If you are struggling with this Margarit then try to find yourself a protective talisman of sorts. There are many places that you can find symbols for protection that you can place in your room or hold while you sleep and I know of someone that was able to overcome their fears by placing their faith in a protective charm! Can't hurt to try!

There are a lot of people like you that are afraid of the dark. It is nothing to be ashamed of and does not mean that there is anything wrong with you. My daughter is terrified of the dark. I put night lights in the kids' bedrooms and in the bathroom because of her fear of the dark. I think there are many different reasons that people are afraid of the dark. Some people have had bad experiences, some people have a lot of stress and pressures going on, and some people are just plain scared. My fiance and I have a television in our bedroom and sleep with it on every night. If it is completely dark somewhere I cannot sleep. I lay awake and wonder what is lurking in the dark. When I do finally fall asleep, I usually have nightmares and wake up all night long. Maybe getting a cross and hanging it above your bed would help. Or, getting a night light, lamp, or something so that it is not completely dark would help.

Hi Margarit, it’s rather weird that when we are alone in the dark especially staying in places which are not so familiar, like in the hotel room, dorm in the college or university, hostel in the work place. The most horrible scene in the movie we had watched earlier would pop-up immediately in our mind while we are alone in the dark. This always makes us to feel scared. So I always endeavor not to watch any horror movie, or read any scary ghost stories as well. Try to have positive thinking and just think of those happy and joyful moments instead of the frightening ones. I also try my best not to use the solitary ways when I’m alone in the dark. We know there are always some bad hats with malicious motive lurking around in the dark. Actually they are more fearful than that what we say ghost anyway. Hopefully this could give you some help when you are alone in the dark. posting and take care.

I do not find any reasons for your fear because the light is there because of the darkens otherwise the light was not necessitated if darkness was not there. Do you understand my point. Think if bad is there only then the good is there if there is nothing bad where is the necessity of good. Comment and have nice day.

Hi Margarit, before I will advise you about your fear please describe to me the nature of your fear in the dark more thoroughly. Each person has a different kind of fear of dark places.
