Afraid of the Dark!
I jumped out of bed at 5 a.m, ready to take on the new day! I fed the dogs, made my protein drink, caught up on the news, and was ready to take my pups for a walk! I looked outside and it was pitch black!
I’m not comfortable taking my dogs for a walk in the dark. This may be related to my childhood, when I was afraid of the dark, whether outside or inside, in my bedroom. I just never felt comfortable roaming around in the dark.
This is called “nyctophobia”, an irrational fear of darkness or night.
