So, I binged some true crime shows, and now I’m super on edge and can’t sleep. This sounds so silly coming from me an adult person but I’m afraid to turn off lights, I keep looking over my shoulder, and when I do try to get settled and tell myself “you’re ok” it’s like I imagine light/shadow, faint movement, I’m more sensitive to sound, my brain plays tricks on me. 

I know this either makes me sound crazy or like a big baby but I swear I just get so anxious to the point that I can’t talk myself out of the irrational thoughts and worries sometimes, and it just keeps manifesting. How do I help myself with this? I mean I need to sleep, I have work tomorrow, but man I just can’t stop worrying. Does anyone else experience this kind of paranoia?
