I MENT SMILIER

hun totally understand!! I was abused as a child then was raped twice as an adult. Now married and still scared of the dark so you are not stupid!!! I have panick attacks in the dark.

Go and ask your GP for some councelling to help deal with the problems and it will help. Wont solve everything but it helps.

I am lot better about dark than i was. Here some things that would help. Buy some curtains that are not to thick so bedroom stays fairly light still.

What has really helped me is to have a touch light, ones that touch and it has 3 or 4 levels and gets brighter each touch. Can start on full then over time get less and less. Now I can sleep most nights without it and it having bad day just need it on the 1st touch so its a really dim light.

Play a radio quietly in the background so got something to distract your attention from the dark.

Take care hun and good luck.
