I dont quite no how to describe this, im not scared of the dark as such but scared of what is lurking in the dark, i dont mean monsters but people, like burglars and murderers, etc. I find the dark extremely intimidating because i cant control what is happening and i dont know what it could be hiding. I find that what i can do when im at home on my own and it begins to get dark very limited as i become extremely jumpy and try to stay in one room. The slightest noise or creak sends my imagionation into overtime. I find it difficult to walk outside of my house on my own when its dark even if theres someone in the kitchen, i find myself running back in. I find that when i walk into a room to turn the lights on and shut the curtains my heart begins to race and i fear the worse, looking around to see if anyone is there. I find this doesnt help when i am trying to sleep , and although we are looking to move i am finding myself deciding whether the ones we look at will be 'safe' by judging if they are close to roads etc. I feel really uncomfortable at night and find that when i am on my own i begin shivering, fast heart beat and everytime i hear a car door i am going to the windows. Does anyone else feel like this at times?
