Im scared of the dark at 16 years old. How can i stop it?!
Question: Im scared of the dark at 16 years old. How can i stop it.?
for as long as i can remember i have been scared fo the dark. I dont know why. I always have to have the hallway light on with my door open as a nightlight isnt enough.
If someone turns the light off i screem or cry and run to a light. I cannot walk into a room that is dark.
If i'm at home, and i wake in the middle of the night, i often go into my parents room, if i'm at my boyfriends, i go downstairs for comfort and sleep there with him if i wake up.
Please help. Ive tried shutting my door bit by bit over a few weeks, but i couldnt get it shut.Health Question & Answer

Hi and I have always confronted my demons. I used to be scared of lightening, then I flew in an airplane when it was thundering with lightening and I got over it. If I were you, I would take a walk in the dark and see that there is nothing bad out there. Do something to overcome this fear or you will always be afraid. I wish that I could give you more advice but , like I said, I took a flight when it was lightening and am no longer afraid. I wish you well in your endeavor and I hope that you overcome this silly fear soon. Peace out and I hope I was of some help!Health Question & Answer
