I'm Afraid To Fall Asleep

By jfag22 July 22, 2020 18 answers Last updated July 22, 2020

I am a 27-year-old woman. About a month ago I came across a video on YouTube about real cases of paranormal activity caught on camera. I watched the video in question, but because I was emotionally involved, I didn't stop there. All the videos on YouTube in question are mainly in this direction. Anyway. The thing is, I haven't found peace since it got dark. My sister even slept with me for a few days.

 

Since then, I fall asleep to a movie every night. Along with this, it jumps at every noise that the apartment makes. I have a single plush toy and I look at it all the time, lest it has accidentally shifted. I'm afraid to open my eyes in the dark so I don't see any eyes looking at me. I am afraid that something will not follow and observe me. I want to be free. I am now writing this story at 2:55 in the morning because I am afraid to fall asleep.

Ghosts don't have to be bad. They may be good and love you, for example, be your grandmother or great-grandmother or guardian angel. It can be a soul from another life that loves you and will help you. If things weren't presented on YouTube the way they were presented, they wouldn't be so lucrative for their authors. And yes, something else, I fly super often before watching the series Crash Disaster I really adored, now just shake the plane or make a turn and immediately start thinking some nonsense.

He sleeps right away watching these things. Apparently they affect your nerves badly! Then if you need to buy sleeping pills, not some strong chemistry, but some herbal ones and start taking them. You definitely need to sleep normally! If you need even "mint hawthorn and valerian" drink and watch in the evening to do nice and relaxing things, like listening to nice music, for example. And most importantly, NEVER watch such things again !!! As well as of course all kinds of horror movies and the like. They don't affect you well.

Hello All these videos are fake. The main idea is to make money. Search the Youtube channel with the name: Captain Disillusion. The man explains these "real" videos.

Start watching entertainment videos, not eye-catching ones, if you feel (the headlines are a double-edged sword) that something is missing, you scroll or -, if you have to turn off the computer, and do something

Believe me, this is nonsense ... there are no evil spirits and such nonsense .... I'm not just telling you that .... and I watched such things at one time and I was scared ... then I started watching debunk videos in which 99 percent .... not 100 percent of the time everything is fiction and staged. So sleep peacefully !!!

Hello, author! If you're so scared of covering the bear, apparently these videos have taken your mind-and I'm the same-tonight if I watch scary videos or movies, and at night I go to one place, I see unsightly things, I go with a screwdriver that if I see something, "pierce" it with a screwdriver! Some time ago someone had posted such a topic again - they advised the author to avoid any scary movies and videos at all costs!

You believed a lot. There may be such a case, but there is no evidence that these "eyes" can harm you. Fantasy and how we burden our brains is a nasty trick in which we get involved. How do you think your life goes on? Don't sleep at night? To be on duty with a broom or a knife in hand on all the lit lamps? Or should your sister be transferred to you? There will be no "supreme power" to appear and remove them from your head and thoughts. Limit this curiosity and stop watching such movies and videos. It's just in your head. If I come up with a story, will you believe me? Gradually, fatigue and time will erase your mania. Grandpa Tosho

I am your age and it seems childish to you to be afraid of such nonsense. The very fact that you sleep with toys shows that you are immature. You are at an age when you have to have children and you have to protect them from the dark. You can always hear noises. People want to make money from the internet and what stories they can tell and do in Photoshop. Everyone has had a moment when they are afraid of the dark and believe me, people are much scarier than ghosts. It's scary to wake up to the noise of thieves in your house, and I've been through it, then you're really scared to death. It happened to me that my wardrobe was dissolving and I guess there was a reason, the next day it was written that there was an earthquake. It was also scary when I woke up on the night of May 21, 2012, when there was an earthquake in Sofia. These are terrible things, the other may be the good spirit of your loved one who wants to see you.

As a student, I had no other worries and watched such videos. I was afraid ... Then I finished my bachelor's degree and started working. What did I find - I found that PEOPLE are scarier! If you know with what fear and reluctance I go to work now ... eh

I would advise you to abstract from these videos, don't think about them, suggest to yourself that you haven't watched them at all, and you won't watch them. I don't think you can sleep at night because you go back to these videos and you influence yourself, you start to immerse yourself and all sorts of scenarios go through your head and it's completely normal. Just stop! Tell yourself from today on I will not allow such fabrications to interfere with my sleep! See if it will help! But it's all up to you! The key is in you! As someone above advised you, watch entertainment movies, videos, pranks, humorous videos, download comedies! Success!

Most spirits are guardian angels, so do not be afraid, but be thankful that he is with you! :)

Women ... I also had nightmares. Locked up in a house with a killer (who stabbed me); strangled by a black figure speaking in familiar voices upside down (sleep paralysis); pulled and paralyzed by an invisible presence in the kitchen. The most recent thing was to sit in my room and look in the dark darkness in the mirror (which is not there), how my skin becomes literally tar black, my hair and eyebrows disappear, and my eyes turn white. At one point in a dream I told myself to stop staring in the mirror so as not to attract the attention of the demon behind me (I played a lot of MK11 with Noob Saibot that night). However, the only cases when I have breaded during sleep are when I dream that I am in transport and do not have a ticket in front of the controller. Dear mother, my heart was not so strong ... Look with humor at this nonsense. It wouldn't bother me that an afterlife sodomite stains himself in the closet and watches me sleep. However, if my router touches or my power goes out while I swear at the Russians in DoTA, wow son. First holy water and the Bible, than exorcism. If I die, bad for him. I will reach to his elbow from behind in the afterlife.

It happens when you are interested in the paranormal to attract him. Evil spirits are a fact, as are the Angels, but the former cause fear, insomnia, and many other negative things. As others have told you, stop watching such things immediately. Go and talk to an Orthodox priest, let him pray for you, if you are not baptized, get baptized, take holy water from the temple, drink a little every day and spray your home, and best ask a priest to make a holy water. Start praying to God for protection, say Jesus' prayer and "God is risen" (you can find them on the internet). And if you are baptized, but you have never confessed and partook of communion - do it, now come Peter's fasts, the time is right. Fear not, many people are like you, it happens when a person is not informed to make a mistake. We should not turn to evil, even if only to show interest, not to mention various rituals, spells, to keep various amulets at home, etc. In this regard, do not turn to fortune tellers, do not pour a bullet, it will only get much worse. Don't procrastinate, turn to God for help. Here's a little information, you can look for a poltergeist part or read it in its entirety

I also watch such videos, but I slept quite normally. Some of them are interesting to me, others show for miles that they are fake. Maybe it's all about the psyche, and I also like scary movies, so they don't affect me. But you're obviously more impressionable than I am. Just don't watch them, play something fun before bed, there are a lot of videos with cute animals. I find it interesting to watch interviews with favorite artists, how a film is made, blunders from its shooting. There are also a lot of sketches. Even if it's animation, it's fun. If such things affect you, do not look at them. It is debatable whether there are such things, I believe there are, but not everyone is probably hostile and behaves like in the movies. And in life, the living hurt more than the dead, so do not worry anymore.

Don't worry, I had the same problem. I am 12 years old. If you can't sleep, just put on your headphones and play soothing sounds and you will fall asleep for about 10-15 minutes. It helps me personally. Sounds like rain or something. They really help. Success! :)
