Hello and welcome to Psych Central. I no longer watch scary movies or TV that much due to PTSD and the way it triggers the PTSD. I feel that you should go see a professional therapist that can help teach you to deal with your panic and anxiety regarding the things that scare and trigger you at this time and in the past. Watching TV at night to sleep has also been shown to increase panic and anxiety due to disrupting the REM (DEEP SLEEP?/DREAM) State of the mind. This is why I choose not to watch TV the last 2 hours at night to give my mind time to adjust before bed, and it is amazing in doing this has improved sleep and the panic and anxiety that I have at this time. I hope you see someone soon that can help you get things back into perspective so you can move forward in your life without the fear and phobias you are having at this time. take care and good day.
