I have startle problem

2026-06-25 11:30:34
I am Neha Waghmare 16 years old, a school student. From last 7 months, I am facing startle problem like I can't stand alone anywhere, I get startle, whichever voice I hear, I get startle, anyone speaking to me suddenly, I get startle, even I feel scare to walk also, I always feel scare while walking, continuously feeling like somebody will come from somewhere, with that thinking, I walk with so much scare. And also now it has became too much. In front of people, I weirdly do actions, like I can't freely do any actions, like I am able to movie my body, but in front of people, I feel scare to pick my leg or move hands. And also I am getting startle when tv's screen is changing. When I am alone, it happens little less. Please will I get some advice ?

Neha, what you're describing — getting startled by every sound, constantly feeling scared someone will appear, being unable to move freely in front of people, and feeling safer when alone — are classic signs of an anxiety disorder, likely with a heightened startle response linked to hypervigilance. This is a recognised condition that many young people experience and, importantly, it is very treatable. You are not alone in feeling this way, and it is brave to speak about it.
Next Steps
Please speak with your parents and see a psychiatrist or psychologist as soon as possible. This can improve significantly with counseling and sometimes short-term medication. You deserve to feel safe and comfortable — help is available. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
