When I was a little kid I was afraid of literally everything. I was afraid of going upstairs in broad daylight alone, I thought normal swimming pools would spawn sharks out of nowhere, I was afraid of being in the woods, etc.

Don't even get me started on the things that would normally scare a child. Nighttime was a 10x beyond a living hell for me. And if I watched a horror movie in the morning the rest the day was terrifying because I knew eventually I would run out of daylight.

Now I've pretty much gotten over my long list of fears, although sometimes I have to turn on the TV night when I think about aliens. (BTW aliens were my primary fear of what I though could be in the dark.)

Anyways I think something could be perpetuating or feeding off me. Ever since I went through my sleep paralysis incident (which I thought I handled pretty well) a thought was planted in my head.

I thought that maybe all the fear I felt as a kid has embodied itself into a form and is now watching me.

I don't know. Now that I put it into word it sounds kind of crazy.
