I see scary faces everytime I close my eyes. Why is that?

[tugazorean]

So whenever I put shampoo and need to close my eyes to not burn, I start seeing faces and imagining that someone is going to kill me, or someone is right there waiting for me.

Even when I want to sleep it is really dificult, I usually go to sleep at morning like 6 am because it's already daylight and it's easier for me.

Why does this happen? I'm 15 years old and don't ever whatch horror movies 'cause I know it would be a lot worse.

How can I stop that? I know it sounds stupid but school is almost starting and I don't want to go to sleep at 6am to wake up at 7 am...

I can feel this way too. Like when I use my hair dryer, sometimes I freak out because I can't hear and I feel like someone is going to kill me or something. And in the shower, I constantly have to pull back the curtains and when I close my eyes I get scared. These only really happen when I watch criminal minds, look up something (like prison/crime related) or read/see something remotely scary, and it lasts sometimes up to a week afterwards.
I just end up sleeping with my light on. I'm also scared of the dark, and that is amplified whenever I do one of the above.
Think happy thoughts, make your mind busy with how your day was, etc. And never watch horror movies. I did one time and for like a month afterward I freaked out.

The last horror movie I watched was in January and I still see that goddamn girl face

[Jadekitten]

My friend told me the bloody mary story when I was six and I'm 15 and it still scares me. I don't even believe in ghosts or anything but it freaks me out lol

[sweetsinner]

yeah , same here ! I was really freaked out when I first found out about bloody mary, I had to have the bathroom door open for like a year and my mom would always have to be near the room. I still get paranoid

[tugazorean]

That's way too extreme xD

[Jadekitten]

Oh my god I would too! After my "friend" told me we went into the bathroom to get something and she was like "wait… WE'RE IN THE BATHROOM AND THERE'S A MIRROR" and I ran out screaming.

[Unkowngirl]

I always get paranoid in the shower too!!! Its the most awful feeling ever. Anyway I usually try to keep myself occupied with other thoughts. Like how my day was and other simple stuff.
Just don't give yourself time to think about those things.

[tugazorean]

But its difficult since I do barely nothing all day!

[Unkowngirl]

Well what calms you down usually?

[tugazorean]

Being with my homies!

[Unkowngirl]

Alright then think about all the funny things that have happened with you and your homies.

[tugazorean]

Than I would start crying 'cause I don't see them for almost 10 months and I can't see them no more xD

[Unkowngirl]

Aww sorry. What happened? :(

[tugazorean]

I moved out!

[Unkowngirl]

You could always stay in touch. Or did you move really far away? I know how you feel though, one day my parents were just like " are moving in a week." It sucks, but you'll be fine.

[Unkowngirl]

*We are moving in a week.*

[tugazorean]

I moved 2000 km away, I guess it's 1500 miles
No, I won't.. It's been almost 10 months and I'm just they I was in the beggining. I'm just waiting till i get 18 and go back there

[Unkowngirl]

You must have some cool friends.

[tugazorean]

We were freackin awesome togheter... Now in 10 months two of us (we are 6) got depressed, two of us don't even get out of home, you know everything is falling appart

[Unkowngirl]

That's really sad, but I'm sure you guys will make it. Just make sure to stay in touch. My best friend moved away too. We don't know when we will see each other again, because she may move again, but we promised to meet up one day.

[tugazorean]

Thats a good promise..

[Unkowngirl]

You should agree to meet up with your friends one day too.

[Armada]

You'll be fine. Just don't look behind you whenever you open your eyes.

[tugazorean]

Ahahah, funny
