dark help: I have just moved into a lovely house. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I have just moved into a lovely house.

Trouble is, it’s on it’s own in the countryside, which is great by day, but at night very scary! I live alone. I feel like a right idiot because i’m so scared there at night. I have started stayig at my b/f’s house sometimes because i hate the dark. I’m stuck into a 12 month contract, so what do i do?

Make the house as nice as possible, use some light colors in dark ereas, and also in the garden. maybe even buy a ittle bedlight, leave the radio softly on till late. Put flowers on the table. When you have conquered this fear you can be proud of yourself.

how sweet of you guys. Thank you. Yes it is a case of making the most of it. I am trying to be brave, i’m a police officer for goodness sakes!! But i think that makes it worse because i keep seeing images in my head, AND i know what awful things CAN happen!! I’m screwed!!

I will try the suggestions you both have made though, thank you. xx

I used to be pertrified travelling home at night from my gfs when she moved to a farm in the countryside. It freaks you out at first if you are from the town, but you get used to it after a while (I’m still getting used to how quiet it is out here - I grew up with the background hum of the motorway in my ears. :) )

Buy a dog, or have your bf stay with you. Or you can ask around if anyone wants to stay with you for free or share part of the rent.
