Well I'm a teen and i have the biggest fear of the darkness. I hav to have the Tv on for some light and a little noice. I also keep my stairway light on and feel better when I have one of my cats sleeping by my feet. I also have a problem going to a friends house and they have to have it pich black when they sleep so I end up staying up to scared to go to bed but that only when my friends want to sleep. So tell me is it normal to be a teen and afrade of the dark so much?

    If you had a bad experienced something
    traumatic in the dark, it's understandable. Nitetime was when my father was abusing my mother. If I'm in a totally dark room, I feel like I'm suffocating.

    Im 19 and am terrified of the dark. I had a traumatic experience when I was about 4, which then caused sort of a mild phobia of the dark. I think its pretty normal as long as it doesnt run your life. For example, yes I am terrified of the dark but I can live with it. Im not gonna have a panic attack or something if all the lights or off, I might start hypervintilating but whatever. I would suggest talking to someone about it, maybe that would help. But yes, its pretty normal!!
