This sounds dum but i'm really scared right now, I'm all alone in my house and I suddenly got scared (like the feeling you get when your a kid that there is a monster under the bed) I don't have anyone I can call, I dont want to worry my friends or my parents and my boyfriend is in new york. Please someone help me, I'm so so scared, I cant stop crying :(

I think that is totally normal. It is all a part of all of those goofy movies that we watch. I always hear things too when it is only me and my kids at home and my husband it away. Realize that the moment will pass...take care

I hate that feeling. Try taking a few calming breaths. If you really can't calm down, then try finding a place in your house where you feel safe: On your bed, or in the kitchen, or wherever works for you. I normally curl up under my blankets on my bed, with all the lights on if it's night time, and just wait for the feeling to pass.

I get scared at night when I'm alone not because of the monsters but because of the loneliness. I find turning on all the lights and leaving TV on helps. If it's not to late it mgiht be a good idea to call your friends or family. If you don't want to worry then don't tell them that you are not feeling good but just talk about other things...like how they are doing or what they are doing. I'm sorry you are not feeling well

Omg, this happens to me alllllll the time. Im homealone everyday for 3 hours. Just cry and cry and sob if you need to. Scream and sob and sob. ( im sure your not alone anymore, its later now, but then again amaybe you are!)

Just if you still are scared.. or for next time breath, cry, sob, cry sob, scream, rip a pillow, ( or pull on it) ( If you can lol. I do that cauz I never rip it!)
And just keep crying. It will pass.
Just breath, watch tv with all the lights on and you willl be ok.

I can get like that, the only thing that tends to help me is going around they house and making sure everything is nice and locked up and then curling up with a book on the couch so that if anything does spook me i will be able to pinpoint what it is without the distraction of the tv...its normally my cats...nuts isnt it .....good luck xxx
