Washing my Hair Makes Me Paranoid

     I have a decent amount of irrational fears. I'd like to say that's the case for most people, but this isn't something that I know many people will admit to. Probably the one I have that pops up the most is that I get scared while washing my hair. It worries the hell out of me when my eyes are closed, I'm vulnerable, and there's no noise except for the hardly audible trickle of water that constantly splashes over me. It's like in a horror film where everything gets quiet and nothing happens for 30 seconds; You just know that something is gonna jump out and someone is going to die. Well, I don't want to die, so all through out the shower I'm opening my eyes just to make sure everything is fine.

    Not going to lie, I strive to have nice hair. So that thought alone normally overshadows the idea that something is going to attack me. Instead of worrying that someone is gonna jump out and stab me with a knife, I'm worried that I'm not pretty enough ( ;-; ). However, sometimes I'll hear a random noise. Usually, it's my cat in the hallway or it's the pipes in the wall (Sort of guessing on the pipes, but I'm pretty sure that's it). Maybe I've just gone mad, I'll never know.

     My problem is that when I hear these noises, I don't come to rational conclusions. I make these bizarre assumptions like the walls are covered with spikes and caving in on me and I have 30 seconds to get out of there or I'll be crushed and no one will be able to know what ever happened to me, because the walls would have absorbed my body afterward. Maybe there's like some kind of ghost spirit thing that watches me while I shower just waiting to strike. Just  floating there...waiting. I don't know what, but I bet it's horrible. I'm also afraid that a spider will randomly fall down on me. I'm not afraid of spiders, I actually think they are awesome, I just don't want to shower with one.

This is me every morning

     Sadly that isn't the only thing I'm paranoid about. I just refuse to say any others.
