I feel like I'm staring through a cloud/fog and I'm freaking out. I keep checking behind my back, outside my window (I closed the curtains to make myself feel more secure) and my heart is racing.

Every noise is freaking me out. My cat managed to scare the life out of me whilst he was sitting outside my window. This hasn't happened in a while, the last time it happened was when I first heard about an internet horror meme, Slenderman (stupid to believe it, I know, but I thought I was being stalked by it).

All those spam emails I got as a kid that said things like "If you don't forward this, this ghost will be out to get you etc..." I would strongly believe (most kids did though) but I'd still get freaked out, even after I forwarded the email. Even the jokey ones on Tumblr, I freak out and scroll by and act like I never saw it and then get super paranoid because I think I'm going to die when I go to sleep.
Try to avoid triggering events...ie don't read or watch scary things....when I was sick I ended up watching Disney/Pixar because I knew it would not put bad thoughts into my head. I stopped reading the news for a while etc. If noises are scaring you turn on a fan or the radio or something else to block them...
