A member asked:

I now fel very afraid not panicky though when i watch a horror movie i feel like am dreaming while awake can i have anxiety without ever having panic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's quite normal to be afraid watching a horror movie even feeling a bit unreal. As long as that fades soon after the movie, there's no need for concern. If you think your anxiety is excessive, talk to a mental health professional for guidance. Hope this helps.
