I know this sounds ridiculous, especially since I am 13.
I go to sleep with my door open and the tv on.
There are lights on out my door, so when I turn the tv off it isn’t dark…
but I want to start closing my door… but I’m scared, Lol.
Not the darkness itself, just of what might happen… like murderers or something.
I have my dogs with me in my room… but that doesn’t seem to help.
No rude answers please (:
Thanks!!

Well you may think your alone but your not i’m a nineteen year old man and im sill scared of the dark you should tell your self theres nothing to be afraid of if that doesn’t work get your parents to get you a night light.You would be surprised how common that fear is.
Just turn off all the lights, get into bed, and lie on your stomach. You will be terrified but eventually you will see that nothing happens to you even though you are at your most vulnerable. Trust me it works, also stay away from scary movies and the news… trust
I’m 16 and I’m still a bit afraid of the dark for the same reason lol.
I just sorta force myself to get past it. I’m also a heavy sleeper so I’m even more worried xD.
Just try and do it and when you get in bed close your eyes and convince yourself that your safe.
Another way is if you have a light that can be dimmed, use that and dim it a bit more every night/few nights.
Good luck.
Many fears are conquered by doing them. Some fears are because of lack of information or the wrong information. Do you know how you got to think that something like murder or something would happen to you in your room? If it was a scary movie, then you need to not watch that kind of stuff. You can eventually forget it or replace it with good stuff like beautiful pictures and comedy and good music. If the problem is nightmares, then there are things you can do to not remember your dreams or not have as many. You can eat right before going to bed, lay on your stomach not your back. I am sure your dogs will protect you if someone would try to do something to you while they are with you. Then think of how really rare it is for someone to break into a kids room and murder them or something.
Hope this helps
i like to think of it my way, all that it is, is not being able to see because there is no light in the room. Think of it scientifically and you will not be as scared of the dark as you are now.
