Is it normal that i think there's an owl in my fridge?
For about three years now I have had a phobia of owls. They terrify me, but recently I've started becoming scared to open my fridge in case there's an owl in there, usually it will be at night when I'm alone. I'll be making coffee and I'll go to get the milk from the fridge and I'll suddenly freeze scared that if I open the fridge door an owl will fly out and peck my face off and claw at my chest. I've taken to waiting just before my family have gone to bed and then getting the milk and butter and juice and anything else that I may need out of the fridge. I'm not scared of the "owl fridge" when my family are around because I think I have more of a sense of reality when there near to me. I don't want to tell my family in case they try and get me to do something about it, like visit a therapist or something. I don't like being given help. Should I tell my family about it or is it normal?
