I recently became obsessed with watching MrBallen's videos on Youtube. For those who don't know, they're videos of stories about scary things like murders, kidnappings, sleep paralysis, etc.

I usually sleep next to my boyfriend but the past week I've slept alone a couple nights and both times I struggled to fall asleep with the lights off.

I have an on &amp; off relationship with being scared of the dark. Sometimes I don't care, but other times I'm scared there's a monster standing somewhere in the darkness.

There was this 1 video about sleep paralysis that really scared me and now I'm afraid I'm gonna have sleep paralysis and see a scary women in my room and be terrified.

As soon as I turn the lights off I'm so scared there's a woman standing at the end of my bed or behind me. I just can't shake the feeling so I've had to sleep with the lights on 2 nights this week and am about to do it again tonight.

I feel ridiculous but I'm literally so scared.
