I have the worst fear of the dark EVER. If it's dark I hyperventalate, scream, and nearly kick someone's arse until I get the light on. I can get really bad in the dark, I panic a LOT worse than a kid panics in the dark. I keep the closet light on every night, hardly sleep, and don't feel safe AT ALL from when the sun sets to when it rises. I used to not be this bad, when I was REALLY little I wasn't as afraid of the dark. But now, because of my fear, I have to sleep a certain way every night, if I sleep alone I face the wall. If I'm with a friend they're on the outside of the bed and I'm nearest to the wall. If the bed is in the middle of the room, I don't feel safe unless I'm sandwiched in between two people. I cover my whole body with a blanket, sometimes even my head. I hate wearing pajamas that show too much skin, normally I wear pajama pants or really long shorts. I HATE wearing nightgowns (I'm female, by the way) if I wear them, I feel like I might start to panic.
I have no idea why I'm this afraid but I am. What do you guys think? Does this have a name?
