I don't know what has brought this on, but for the past two or three nights I've been scared of the dark. When the lights in my bedroom are out I am convinced someone is in the room with me. Even with one of my lights on I am still convinced someone is under the bed. I have checked. Only some clothes, hehe.

It feels a bit better when I have my blanket/duvet over my body because then "the chance of being hurt/taken is less.. but not zero". Yet it's uncomfortable due to the heat.

I am sooo tired, but I am too scared to fall asleep, the past two nights I have woken up so many times from night terrors.. I was only awake for 10 hours yesterday, but slept for 12 hours. This is making me exhausted.

And for refrence I'm 23 y/o, I used to be scared of the dark as a kid, but quickly grew out of it and probably for the past 13 years I have LOVED the dark. I'm a proper night owl, so this just feels silly.

Didn't know where to go, but I do have anxiety so here we are. Though I do not know if this qualifies as anxiety or as phobia. Kinda just hoping someone know something that might help or what ever.. it's like 3 am and I'm exhausted at this point
