When I got my first house key at 11 years old, I walked home from school with my friends. I put the key in the lock, and opened the door.
I instantly felt uneasy. I tried to distract myself for only a few minutes before it just got too much. I locked myself in the downstairs bathroom for 2 hours until my mother got home.
I felt like someone was in the house, Someone wanted to hurt me and I don't know where it came from.
Thinking back on it, this is probably the first time I had ever been alone in the house - I had 3 brothers; 1 older, 2 younger. And the silence just put me on edge.
At night I had nightmares constantly and woke up fearful throughout the night for as long as I can remember. My bed had to be next to a wall so that when I looked out I could see the entire room and there was no possibility of someone being behind me. I would hear my heartbeat in my ears and thought that I could hear the monsters marching to get me.
It was a very intense fear from a young age that I can't entirely describe, and have no idea why it started.
Has anyone else experienced this?
