Is it normal to be terrified of my dark upstairs??
Ok, so whenever I have to go to bed, I always walk up the stairs, ( quietly! ) and then turn on the hall lights. I open my door and without looking at what monster lies beneath my covers, I turn on the light in my room. I jump out of my lit up room and turn off the hall lights. I slowly peek through the crack of my door, and then I look to see if there is anything there. I have never seen anything, but you NEVER know! Then I run real fast through the open door and click on my lamp! Then I creep slowly back to my entire room light, and BAM! I turn it off. The room is only lit up now by a lamp, which gives off light like a candle. ( it's not very bright ) I then sleep with the lamp on, and if the power is out, I can still sleep up there. Is it normal to do this?? I'm not OCD, I am just scared! I mean of course I can stop, but I think it is also a part of the fun! But anyway, IIN?
