Maybe try some meditation when you get this fear take over your mind. Meditation helps stop your racing mind. It may be helpful. I would also discuss it with your therapist.
They have probably heard this concern all the time. I told my therapist I was always anxious about dying and the after life, and how concerned I was to talk to him about it. He said many clients have the same thoughts, but because no one shares them we don't know. A suggestion I would make is to avoid watching ghost movies as they seem to be triggering you anxiety. If you struggle to do this, only watch movies with good ghosts in it like Harry Potter. He avenges himself by killing the man who shot him and another accomplice.
Ever since that watching that I have been paranoid about ghosts existing throughout the year. At times I have done some googling on ghosts and tried watching some videos to know more about them and conquer my fear of them but I guess all that did was made me more paranoid. I've even looked at youtube videos at ghosts spotted on videos and in pictures and oh my god they scare the living daylights out of me.
Ive done some research on haunted places in Sydney and some of these areas are very familiar to me even some high schools in Sydney are haunted. I mean I can just imagine that sort of situation and how scared I would be. At night when the lights are off and everyone is asleep I am usually to afraid to come out because I feel there is a ghost in my house and watching me. I mean even as users above of had claimed that ghosts exist, they may not be scary but after loads of research on google and watching youtube videos, it just seems too scary.
I had friends recounting experiences with ghosts in the past and I do not believe they did anything wrong to him. I do believe ghosts are real based on research and whether or not they are good or bad they just scare me. I can just imagine a normal resident on a surburban street walking and I might think that is a ghost when in reality it is a normal person on a street.
Sometimes I even think places where murders occur such as the lin family house in north epping will be haunted for sure. To be honest, you might be taking things a bit too far, and I think you're almost obsessing over it and have built up a really big fear.
In my opinion anything, thoughts or otherwise, that negatively effects your day to day living, really needs to be looked at. It's not great to walk around feeling like this, I imagine it is having a big impact on your quality of life. If I were you, I would go and have a chat with my GP about this.
It's not going to hurt and honestly they are trained to hear and deal with so many things. You're not likely to say anything they haven't heard before.. They are professionals in the business of helping people! The GP may be able to make some suggestions for you. It could be meditation, it could be seeing a psychologist to work through the fears etc I'm not sure, but sometimes even medication help if it's anxiety based.
I do believe in ghosts but I don't get too caught up in it. I don't research them or YouTube videos etc and I generally don't buy into photos which are often photoshopped. Same with stories, sometimes they are just that.. Stories and spooky tales with the intent to I still fear. My experience has been feeling a presence after people gave passed mostly family members and friends.
If I turn quickly I might see a shadow at the corner of my eye, or feel that they are just around. I had to do a speech once and was panicking, I'm sure my grandmother was there giving me confidence. I've also had a book I'm sure on left on the table that belonged to a family relative appear on my bedside.
Sometimes I dream of people that have passed. That they are laughing at a big feast etc I wake up with a smile knowing they are OK. These are all things which have occurred through my life and way before I was diagnosed with bipolar late last year so I can't say it's mental health or medication induced.
It doesn't scare me, I feel reassured of their presence, although eerie that they are here, I just hope they are OK and if they are trying to tell me something or a message, I hope I'm understanding it.
Anyway that's my two cents worth. I'd definitely try to steer away from getting overwhelmed by all this sensory stuff of ghosts and such which isn't helping you right now. And I'd go talk to the GP. If you mind could you please tell me a bit about your experiences with ghosts and how you have coped with that? Also if I accidentally come across a link to a ghost video or something similar when I'm on youtube watching I am not a fan of horror movies, mainly because I believe this sort of thing would make me more scared of ghosts.
I don't know whether ghosts are real or not, but you are clearly struggling with your fear of ghosts and I do wonder if you are building this fear up for yourself.
A phobia of spiders is also quite common. If your friend was afraid of spiders to the point of having panic attacks, yet he also kept watching videos of spiders or going to spider exhibits and having panic attacks, what would you say?
Older teens tend to express fear about changes in their bodies, isolation, sex, and world events. It would be wrong, for instance, to put children who are afraid of snakes into a room full of snakes without preparing them for the experience. If you know in advance about a situation that will most likely upset your child, plan ahead. If you're moving, introduce your child to the new home beforehand, if you can.
If you're taking a vacation without your children, make sure the babysitter comes to the house a lot before the vacation. Diversions are another tactic for offsetting fearful events. If your child is going to your healthcare provider's office for a shot, try doing something fun or interesting on the way home.
Or bring some favorite books to the office to read. What's important is to find solutions that are appropriate to children. Be sure you've tuned into your child's emotions, not your own. Then find ways that work to cope with those fears from the child's point of view. For example, if your child is afraid of the dark, you might:. Both genetic and environmental factors can contribute to the development of phobias such as phasmophobia.
Research has found that people who have a close family member with a phobia or another type of anxiety disorder are more likely to develop a phobia, pointing to a genetic influence. Stressful experiences and social influences can also play a part. A person who has had a frightening experience involving ghosts or haunted houses , for example, might be more likely to develop this type of phobia.
Scary movies and other cultural or religious influences related to the supernatural can also play a part. Other factors that can contribute to phasmophobia include magical thinking, supernatural beliefs, and parapsychology. Magical thinking involves the belief that your thoughts, wishes, or ideas can influence what happens in the physical world.
A broad definition of magical thinking could include virtually any beliefs that focus on irrational correlations between events. Some studies have shown links between magical thinking and psychosis, schizotypal personality disorder, and other serious mental health conditions. Since the existence of the paranormal has not been scientifically proven, some experts feel that a belief in its existence may constitute magical thinking. Under this theory, phasmophobia could be seen as an extreme form of such thinking, possibly indicative of a more serious condition than a simple phobia.
The corollary to magical thinking is the existence of religious beliefs. By definition, most religious teachings must be taken on faith. From Jesus to Buddha to the mystical shaman, virtually every major religion hinges on belief in the existence of one or more spiritual leaders who are or were granted the power to do things that are impossible under the laws of physics. In addition, many major religions accept the existence of the supernatural, whether in the form of spirits, demons, angels, or other entities.
Many religions teach that most of these beings are evil, capable of tempting or harming humans. Likewise, angels and other beings are frequently seen as benevolent and helpful. It would be simplistic and unfair to assume that someone has disordered thinking based solely on a belief in or fear of the supernatural.
Parapsychology is a branch of science that attempts to document and study occurrences of paranormal activity. Its status as a legitimate science has long been debated within the scientific community. Some of the results that have been obtained cannot be fully explained through current scientific principles. However, many argue that this is due to a failure to use the established scientific method. A client who has a fear of ghosts based on parapsychological research will not normally be suspected of magical thinking.
Parapsychology is not to be confused with transpersonal psychology, which centers on the spiritual aspects of human life. Since the existence of the supernatural cannot be proven, phasmophobia can be somewhat difficult to treat under conventional methods.
Mental health professionals may try a variety of treatments. Medications may sometimes be prescribed to help people cope with some of the symptoms associated with phasmophobia, including anxiety and depression. Anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants may help people manage some of these responses. In many cases, medications tend to be most effective when combined with other treatments. Damn you, Rick Baker! Then again, Kerr has seen little kids walk into haunted houses and lose their shit — in a good way.
