Still afraid of the dark?

6 Comments

Im 17, and since I can remember I always was terrified of the dark. It hasn't changed. I'm scared of everything, i want to cry at night because I think I see and hear things. I know they aren't really there but I can't help but be afriad. I moved 18 times in my life, and I just can't take it anymore, I always hurt myself because I feel dead and maybe if I do something the pain will make me feel alive again. I have trouble making new friends it's really hard for me. I think everyone talks about me and judge me. I can't even sleep at night anymore, I just can't stop thinking or I'm just too scared to fall asleep. Most nights I cry my selfto sleep. I know Schizophrenia and Depresson run in my family, but I really don't know whats wrong with me. And I really don't want to go to anybody about it. I just stopped doing drugs and alcohal, I don't talk to family anymore, not even friends I had since I was a kid.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong or if this is normal?

    Don't be afraid of the dark, be afraid of what lurks in it.

    There, don't you feel better?

    But srsly, there's nothing wrong with keeping a light on. Parents make their kids sleep in darkness even when they have each other to cling to- pretty messed up, no? When you get your own place (or if you already have one) you get to leave on all the lights you want.

    I'm still afraid of the dark, but my lava lamp serves as a nightlight.
