I Really Do

I hate the dark , I am not scared of it , I just hate it . It is so depressing especially in winter when it gets dark early .It feels like its closing in on you , suffocating you .Just a very wierd feeling .In summer it doesnt seem to feel so bad , maybe because it gets dark later and its warmer at night .In winter its just really depressing .

just remember it is the shortest day in 8 days time, then after that it will start getting lighter at 2 minutes more light in th emorning and two more minutes in the evening every day,

I understand what you mean. I've added sources of light within my home specifically because of this. I have a Selenite crystal lamp and an Himalayan Salt lamp now that I just love. I try to shift my perspective to... I'm going to enjoy this light more [b]because[/b] it is dark out. It just makes me happier that way.

@StarLily I turn all the lights on but the problem is my wife then goes turning them all off and I keep telling her but she seems to like living in a cave .

@Rhodesianman I'm sorry she does that.😕

I'm different: I love the dark, and especially those long, dark, silent winter nights, when I sit beside an open fire in my house, reading books and listening to opera recordings.

@helenS I have tried music as its meant to help but it doesnt its a very claustraphobic feeling .

I'm not a fan of the dark, mostly because of my own thoughts. After everyone goes to bed, and I'm just sitting there, my thoughts step up to keep me company.

@Matte Its not my thoughts its just a feeling , like the walls closing in on me or a really heavy weight pressing down on me its horrible and I struggle to sleep.
