Is it normal that i'm scared of the dark at the age of 14?

I cant walk into a room without light. Ever. There has to be SOME kind of light somewhere. If not, I start imagining things that couldn't possiblly be there. Shadows more, things touch my feet, noises are made, radio f**ks up. Its weird. My boyfriend always tells me its just my imagination. We're always on the phone all night long and he's heard me freak-out over stuff. It becomes harder to breathe, I see flashes of who-knows-what all over the place. It scares him and it scares me too. Am I losing my mind?

    I'm not scared of the dark but when I'm walking in pitch blackness I always cup my package out of fear of walking into something penis first :)

    Until I was about 15 , I had to have a lamp or at least a tv on whilst I slept. I'm now almost 18 and I'm still pretty much scared of the dark :/

    Same. I'm 14 (using Safe-mode, of course) and I'm not such a huge fan of the dark, either. I wouldn't say I'm terrified, I'm just more comfortable with the lights on.

    Your not loosing your mind, everyone has a fear of something and yours sounds more severe than most, a doctor may help or night lights in all rooms is a good idea also.
    As for being 18 to use this site, who cares how old they are, they need answers too

    I thought this site was only for people over 18.

      Maybe this person is using the site on "safe mode" lol. Then it's like 14+... rather than 18+ ;)
