Does anyone else here have a fear of the dark as an adult? I was scared of the dark as a kid and for some reason just never grew out of it. It peaked in my high school years but luckily it has improved since then. I am able to drive at night now luckily and can be in a dark room for a few mins, at my house. I am going to therapy soon and plan to resolve this issue once and for all! I do also sleep with a night light and I get panic attacks during a thunderstorm if I think the electricity might go out. I would feel much better knowing I am not the only one who has an irrational phobia!
