Dude. I have on thing to say to you: Under NO circumstances should you watch paranormal activity. If you get scared easily like that then that movie will give you the ultimate insomnia.
Of if you watch the recently-released Rifftrax version, you will instead laugh your ass off at it...

I would recommend going out for a walk. You need to get away from your computer, and away from all of the things you have associated with this.
In the night?

In the dark?

... in the fog and shadow with spindly trees abound?

I sleep a lot due to medication and such, and have problems with chronic nightmares and so called "night terrors", incidently I love Horror Movies and such and am pretty well jaded, my problems usually don't involve anything "horror" like at least not usually.

I recommend talking to your doctor about a drug called "Gabitril" (I've mentioned it here before in similar posts) it wound up helping me quite a bit. However my problems are quite probably linked to brain damage more than anything (which I won't get into again).

I still have nightmares and such, but not as much. Apparently you can take it once in a while in spurts when you start having problems (which is how I started) or regularly, which is what I wound up doing.

Creepy things don't particularly keep me from sleeping, but I always turn a fan on at a low speed, even in the dead of winter - I find the extreme quiet to be (and I realize this sounds funny when I actually go to type it) too distracting.

Also, OMGSLENDERMANISBEHINDYOU!

Nah, that's pretty normal. Hey, I saw the video to All Nightmare Long (Metallica) at 3am on my own a few months back and couldn't get to sleep properly for a few days.

Just remember who Slenderman has been associated with before

Nergal
and Jack Skellington
It may also help to rationalize as much as possible, as well as to Smash your skull against the wall until you fall unconcious Repeatedly watch,read the things that scared you until they begin to bore you.

Candle Cove creeped the crap out of me, so my natural reaction was to get my friend with it and make him think it was real.

When he was at my house, I casually mentioned this Candle Cove show I used to watch when I was a kid, then googled it, went to the creepypasta (something I'd completely rehearsed), read that as though it was real and closed the tab juuuust before we got to the comments so it looked like a real forum discussion, then went to Youtube and watched the video. He didn't know what the hell was going on. It was hilarious when I told him I'd set him up.

I don't know what Slenderman is (and I avoided reading too much of this thread for possible spoilers), but now I want to / don't want to find out.

There's little to fear of things that go bump in the dark if you happen to be the scariest one in the shadows. Which generally is the case if you're all alone in the dark.

Hmm, that does seem to be a bit of an extreme reaction for 19 years old. Though it is understandable for someone who identifies themself as being easily scared, it's not like there's something wrong with you. I consider myself pretty brave when it comes to creepy stuff; if I read copypasta before I go to sleep (which unfortunately is usually when I find it), I might get creeped out from thinking about it while I'm lying in bed. But that's usually only if I'm lying awake anyway, if I'm tired it just won't be on my mind and I'll go straight to sleep, so I wouldn't say it ever keeps me awake.

That is a pretty scary creepypasta though, but I didn't know there was a video. I won't be looking the video up either; I make a point of not watching creepy videos. Reading I can handle, but videos seem to up the scare factor by a lot.

Hah, that's nothing. I'm fairly certain a UFO or something landed outside my house the other day. Completely defies logic but I know what I saw.
i too know what you've seen.

the inside of your eyelids while you were sleeping.
Nice try, good buddy but I was very much awake. In general, I don't get tired till around 3 if I'm lucky. My eyes were wide open and I heard and saw what afterwards can only be explained as something at least slightly paranormal.

Yes, actually.

It is called In Vivo Desensitization.

You engage in the feared activity to create new experiences. If you walk and nothing happens, you must accommodate the new experience, therein changing the association.

a little creepy pasta about sleep deprivation, have fun.

oh and don't blame me if you get scared again
Wow, the end actually kind of was redundant. This is trully creepy/gory, as no myth or monster is scarier than man's nature, if only because we are afraid of becoming monsters ourselves.
And yeah, Gorr, don't you dare read this 'cause even if you can sleep, you probably won't eat for a few days after this.
