    • Demons are nothing but a manifestation of the self appearing in your reality. Push more positivity and push away the darkness in your brain and bring the light into your brain and light it like a light bulb.

  • FOr me its not as bad as some of the people you metioned have it, but its bad enoth. I can't walk my staris up normaly for example. I alway feel like Im being watched, my flight instinkt kicks in, I feel like Im being chased, and I enter my room, run to my bed and cover myself as much as I can. Only then I calm down. And everytime Im turning of the lights to go to sleep, I feel like Im being watched from the shadows again, and I run through my room ect. Its terrible. Im never gonna live alone, Im gonna have a panic atack like 4 times a week :(

  • 25 years of age and the phobia grown more and more irrational. Its not just around sleepy time anymore,,, during a power outage i can't even get up to use the restroom without a flashlight or a lit candle. When its evening, I can't get into any other room of my house unless that room is pre-lit. I don't go out socially a lot because of the few minutes i'll have in the dark once I get home and the fun is over. This,,, helps... Thank you... Not as deep as it would need to be to completely eradicate the phobia, but an excellent start nonetheless

  • I'm here cause I remembered this funny thing I used to have. As a teen, I realized sexual arousal helps lol. That's when your mind is occupied with nothing else than whatever playful thought it's occupied with. I couldn't think about stupid monsters when I wanted some ugh. I grew out of it as well as my nyctophobia. I think what worked is me focusing on other things. Miss those days.. oops, nights, that was fun.
