Answer 1

just keep on all the lights. I have the feeling too where your walking through the dark and feel like someone is coming after you. just leave the lights on

Answer 2

all of the above... plus do you have freinds you can chat to on the phone whilst you are there?

Answer 3

Watch something on TV like a comedy to get your mind off of your fears (:  

Answer 4

Try to think if your fears are rational. Where do they come from.

To be scared of the dark is not un natural.  To think that someone is after you is another thing all together.

Try to keep a mobile phone with you at all times and let some friends know what you are doing and that you may phone at wierd times whilst doing this favour. True friends will be OK with this and help you through it. If you have no true friends, let me know, and i will be your contact for the time in question and help you through it.,
