Is it normal to feel like i'm being watched, or may be harmed?
I think this has been going on for a while (years perhaps). But the feeling of being watched is considered normal, so I ignored it. The past 3 months, however, it has gotten worse. I'm scared in my own house. I feel like it's standing across from my bed but I can't see it. I think it lives in my belongings? I don't know. It's very weird and freaks me out.
I have to cover my whole body, including the side of my face, at night when I sleep. I'm afraid they/it may talk or touch me. This may not be related, but sometimes I have visual hallucinations. Such as dogs walking near me, faces, or a gray hand. They usually disappear when I look straight at them. They're not in my peripheral, but a foot or less away from my main point of vision. This happens both at home and away from it. But when I'm alone it's worse.
Sometimes I think I'm overreacting but other times I have meltdowns to the point I don't sleep and sit in my room with my lights on, shaking and crying.
