Does anyone know what to do about paralyzing fear due to paranoia and mild hallucinations? I can't go near mirrors and windows have to be covered up or else I will freak out. I'm stressed constantly because of it, and it gets much worse once I start hearing small noises here and there, as if someone is moving around when they shouldn't be, or I'll see flashes of light when I shouldn't. They both trigger something in me that tells me my life is in danger, and that my only hope is hiding. I don't know what's wrong with me, and no psychologist will help me, but I need to figure out a way to cope. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm sorta everywhere right now

Sounds like the beginning of my psychosis. Make sure to see a psychiatrist and try to talk to people when possible. I know it’s hard but seek professional help and give it time. I really recommend some type of medication because that helped me a lot. At first it’s going to feel like you are sedated but you adapt to it and the hallucinations and paranoia become fewer and more manageable. Also meditation helps a lot if you’re willing to do at least like 10 minutes a day and for me it is very enjoyable

I feel the same way :( it comes and goes. Some days are good but others I can’t be anywhere dark and alone especially when there are strange noises. Windows are the worst! Happened to me at work the other day. I always feel like something bad is about to happen. My docs are not helpful either.
