I was scared of the dark, last night. What, and indeed, the hell. I thought I didn't want to turn off the light and go to sleep because it was an admission of failure, because I'd spent another day without achieving much of anything, only then I actually did turn off the light and it was too dark and I couldn't see.

I don't even -

*flails unhappily*

- seriously, what? That's just levels of epic fail that I don't even know how to deal with.

Oh, sweetie. Your brain is working overtime, isn't it? *wraps you up in a fuzzy blanket* xx

The brain is really quite annoyingly ridiculous sometimes. *big squishy hugs* ♥

Hon, stop being so hard on yourself. These things happen sometimes. It doesn't make you a failure. Sometimes it just *happens*.

No failure in being twitchy at the dark; it's something brains just do, sometimes. Or at least mine does. I used to be scared of the dark as a kid; these days I like it, but every so often my hindbrain decides it's time to revert for a bit.

Dude, if being afraid of the dark sometimes is epic levels of fail then we are ALL full of fail.

*agrees with other posters!*

NOT epic fail.

um. in all honesty, that sounds like an anxiety attack. Medically reasonable, mentally WTF. It happens to everyone in varying degrees I think, and the anxiety doesn't even have to be something we're normally afraid of. I'd say don't worry about it, but mention this to your counselor.
