As mentioned before this is a really great idea that is kinda hard to pull off effectively. Some editing in post would have helped this shot quite a bit I think.
That aside getting away from the wall might have helped as there are some harsh shadows. Also, since your are using a long exposure anyways, I would have used a smaller aperture to get more sharpness.
A different angle would also help set the mood a bit and perhaps get better lighting of your face (especially on the left hand capture).
I'd be interested in seeing another attempt at this shot addressing some of the issues presented here and in other comments.
This could work out better with a different background... even a dark black towel behind you would make this image just POP!
But your worst nightmare... does that mean that you never struggle with yourself??
