Fear of the dark was a consuming struggle that I thought would never end. But one night, with my bathroom light on as usual, and I was depressed by the thought that I would never get over this fear. So I adopted a mantra – “Now or never.” I made myself turn off all of the lights and every time I wanted to freak out and turn them on again I told myself “Now or never.” That was a few months back, and I havn’t slept with the lights on since!
