Scared of the dark

Im 15, 16 in feb, and I hate the dark
I sleep with my light on and I cant go downstairs at night to get a drink unless someone else is down there with the light on..
Im sick of my sister and mum calling me a baby for it
How can I overcome my fear...

of it?

It's ok to be scared of the dark. But I am sure nothing would happen if you got a drink down stairs. don't mind your sis , she doesn't understand how you feel. But the dark is nothing to be scared of.

awww... I compleatly understand you... and don't worry... I kinda am too... well I hate going to the basement at night! for me I sleep with the door open, and I leave a cup of water on my desk =) why not try sleeping with a push on light on your desk, so if you get up in the middle of the morning, you can just push it on! at my house, we have night lights placed in the hallways and in the kitchen at night, so it's never 100% dark =) try doing that! but over all, remeber, that you know your house inside out, when it's bright, and it's all the same in the dark... there's nothing to be scared of and as timewarp has said, nothing will happen! hope I've helped =)

face your fears, love. I know it's difficult, but we all have fears that at one point in our life we will feel like they are irational and that we want to get rid of them.

I was deathly afraid of heights. Driving over a bridge I would start shaking and crying.. I decided one day I had to get over this fear for my own sake, I can't be driving over a bridge crying. So I went to key biscayne, a very popular sight here in Miami, and I saw some people jumping off the bridge into the water. I thought to myself yup, that's what I have to do... let me tell you, it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and I couldn't stop crying, but finally I tossed myself and I jumped off. I jumped off 5 more times after that. It was the most liberating feeling I have ever expirienced. My advice; just go for it and face your fears ! what's the worst that can happen ?

its ok to b afraid of the dark..everyone has different fears and they shoodnt b callin you a baby for it...the way to get rid of a fear is to face it!

Pray.

I know how it is, I wont go anywhere w/o a light... I am terified... I just turn on the light where I go... just tell your mom of suck your big toe...
