By talking about it, it's a first step for me to dealing with this fear. Phobias are persistent and excessive fear of objects, situations and activities. Fear of the dark being one of the common types of phobia though it's common among children, it can affect adults, young adults as well. Fear of the dark is common however if it disturbs your daily life like difficulty sleeping, going to certain work engagements because of the fear of leaving the house in the dark, then it becomes a problem and can be treated with therapy, however they are ways to dealing with it. Always here to help each other. Adios! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/martha-apendi/message
