I hope you have a nice Easter.
I'm looking for advice. When I sit at my desk and work or do something on my laptop etc. I suddenly panic that someone is standing behind me. I then turn around (just out of reflex) and check if someone is standing there. Then I turn to the other side and back to the other side, sometimes I look under the desk. I know of course that nobody can be there because I have two dogs and nobody can sneak past them. But somehow my brain doesn't know that. Then, after turning around a lot, I stand in front of my door and wait a short time. Then after a few minutes everything is fine again. Sometimes I get the same after 15 minutes or sometimes 40 minutes. Then it goes on until I go somewhere else and do something else. I also sleep with a night light and blanket over my head. I'm just too scared at night (when I fall asleep). This "desk situation" happens even when it is bright. So it doesn't matter what time. I really don't know why I have that, it really worries me. I don't tell anyone because I feel embarrassed that I'm so scared. Do you have an idea what helps?
Can you put your desk down differently? Maybe a change will help
Yes, but these moments don't just happen at the desk. For example, when I'm sitting at the kitchen table…
Then you should find out the cause with professional help so that you can change it
