This is pretty embarrassing to admit and I can't really believes it's happening... I've become afraid of the dark again, I woke up in the middle of the night a few nights ago and just couldn't breathe and started panicking. It was so strange because I wasn't having a nightmare and I wasn't startled awake. But since that I'm getting anxious over sleeping and worrying when it gets dark. It's so frustrating and weird that I just don't know what to do or how to react. Literally the last time I was afraid of the dark was when I was 5 years old.

I can relate. sometimes it seems to come out of nowhere.

Its not weird. We all seem to get hit seeming "weird" stuff from time to time. Just the other night I went to go the bathroom and my bathroom door was mostly closed. I never close my bathroom door so this freaked me out. I thought for sure there would be a dead body in there when i opened it. When there wasnt, I couldnt get over the idea that someone was hiding behind the shower curtain. Why else would the door have been closed.

I'm scared of the dark.. My anxiety seems to be heavy then. Also when the days get shorter I feel like I'm more succeptable to anxiety.

I have experienced the opposite whenever I am not doing well. I used to be scared off the dark and sometimes couldn't even walk from the car to my front door. See if something had recently scared you to trigger that reaction. Darkness we associate with our fear of the unknown. Get better.....
