Curse the Dark

[shadow_moses]

My girlfriend doesn't have an account here, so I am posting this here for her. Lately she has redeveloped a fear of the dark. Nothing more than school has been going on. And I was wondering if its normal or from increased stress, cause she's been under so much stress lately. Not sure whats going on, she has a problem discussing her "flaws" with me.

It could quite possibly be caused by stress, since she is under a lot. You say she has redeveloped a fear of the dark. Maybe something has triggered this fear again. I'd say that stress is definitely a contributing factor though. Keep trying to talk to her about it; that should help things a bit in finding out what's going on.

Yes stress can trigger many things to happen to your mind and body.

Does she have any form of mental illness or anxiety? I suffer from anxiety, and one of the things that seems to have come along with that is a fear of the dark, as silly as it sounds. As of yet I have not found a way to cure my own fear of the dark, but if she does have a mental illness and she went to get meds for it, it might help.
