Do i have a problem?

I'm wondering if I have a problem. I love Horror films, Absolutely Love them! I also like watching Markiplier play indie horror games. But When I go to sleep at night I get extremely scared. I've told myself it was not real but I keep imagining characters off of the videos I watch. Sometimes It's the nighttime visitor and at other times its the monsters off of other games. I've had many problems with the night time visitor in particular. He's horrific. I get so scared that I've scratched myself trying to get to bed. At nights it's a challenge to get to the bathroom. Is this Normal?!?!

    It sounds as if you're addicted to the adrenaline generated by fear when you watch horror films and play horror games.

    You KNOW it's not normal. If you can't wean yourself off these movies and get an adrenaline rush some other way (eg watching or even better playing sport), you need professional help.

    You've trained you brain to respond to and record horror to the extent that your sleep is disrupted and that is VERY unhealthy.

    I love horror movies as well because of the adrenaline rush it gives me but it can be a problem if it is affecting your sleep.

    1. Don't watch these movies right before bed. Watch them in the morning when it is sunny. I promise that it will scare you less at night.
    2. Turn on lights/nightlight or carry a flashlight to secure your mind that nothing is there
    3. If this is serious, seek counseling. They can help you get over these thoughts and fears.

    This is not normal, you need professional help, you may like the adrenaline in the horror games, but your brain is not liking it. I would prefer you stop watching scary stuff. And tried doing stuff to take your mind off of horror games. (Props to you for watching Markiplier by the way;)
