This might be long, thanks for reading if you do.
Ok I get scared really easily. It doesn't even have to be a big deal, most of the time it isn't.
Here's a few examples..
*There was a spider by my bed the other day, and that night I could NOT go near my bed because I was afraid it was still there, or that there was more. And everytime I got in it I felt them crawling on me. So I had to sleep on the couch.
*I was home alone during the day while my parents were working and someone called and hung up. I really started getting scared that someone was watching me or something.
*Everytime I watch a scary movie, I dwell on it. Like I think about what would I do if that happens to me, or how could someone do that etc. I know it's simple to say just don't watch them but it's the way I feel that's upsetting, not the movie.
Everytime I get scared I have to tell myself to breathe or I'll literally hyperventilate.
I'm so afraid of people. I know not everyone is bad but these days, it's hard to tell who is and isn't.
I'm just so afraid to live life. No one really even knows about this. I don't know what to do anymore. I just wanna live my life like a normal teenager. It's pretty sad when you have to check under your bed at night when you're 17 years old!
That being said, does anyone have any advice on how I can help myself overcome this problem? Or any advice at all..
Thanks (link)

What to do?
If there is a spider or any type of bug bring bug repellent and keep it in arms reach of your sleep or where ever you are in your house.
If your home alone and get scared because they hung up look at caller id and call them back. Close all blinds and lock the doors it'll make you feel protected.
I dwell on scary movies/shows to, first off if you dream about it use a dreamcatcher it catches bad dreams, try to avoid the scary movies for a while until your sure you can stand it.
Yes, that is normal but hun, you gotta take your chances. If you feel shy around strangers stick to someone close or think of something funny in your head thats what I do.
If you want to live your life, live it. Take chances you may have a phobia but hey, who knows? Life runs by choice not chance.
