Why am I still scared of the dark?

Question

What a freak huh?

Answer 1

Even Iam scared of dark especially if dogs and other animals start barking,no,no howling.But I am not at all scared if Iam inside my house.Only Outside!

Answer 2

No you're not a freak. Everybody has something they're afraid of. Even if you were to conquer your fear of the dark chances are you would develop another irrational fear. Its not a guarantee but very likely. The best way to get over your fear is to desensitize yourself by immersing yourself in it. Sit in a dark room for a few minutes with your eyes open and convince your mind that there is nothing to be afraid of. Carry a flashlight if it makes you feel better. Eventually it will go away.

Answer 3

Aspen, Aspen, Aspen or Mimulus, Mimulus, Mimulus.

"...is the remedy for any fear where the cause of the fear cannot be named. At one end of the spectrum the Aspen fear can be no more than a sense of foreboding, an uneasy anxiety that something unpleasant or frightening is going to happen. At the other it can be a real terror, with physical symptoms such as the hair standing on end. At this extreme Rock Rose could also be helpful.

Sometimes people think of Aspen as a night-time fear, as causeless emotions seem to be uncanny. And of course if you were lying awake in a dark room scared of something but not knowing what it was, then Aspen would be the remedy to take. But in fact Dr Bach said that for fear of the dark itself Mimulus would be the appropriate remedy to take, since the cause of the fear (the dark) can be named. And nameless Aspen fears are just as likely to occur in full sunlight as on a dark night."
