I think everyone is a little afraid of being alone at night.  I always sleep on the couch when I'm alone.  Then, I leave extra lights on and the TV on.  That helps me feel less alone.  Could you not go stay with someone else?

Difficulty holding a job for more than a few weeks, and that only because sometimes you can fool people for a few weeks.  Difficulty holding a husband, live-in boyfriend, family member or roommate, because I have the hoarding form of OCD, which makes me very difficult to live with.  My collected clutter makes people claustrophobic and uncomfortable.  Difficulty making decisions, even unimportant ones such as where to have dinner.  Tends to irritate people.  Landlords hate me--I try never to let them in while I am in residence, or I would be evicted on the spot--because after I leave, they usually have to tear out the carpets and start over.  Impossible to vacuum when there are piles of clutter everywhere all the time.  I have been divorced 4 times.  I seem to only get worse with my symptoms as I get older.  The same thing happened to my father:  My mother divorced him, he ended up living alone in a trailer park, where he filled his trailer up to the ceiling with clutter and trash, even the bedroom, even the bathtub(!). and had only a narrow path to go through the house.  He could never let the landlord in to see how he lived, so he was afraid to ask them to fix anything.  If the toilet broke, he fixed it himself or just lived with it.  If the heat went off or the fridge quit, same deal.  DIY or just deal with it.  He had no hot water for years.  Sorry to get so wound up, but it truly does affect sufferers' lives in a negative way.  I live in fear that I will become as bad as my father was.\n http://www.squalorsurvivors.com

afraid? i dont think so. it is just that adults know that the kids are just not grown up to undestand the complexity of the whole thing.

Use a night light.  Turn it on everynight before you go to bed.  I'm sure after awhile you'll forget about turning it on and won't even realize it.  Also, lots of times if you open up your curtains or blinds a little bit light from outside comes in.

Yes!I Have!! When I was living in an Apartment Building, At 1280 Humboldt Avenue, In Denver Colorado! When My Husband worked Nights, I went to bed one Night, and was woken-Up by a noise. I then saw a tall Man, Dressed in a Black Outfit, with a Black Cape on,and a Large Black Brimmed Hat on. I asked Him What He wanted, But He Didn't answer! He went from the Bedroom Door,(It was Closed) around to My Bed. I just Covered Myself up, and went to sleep. Nothing really Happened. It was really Freaky, and scary!!

I have, it scared the s*** out of me!  I woke up from a nap and could hear my husband and kids downstairs and couldn't move my body.  My brain was fully alert and I tried to holler to my husband because I was scared to death and I couldn't even do that.  I eventually convinced myself that I was still sleeping and having a bad dream...I must have drifted off because when I woke up again I was fine.  That is bizzare enough in itself.

yes. dark always make us paranoid, it's something psychological. you have to make efforts to get over this phobia, and try to spend more time in some dark spaces, little by little, just to try to get used to dark. i succeeded in getting over my lightning phobia. good luck ;)

Yes I have.  The weirdest thing that happened was after my husband left to go to work one morning around 5am, I heard the bedroom door open and someone walk across the floor.  I thought my husband had forgotten something and came back.  I felt someone sit on the side of the bed and I looked out from the covers expecting to see my husband, but no one was there.  I was scared.  I asked him when he came home from work if he came back in the bedroom and he said no.  When I told him what happened, he said the same thing had happened to him before.\nI have since moved and no longer feel anything in my bedroom, but I would swear something watches me as I sit in the living room in the evening.  It is always the same.  I will be in there alone watching tv or reading and I get a feeling someone is standing over by my grandfather clock watching me.  The freaky part about that is even my cat notices it.  He will either stare in that direction or leave the room, not getting anywhere near the clock.

I am 26 years old and still afraid of the dark. I sleep well either drunk or completly exhausted.  If I am not either of those, I sleep with a light on and music playing.  The reason for me doing this is because I was molested as a child.  I later heard that many surviors also do this.  Maybe you were hurt as a child and that is something that you felt that you could control by being able to see your surroundings?  Good Luck!

I used to have the same thing about having the tv on low, Now i can only sleep if im holding (but not reading ) a book and the light's on. The wardrobe doors have to be closed because i have a problem with clothes-hangers! Also i cant have any clocks in the room , i can never find out the time else thats it ,no more sleep(so i dont know how much sleep ive lost ), I need the shutters down on the windows so i cant see the sun come up (again so i dont know the time )Bedroom door closed. And finally a pint glass of coke on the night stand. Apart from that not much really

We need more information. What are you scared of exactly? Are you afraid to leave the house or afraid to speak your mind...i'm not fond of clowns myself. With only this little bit of info i would say maybe find an outside party like a counselor.

I would have to say no. I used to have nightmares alot when I was little and now I have to sleep with some sort of light on, TV, nightlight, lamp, something or they will reoccur.

No, but my downstairs neighbor is an as*hole, so that sort of counts, doesn't it?  I mean, that's pretty scary - a 5'10" as*hole - and it's under my bed.
