Hey Cykn,
I too am scared of the dark, not as much now as I used to be but I still get really scared if I was to go downstairs at night, even with the lights on. I don't see it as not being healthy, in fact, it's been proven that a fear of the dark is one of the most common fears out of them all. I'm not sure what you can do, I reckon the fear will decrease as you get older, it did for me. As I said I'm not fully over it as I still get scared going downstairs but if I look back 5 years ago, I'd have to have my light on in my room, now I don't have to. There is a weird feeling I get sometimes still that I would be sitting up in my bed and I'd get a feeling that something's behind me, that freaks me out. So basically in short I'm afraid you're just going to have to stick it out for now. I've never had a problem with closing my eyes though, how long has that been going on?
