Yep, I identify with a lot of you. I think I'll be afriad of the dark forever.
If I hae to go through dark rooms or hallways, I'll run straight thourgh so I'm in them as short a time as possible. I also can't sleep unless all the doors are closed, the closet is closed, and I'm fully covered by my comforter. I know there *really* isn't anything there to get me, but I cant help it, I still feel like something is out there.
