Hi all, It may sound funny.. But i am too scared to be alone, especially in the dark.. I sleep with the lights on... Any tips to overcome this fear? Regards, Akila

The only suggestion I could make is to go into a room and turn off all the lights. Have someone outside the room that can come to your rescue if the need arises. Keep doing this exercise until you are comfortable with being in the dark. Remember to think, while you are in the dark, that there is nothing there that will harm you. Many people are afraid of the dark, so know that you are not alone in this fear Good luck!
