Afraid of the dark

Ok, this doesnt really have to do with anything on this section. But i am so afriad of the dark, i mean i kno some people say that they are but i am so afraid of it, i cant even be in my own room and feel safe at night or even during the day because i feel like people are watching me, and i just scared like all the time. Like last night i was outdie with my mom taking the dog out and we live right behind anchor hocking which is a lgass factory, and all the time it sounds like people being murdered back there, i couldnt stand it and i ran back inside, and i cant get over this fear and its taking over my life, like all the time i am afraid of the next to come, becaue i dont want something bad to happen, and i am always thinking about wat if my one of my friends or family members died, and in my mind i always see myself getting cut on the nearest sharp edge. but i dont cut anymore, and that only started happeneing after a few years ago i was playing hide and seek outside and i fell of a cut metal bar that was protruding from the ground and it went therough my leg, and i had to get stiches, alot of them, and since then all my fears have been increased to an all time high, so of my friends think that i might be scitzofrinik(sp) and have more than one type of OCD, fear , phobia or parania, does anybody kno anything that can help,and dont suggest doctors and things, i have already been to alot of them, and they say they cant help me

Ok pm me k
say its about being afraid of the dark

~i'de rather talk then leave a big long comment thing ~b/c i'm that way~

Yea, i cant stand when people write in a post just to say that they agree with someone else. BUt i do agree with you Bob, it seems for once you've said something i can take into account.

Driving home about midnight last night I almost started hyperventaliting because I though there was someone in the car with me, human or otherwise. One of those darkness creatures. Trust me...you aren't alone. I am TERRIFIED of the dark.

Most people dont fear the darkness its whats in it.

I love the darkness it's the sun that i hate. the darkness hides so many secrets, thats just screaming to come out. the night sky is the best, all the stars and the full moon, it's so hard to believe people can be afriad of something so wonderful. dark nights so dark that you can't even see in front of you and the wind caressing your body that is when i can feel alive.

Women have more of a reason to be afraid of potentially dangerous, uncontrolled situations than men. You can disagree, but you're wrong.

It makes sense to be afraid of the dark when you're outside, alone. So carry a wooden cane with you at night and swing it around to ward off intruders. That's what I do. Not to mention the knife I slip into my pants when I walk my dog in the dark. Being afraid of the dark in your own room is a little ridiculous though, unless you're home alone...because then I can relate. Heh.

You spent the night in a graveyard, bob? that is awesome lol. and I definetly agree with the person who said "Most people dont fear the darkness its whats in it."

Ummm..yeah i sleep with the t.v. on everynite, nyctophobia is sucky.....to the person who started this thing...how many stiches did you get when you fell on that super sharp pokey thing?

Facing your fears can be the best thing, As alot of poeple say...Try to stay away from scary movies!I know those can freak poeple out so bad. Don't think about bad things that can happen. Make the most out of life instead of worrying. Go in the dark and say aloud, I am not scared of the dark over and over. That's what i did. And those sounds you hear...imagination....bad things can happen, accept it. But you need to conquor those fears before they trap you. (You could get a nightlight) And the factory, its a factory there will be noise. Not people getting murdered but people making stuff...good stuff you buy or whatever. And ditch the scary movies. And scary books!!! (If you watch any)
