paranoia
Ok, first off I want to say I know I'm very paranoid. I want to end this and never do what i do again. Here are the things I do..
1. I am always looking out the windows in my house, peeking out the blinds, to see if anyone is outside staring up at my window trying to watch me. Or if I'm on the first floor I'll look to see if anyone is sneaking on my porch to watch me through the windows.
2. I check my house for hidden cameras. Sometimes I'll get this feeling like there is a camera in my house and I'll check whatever areas necessary.
3. If I'm in a room with the door closed, i'll open it and peek around and listen for who is possibly in the other rooms
4. I have to have the doors closed and draws all closed. If the door is left open, the crack of darkness creeps me out, making me think that someone is watching me through it.
5. I get nervous and anxious and ready to find someone, but I never do.
I just want to stop all of this. Sometimes I will check out the window like 10x a minute. I know it doesn't make sense, I know no one is watching me, but I cant help but feel this way.

Hey, you're still young in some way. Me for example, used to think the same way up till 2 years ago when i was 15, i always believed that there is someone somewhere, and i used to be afraid of the dark and of sleeping alone and i got all these feelings and thoughts and i was always scared, and i used to think that if i'd go to the room at the end of my house, there would be someone there, sometimes i even saw shadows, and i always used to check the bathroom,especially the tub i don't know why. But i definitely outgrew it and in a very short time, I still sometimes get some thoughts, but I deal with it maturely. And sometimes it helps if you pray (if you believe in god,and i'm saying this with all do respect) it would make you relaxed and less scared, and maybe you shouldn't watch any horror movies at all or anything that scares you. I think it's normal, completely normal. But to be on the safe side, i think that you should consult a doctor about your situation, and maybe there is something that he can do about it, i don't know what, but maybe talk to someone, a therapist or something, not that i'm saying you're crazy or anything, ofcourse not, but if this situation would grow more serious in the future, then maybe you should be on the safe side and deal with it from now.
If you need anything else, please be free to contact me. Best of luck!

You may have anxiety or OCD... or both.
We can't make a diagnosis on here, but there's good news! I suffer from both, and they can often be treated with just counselling. A licensed therapist can help you to find out why you do this (a childhood incident? Phobias?) and help you to overcome your compulsions.
