I’m not usually scared by scary films, although I don’t really watch them anyway.
I was having a girly night with my friends and we watched several movies. They wanted to watch scary movies and I was happy to watch them because im not usually scared. however this was different
im absolutely terrified now. I thought I would only be scared for the next day or so but it hasn’t gone away. I know it’s only movies and not real and I don’t know why it’s frightened me so much but it has. I’m a uni student and or usually easily frightened but I can’t cope with being alone in the house anymore and I can’t sleep without all the lights on in my room and hallway. I tried a nightlight etc but I need the room to be completely bright or I feel choked with fear. I’ve been having horrible nightmares and I’m constantly terrified and I don’t even understand why or what about in particular, the movies just absolutely terrified me.
it was insidious (I know there’s several but it was one that had a ghost that kept keys) and the other was sinister.
does anyone have any advice on how I can feel better? I’ll never make the mistake of watching a scary movie again, I hate this all so much
