Im 19 years old. My whole entire life I have slept with someone either in the same bed or within 2-5 feet away. I recently moved in with my bf and his parents. and i sleep in the bonus room which is secluded from where the rest of the family sleeps. I usually stay up pretty late, so i go to the bathroom before going to sleep and i have to turn off all the lights. and then scared like rush back to where i sleep. I hate it, i am away from everyone, if a robber came in here, i would have no way of escape. I am afraid of the dark, i think i hear noises, im afraid of someone in the dark planning to shoot me, kill me, rape me, murder me, eat me. Im afraid of aliens. Im afraid of the dogs barking next door like theyre being mauled. Im afraid because no one is here with me to protect me, or if there really is a burglar there, to be assaulted with me. I am alone over here and terrified.

Hey,
I am turning 21, and I have the same problem. I have always been afraid of the dark. If I am at someone’s house and have to turn the lights out from going to the bathroom or something I run and freak out on the way to the bed. If my husband is sleeping with me, it is fine. He is deployed right now, and It is sooo hard to go to sleep. Even with my puppy, I don’t know why I am afraid. I am afraid of something coming and eating me, or someone in the house who could kill me or do harm. If i don’t have cable, I usually sleep with every light on in the house and have to stay up so late to where I literally passout. It is tough, and I hate it.
