Scared to Sleep Alone at night?!


Question: Scared to Sleep Alone at night!?
I'm 14 and I can't go to bed by myself!. AT ALL! I know this is really bad but I don't know how to overcome it!. I am used to sleeping with someone because ever since I was 9 I've always been sleeping with my grandma or I moved a mattress into my parents room and slept there!. Now, my grandma has back pains and she has to sleep alone!. So we moved the mattress that was in my parents room into another room!. So my mom was like you have to sleep by yourself!. I agreed but it was morning!. Then at night I couldn't even think about it, so I moved about 10 blankets into their room and slept their!. I know this is really gay and stuff but its true!. And I need to start!. I've tried to go to bed with the radio on and the lights on, but I'm still scared!.
Someone please help me get over this!
I've been super afraid ever since I watched the movie the exorcism of Emily Rose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It's ok to be scared to sleep alone, there are alot of cultures where is it perfectly normal for children to sleep in the same room as their parents until they marry!.

If you really want to get over it, which you are going to need to, you need to find out the reason why you are scared to sleep alone!. Once you figure that out you can take steps to decrease your fear!. Your best bet would be to see a behavioural psychologist, they will help you come up with a way to decrease your fear!.

Why is it GAY!? What does it have to do with anything, do you have to say it like that!?

You sound like you need to keep doing it until you're comfortable, as you are used to sleeping with others!. I suppose it's fear of the unknown!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
