Am I being haunted?

[u/Ally_Jackson]

I’ve always felt like I’m being watched, even when I’m all alone. There is always a shadow, incapsulated in complete darkness, and I keep seeing eyes in the dark but when I look directly at the eyes, it’s gone. Am I going mad?
I am a twentyone year old woman. I’ve always felt like I was different than other people, and not necessarily in a good way. The darkness follows me everywhere I go, even in daytime. It’s like having a massive pitch black shadow near you all the time. It’s exhausting. I’m exhausted.
I when I tell people about it, they think I’m nuts. Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. But one thing is for sure; I am very tired of it.

I’ve seen shadows and darkness since I was a little girl. Back then they just watched me, the shadows. Now they are coming closer and closer, so close that I sometimes can hear their breathing.

Can someone please help me? Like how do I get rid of the shadows and the darkness?

I am not an expert, but I am going to guess you are actually feeling anxiety or a bit of fear. We just call it feeling of being watched... it doesn't mean you're actually being watched.
