Maybe it could be psychosis? I really don't know too much about that, but according to what you described (people following you, imagining scary things, etc.), I can only think of psychosis.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to tell a doctor so that they can give you a proper diagnosis.

i'll try to ask about it since i have an appointment this month, but last time i mentioned things of this sort (seeing things, police following me etc) they dismissed it :/

It was readable. I think we should cut them some slack because of the seriousness of the OPs posting.

Do you have a mental health professional that you've been seeing?

I have been in an extremely similar situation. For most of my life, Id be terrified that a demon or some shit would pop up and scare and eat me. I couldnt go to sleep until i passed out at 3am. Every 3 seconds, Id have to open my eyes to make sure there wasnt anything there. If i didnt open my eyes, the fear would grow until i did. Windows at night are out of the question. All windows and ESPECIALLY mirrors had to be covered or removed completely. I would always see shadows morphing and random spots that looked like spiders. When i moved in with my dad, I wasnt allowed to have a night light so I suffered through it. No matter what i did, I never could fall asleep before 3am. melatonin, tea, music. nothing worked. Eventually, the melatonin i was taking started to give me sleep paralysis so i had to stop using it. Which made sleeping even harder. The only time i felt safe enough to sleep was day time but my entire family called me lazy for it.

It did stop though. It stopped after I stopped believing in God and Christianity. If i didnt believe in demons, theres no way they could hurt me. But i might be forced back into the religion soon so all of this might flare up again. Im sorry you have to go through this like i did. I hope you find a solution or anything that would help.
