hi Scaredandalone I sympathize with you and I know what it's alike and to be afraid of nothing . I know your fears are real but some people are more suseptable to anxiety which can be triggered by things like scary movies. I myself have a very wild imagination and to this day I will not swim in the ocean because of the movie "jaws" it's my fear, people laugh when I tell them but I just learned to laugh with them. I lived in the mediteranian for a year right by the ocean and not once did I go into the water......so I guess what I'm saying is just tell yourself that it's a fear in your head and that's all that it is, I know easier said then done but I do that and I still won't go in the ocean but I also lve in middle Canada now and there is no ocean for thousands of miles. All because of sharks....anyhow anxiety and fear is real it's the thoughts that are not and do alot of self therapy like self talk. Seeing a Therapist might help they can rationalize your fears and hopefully you feel better. I also will not watch scary movies because I know I have an imagination of my own so I don't need to watch those kind of movies....it's a trigger for my anxiety and fears....god bless and take care...they have a saying and it is " If you don't mind it doesn't matter" can't remember who said it but it's true
