<human>: Ermmm, im 20 years of age and im not so much terrified of the dark, but whats in it,, i dont really know how to explain but a couple of days ago i was alone at my flat, as usual i was very afraid, i locked myself in the bathroom to take a shower, once id finished i was too afraid unlock the door and go out, i was scared something or someone might be there, i stayed in the bathroom for about an hour and a half before my boyfriend got back and found me crying, i get scared of being alone, scared of the dark, scared of someone/ something all the time ... When i say someone something, i mean so many things from my imagination i suppose ,please reply, thankyou
<bot>: thanks for using Chat Doctor first there is nothing to worry about it. Sometimes it happens. For single episode of fear of dark there is nothing to do anything. If u have continued fear of dark since then, and it is causing socio-occupational dysfunction in that case u need psychological intervention. U can do some relaxation exercise own your own, or you can consult a psychologist for further help. Thanks
