Answer 4

I feel it sometimes.  

Try this excercise.  Put something on your dresser in your room...something you can easily pick up.

Go into a room that has the light on.  Now step into your room.

When you step in, resist the urge to turn the light on.  Leave it dark.  Let your eyes adjust to the lack of light.  Slowly start to recognize your room and what's around you.  Go to the dresser and get the object you left to pick up.  Slowly leave the room.  Practice going into dark rooms when you know you are safe in the rest of the house.  

Try this another time and try closing the door in the dark room, then adjusting your eyes and retreiving the object.  

Eventually, expand this practice to other rooms in the house.  The more you do it, the more your mind will realize that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Answer 6

Think of the dark as a blanket that wraps around you and nobody can see you. This is fact. When you're in the dark, now one can see you. It is your protection.

Answer 7

The darkness is scary to everyone. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But like all fears, the best way to get control over it is to just confront it head on. Next time when you have to go into a dark room, don't turn back, just go right in. You'll realize that there is a chance some guy is gonna come out and rip your head open, but most likely, it won't happen.  

Answer 8

God will always be with you, what ever religionn you are. Believe he is always with you and will protect you. Where ever you are, believe and pray. praying can help anything. pray for your fear to go away. Think positive. believe it, it works! I was afriad of ghost in my closet but I got over it when I told god to please let my brain in peace so I wouldn't think of scary things, and it worked. put your trust in God!
