Nyctophobia.

Yesterday, I pondered on some issues. I asked if it feels the same over there. Luckily for me, it feels the same. It means that I am on the right track and I'm very okay. The only thing that could make me sad yesterday is if other people don't feel the same. I'm glad you did. So, I thought of bringing up this too. This is something I have always had from small. I think I nurtured myself that way. Anyway, let me share it with you.

I know we all have heard the word 'phobia'. As we know, it means the fear of something. Whatever it is that you are scared of is known as phobia. There are different things that people are scared of. Some people are scared of heights, water and so many things that you could never imagine. You know we're different people and it means that it is very possible for us to like different things, dislike different things, or even have a phobia for different things.

As for me, 'Nyctophobia' is one of my greatest fear. What is Nyctophobia? Nyctophobia is known as the fear of darkness. I'm dealing with this presently. I've been dealing with it from small but I never thought of making it stop due to no reason. I didn't just think about that. Also, I have suffered so much from this and I'm still suffering from it. Is this how I would continue to suffer from Nyctophobia?

As a result of Nyctophobia, I can't sleep alone at night. Whenever I say this to people, they laugh at me. I wish they understand how I feel. I live with my sister. Whenever she does not sleep home at night, I wouldn't enjoy my sleep. I will always be awake at midnight with my torch light on. I'll keep perambulating all through the house. This happens to me a lot. But one thing I've realized is, that when I sleep alone, I'll sleep off and wake up the next morning. Nothing bad will happen to me.

I may be the first person that you're hearing this from. I used to think that if I sleep alone, something bad will happen to me. I don't know how that has been able to stick in my head since I was a little child. But I've always slept off in darkness and nothing bad happened. The only time I can have a wonderful night's rest is when I sleep beside someone. If not, I wouldn't sleep.

This is so painful. I wish I had a phobia of something else but not night. For example, if I have a phobia of heights, this may happen once in a while. That's when I visit a very tall building or something. But look at the night. It visits us every day😪. And whenever someone is not by my side, the phobia will be awakened 😪. Please what do I do to stop this? If you have any ideas, I'll follow them. Please🙏.
