Hi.

This is a bit of a sensitive subject for me. Im 24 and suffer with anxiety and OCD and lately i have been getting scared of the dark. The dark has never bothered me beofore but now it really upsets me. I am scared even in my own bedroom and i have had to leave the landing light on.

has anyone else experienced this?

I'm 54 and leave the landing light on when I am home alone. I get nightmares quite a lot so need a light on. x

I leave a light on in my lounge in case I have to go downstairs in the night, so don't worry about it, you are perfectly normal.
