You should try summoning demons like I did until you realize they aren't real

Or maybe you're possessed and don't know it

It's not typical but it also doesn't have to be a huge problem. Just keep a flashlight nearby when it's dark.

I wouldn't say it's weird. it's probably a sign you're anxious about something though.

in any case, I'm 40 and I still sleep with a small light on, if for no other reason than I seem to have a lot more nightmares if it's pitch dark in the room.

Well if you want to get over it so bad immerse yourself in it, I had a serious phobia of insects and one summer I had to deal with a fuckton of mosquito hawks and just had ridiculous battles with myself trying to kill them, repeating in my head "do it, just do it, fucking kill it," etc but by the end of the summer I was so used to killing them so I could get some sleep in my room that it simply did not bother me anymore. It's the only therapy that works I'm sorry.

Both your advice are story are terrifying. I have tried the no light but at times its a little unbearable and I cave. I'm not panicking rather really uncomfortable

Man up you little shit

You're afraid of the absence of photons?

Most of the universe is in darkness.
Every single night your whole country goes dark for many hours.


The dark doesn't change what's there or what's going on.

Pay attention to what he's saying, if the fear is irrational then you know in the end it won't bite you. That's why it works, it worked with me because I knew it to be a scientific fact that mosquito hawks are harmless and the belief system in my brain just was not coordinated to reality. You have to train yourself that the flight response, that blood rushing in your ears, is just not the correct response for the reality you live in. The only way to train yourself is going through those experiences.
