Lucky, I have always lived with an overwhelming feeling of dread everytime the sun went down. Even as a child. What a frightening and dark world it has always been. And I thought it was normal, until, one day I realised it was just me. It brought me into a crisis from age 9 to 16. I am in my mid thirties now. These bad, suffocating feelings did not get most other people. Please tell your doctor and listen for his advice, life can feel better.
