Is it normal to be afraid of sleeping what is this classed as
I'm afraid of a little girl (who looks much like the grudge or the woman in black) coming to stab me in my sleep I'm so scared that I put off sleeping unless someone else is awake in the house and I have to face a certain way otherwise I'm more likely to get stabbed or if I feel like they are behind me and I'm facing the wrong way I stop myself from breathing so she thinks I'm "already dead" it sounds stupid but what would this be classed as?
P.s this has been going on for a few years now but it's gotten really bad please someone help me
