Zombie Fears

[XmasCarol52]

Now before you start to laugh no I am not crazy I am scared to death of zombies even though I know they aren't real but then again who knows.I will not watch anything do with them.I never was like this before but I hear so much about this,that they say it can be true. What made me so mad when I told my doctor about this he laughed some shrink he even have had the gull to asks me if I saw one,this is a really big fear for me.So please don't laugh..Especially at night I keep thinking there is one in my bedroom closet,I have to sleep in the other room on my couch due to the fact i cannot sleep on a bed it has been like that for years so when I hear a noise and try to sleep it absolutely scares the hell out of me..

Was it your shrink who asked if you had seen one, or your doctor? If it was your shrink, then for him this is a normal question. It is his job to treat what you say to him as the norm. Even if it isn't. He can understand your state of mind by posing that question to you and evaluating the answer you give. If you had of said yes, you had seen one then that tells him that you are also seeing things that are not truly there. Or maybe you would have seen something else and your mind registered that it was a zombie. They ask these questions to understand more about us.

It also seems that your 'night time mind' is running away with you. Whether zombies are real or not, there is something at night that is scaring you. I wish you could have had a pet where you are living. A dog would give you so much peace of mind. Nevermind. It is the way it is so we have to think of a different way to cope. I think so much at night too. I have a gate at the top of my stairs which was put there for my dog who passed away a year ago. She was blind so the gate at the top of the stairs prevented her from falling. Yet, even now she has passed away, I've kept that gate there. It makes me feel safe as I think that if anyone were to break in then in the darkness they would not expect a gate to be there.

What I do to relax my mind is watch a dvd as I fall asleep. It takes my focus and prevents me thinking about depressing thoughts. Also try sprinkling some lavender around your pillow that would make you sleep like a baby very quickly.

It was my shrink who asked me if I saw one.Honey if I saw one I would be out of this apt so fast,I keep thinking someone would be knocking at my back door when I go to open it ,it would be my dad standing there he wanted a hug but he more like groaned when he talked u know like they did in the zombie movies,I want to tell you something remember back in 2012 when they kept saying that the world was going to end they said it was going to be a zombie invasion,I was so darn nervous,my good friend who lives in another city said she would come and get me if there was zombies but i know she c ouldnt because she cannot leave her state either.I suffered all year because of that talk deep down inside I know there isnt no such things as zombies but my mind tells me different I was watching my ball game when i went to go to sleep and i have been up since 1am which means i only got about two hours worth of sleep ,funny I do see letters and sometimes sentences on my walls but mostly at night,actually more on the ceilings i would see them for about ten seconds then they would go away, my shrink told me it was from anxieties.ugh This man ugh is no longer my shrink because he quit this is about the 5th shrink i had since i have been going to them,a woman but i think she is going to be very pushy.I cannot deal with being pushed it makes me more anxious and sick..... thanks for responding i thought for sure people would think I was nuts..
