Feeling a bit paranoid

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes I feel like I can be quite paranoid and anxious. I'm posting this because for the last hour I have heard a helicopter flying over my house enough to make the house shake and it is freaking me out. It's half 3 in the morning and I keep imagining someone might be like outside.

I just feel a bit silly for being so paranoid and was wondering if anyone else has freak outs like this? I hope this is the right place to post.

I should add that I'm in a student house so while in the past I've woken up parents I am currently alone

I know how you feel. Helicopters tend to evoke feelings of dread, especially if they are nearby.

It most definitely has nothing to do with you. If you were in NYC, I would assume that the people in the helicopters are chasing a criminal suspect.

Military flies helicopters low over my house some every month or two sometimes. I don't live anywhere near a base. They'd have to come from Washington or California. Makes me worried every time.
