online who can't evaluate you in person. It's not exactly typical to be fearful/paranoid all the time, but this could be caused by something else. Are you under a lot of stress because of school/family etc?

I think it'd be best that you see perhaps your GP and explain everything to them and see what they think. Best of luck :)

I agree with emilym80. Absolutely you really should go talk to a doctor that can properly diagnose what's going on. Also not to scare you but things like these strong fears of yours can tend to get worse the longer you go with out getting proper help for them. I strongly encourage you to seek a professional opinion. Casstar :)
