Anyway, I also have a lot of worries about being watched/there being people in my house. I always used to explain it as being scared of the dark, but it's not that: it gets worse when it's nighttime (even when lights are on), but it's there during the day too. As soon as it gets late, it feels like I have to constantly be on watch to make sure nothing's in my room, even if I logically know nothing is. It doesn't help that this tends to stop me sleeping until I'm completely exhausted, and when I get too tired my eyes start to mess up and I always think I see movement until I look and there's nothing there. I have to sleep curled up under the blankets and stay completely silent so nothing gets me (childish, I know), and I always fall asleep thinking at the back of my mind that someone will kill me, which isn't exactly helpful for a good night's sleep.
It also lists depression as a minor concern for me, which I would have considered more likely than me being bipolar to be honest.
Anyway, if anyone read this long and probably boring post about my problems (this is not even half of them!) then thank you for your time
Do you reckon that it would be worth me getting a diagnosis/going to a therapist? The problem is that I have so many little concerns, and I'm not sure if I can be diagnosed with anything, but they're still problematic enough to cause me difficulties. I wish I could see how other people think and feel, so I'd know if what I was feeling was out of the ordinary, or if it was normal...
