Answer 2

How old are you?  It is normal to be scared about alot of things st some ages-maybe something happened to you at an earlier age to make you more scared.  I was very scared when I was young because of scary shows even though I liked to watch them.  If you are young you will get over it. Sometimes we feel like we don't have enough in our life to make us feel safe. You  will be safe though. Don't worry.

OMG! this is always happening to me and i am wondering the same thing! What can you do to stop it? My imagination does that and also I am constantly thinking that sum1 is in my house or that there is going to be an earthquake or sumthing.

Thinking about happy thoughts  or talking to a counciller is what im trying at the moment.

Answer 4

So you have a phobia of...phobias? (Sorry that doesn't make sense lol.)

Just try to calm down and think clearly, do something that relaxes you and clears your head.

Just because it happened in the paper, doesn't mean it will happen to you. Don't think about it.

And a movie is a movie! Think of it this way. Scary movies is just a plot where they hire actors to act, and it isn't real at all.

Do something once a day that scares you. You will become stronger.
