Im not sure how many people this will reach but I'm hoping to find some help. I believe I have hyperfantasia, meaning I can picture things in my mind with extreme detail, to the point when I am looking around, I can put whatever I see in my mind into my physical vision, just a little transparent. I can also recall and even make up smells, texture, sounds, and visuals very clearly. As an artist this can be super helpful when I can picture things like this, makes it easier to create physically, but it can also make some daily tasks much harder for me. I've always found horror to be very interesting and cool, but I get scared pretty easily, and visual scares or scary things will stick with me for hours or days and keep popping up in my head in extreme detail. My brain will also make up horrifying things on its own once I'm scared, again in extreme detail, and this only inflates the problem. This just goes on and on until I am very scared to go down my hallway, walk past or look at mirrors, walk past windows with or without the curtains drawn, turn corners, and even just walking past something like my bed that has space underneath. It's worse when it starts to get dark outside, obviously, the dark is always scary, but this anxious state I'm in makes it hard for me to do things I need to do in the evening, take a shower with the curtain closed, brush my teeth, changing into pajamas, heck even just standing in ways where I can't see the whole room. It's just become rather annoying honestly, especially when even after my head is no longer making scary things up, I'll stay in the anxious state for a while, looking around all the time, checking behind me, it's just tiring. I'm only in my late teens and I'd hate for this to get worse as I get older, who knows maybe it'll get better. But if anyone has any advice on how to stay calm and remind myself that it's only in my head and keep myself from getting so anxious, it would be greatly appreciated.
