Anyone Else Afraid of Mirrors?

Q: Okay, I’m not afraid of mirrors because “i think i look ugly” It’s because i fear something more supernatural. Its all because of my stupid sister. When i was very young, around 5 or so, it was Halloween, and she thought it would be funny to turn the lights off and lock me in the bathroom, and scream “bloody marry” through the door. Of course there was a large mirror in the room, and i was too short to turn the lights back on, so i was trapped in there for a good few minutes before my mom stopped her. Ever since i have been afraid to look into mirrors, especially at night, or in the dark. The candyman movies also did not help my fears, and now there is a new movie coming out called “mirrors” which my mom jokingly says i can’t see, but it does freak me out, its like my worst fears come true. So is anyone else this creeped out by mirrors? Sounds like something stupid to be afraid of, but i just can never shake it. Stupid sister.

A: Nice man.Have you ever watched Supernatural? it’s a tv show about demon, ghost, cruses and shit. Try and watch an episode that says ” bloody Mary” see how scary that is.I’ve never tried this out not because im scared but because of stories and shit that people used to waste their time for entertainment and scaring each other.Well your not alone for being scared of mirrors. I have feelings that someone is always behind me stairring at my and if i look away from the mirror then back they be their.But hey call me crazy i dont care . Don’t get over this fear thoe, you never know what could happened?

Constant fear of ghosts and night time alone?

Q: I have OCD whcih also does not help this situation. Please do not tell me that ghosts do not excist. I know they do from past experiences. I also know that there is far too much media evidence for it too ever be false. Your eyes do not have a part in dillusions. The truth is they are real and anyway this has been a big problem for a long while now. Whenever i walk i constantly feel that something is chasing me or is going to chase after me whcih tends to make me run up the stairs since this is wear it usually happens. It does not happen when im out but when i am alone in the hous this is something i find that happens alot. When i am alone in the house at night time, i get absolutely shocked because i feel ghosts could appear anytime giving me a heart attack i just could not handle that kind of fear. I have a very weak stomach. If you find my talking a bit silly then replace the word ghosts with spirits or souls as they can also be called this. Anyway i have a strong fear of mirrors and any blank tv screens because for me this would be the worst place to see one. Pictures are frightening for me aswell. This never happens when my family are in the same room as i am just when the area im in is 101 % silent and eery and bland. Do you have any ideas on how to help me. And i beg you not to say ghosts do not excist if you are i would appreciate it if you would just not post a responce.Thank you

A: Hello, i HOPE you are feeling a little bit more relaxed by the time you read this. You are right, ghosts, souls, spirits do exist. However they do not know they are still in this world and therefore they mean no harm to anyone. Personally I have never seen a ghost or spirits but I know that some people do have that sensibility to sense stuff that “normal” people cannot. You and I my friend are victims of Hollywood and the media because they are always seeking for ways to keep us very “entertained” and fearful. I understand that it is almost impossible for you to not feel fear for I have OCD myself, but what we can do is keeping our minds busy. Here is what I do: I try to not be alone most of the time, but when I am alone I turn on the T.V or put on a comedy movie. You can also always turn on some of your preferred music on. Relaxation is key for us. As much as you feel nervous (and I know you do) TRY please try to overcome it in any way possible, you know, call a friend, go out have fun. Also try to understand that we come to this world to enjoy the crap out of life and OCD cannot get in the way….I hope this helps and feel free to contact me if you ever want to contact anyone :D.
