I've been completely afraid of the dark for as long as I can remeber, like completely mortified. I can't be in dark rooms or hallways without freaking out. Like a lamp would start to look like a threatening monster, and it would start to feel like the darkness is closing on me. The odd thing is I'm fine with night time and actually enjoy night walks and I feel fine If I have someone with me. I really want to get over this it's affecting my sleeping.
