Sudden Flash Of Fear Then It's Gone -

I'll try not to be to detailed. I don't want to cause anyone to have a trigger or panic attack.


Sometimes when I get ready for bed and my honey is already asleep I just leave the lights off so I don't bother him. Sometimes in the pitch black I feel like someone is going to violently grab me.

I always freeze in the spot I'm in and breathe through it until I can move and then any source of light and its on. Usually my silver flashlight. A blind person could find it. It's always in the same place.

Then the night light goes on. I'm really tired of that stress.
Now that I think about this its been happening since I can remember.

Could your partner put the night light on before they go to sleep? That way it wouldn't be pitch black when you go to the bedroom.

Oh it's on now. It's not all the time it's a random thing. Like I forgot I was scared of the dark and then all of a sudden I remembered. It's so freaky.
