Re: Fear of being alone in the dark?
When I'm alone in the house, the darker and later it gets the more my anxiety worsens. I don't know why really - nothing has ever happened to lead me to worry, and I know logically it's no different to me being alone at home in the day.
I think a lot of things seem worse in the dark - light is comforting. Can you leave a few lights on, and the tv or radio? I'm terrible for jumping at every tiny noise when it's dark - I never watch horror movies cos I know it'll make me worse, but still jump when something creaks!
The only real advice I have is about leaving lights on and background noise. Also, it might reassure you to have your phone near you?
