Normally, I would step in and defend my area here, but a few weeks ago a woman in the neighborhood was killed in her home in the middle of the day, so I'll just shut up and go check to make certain that my windows are locked. :(
:( Oh sorry to hear that happened. I'd be very cautious and scared as well. Is the person(s) captive? if not, I'd be worried as well. Hopefully, there'll be justice for the poor woman.

As far as I know, they still don't know who did it. It was a bit of a sketchy situation, however, and apparently she had been hosting card games (where money changed hands) in her house and it was known throughout her circle that she kept a large amount of cash in her house. They believe that money was the motive.
It's a bit of a relief, but it really makes me sad to think that it was probably someone who knew her and that she had invited into her home.

I know. It freaked me the hell out, too, that I had been out walking in the neighborhood with the baby (in the stroller) and walked right by that house within like minutes of when they believe it happened. And it's just sad. :(

Yeah that seem to be the case most of the time that it's someone the victim knew. Still very sad and scare regardless.
In this case, it's still unsolved so I don't blame you for being timid. Just hope they solve the mystery for your neighbor's relief.
Not necessarily afraid of the dark but afraid of being by myself.
Hubby and I share a cottage in NE WI with our in-laws and I get VERY afraid when I'm by myself with the kids and dog. The fact that we were robbed last August doesn't help.
Oh yeah, I'm 40! :eek: I can deal with deer and bears but a toothless monger creeps me out. It's all in my head but I can't help it!

i'm 29 and just recently got used to the dark in my own place. but i don't like the darkness when i'm outside. i'm not too bad indoors, but i do have moments when i freak myself out. at my parents house i still get a bit scared in the dark because that house is just scary, but i'm not as scared as i used to be.
No need to be void, or save up on life...

wtf are you typing about? thread integrity? Here? online?
we were robbed... the thieves left the television on the front porch. I drove up ahead of hubby and the kids... skipped around the corner to see my television sitting on the stairs!!! I called 911 and it took 30 minutes for someone to arrive! I balled like a baby ( good thing the officer was smoking hot!)---
yeah, I'm afriad of the dark when my screams for help would go unnoticed. Sleeping with a thick knife helps.
I'm 33 and terrified of the dark, because of what I cannot see.
I tell myself it is irrational, but my heart rate continues to climb as I search for a light switch.
Hell, I've nearly been in tears when I've been the last to leave an office - shutting out all of the lights, looking down long dark hallways then running to a car in a desolate parking lot.
I also torture myself by watching scary movies. If a movie looks really scary, I'll go to the theater by myself to see it, just to make things that much worse.
Walking can be a real trip

Is anyone else kind of still afraid of the dark just a little bit? : o
I'm ok most of the time, but then sometimes I just get freaked out when I have to turn off the lights and go upstairs and go to bed. :rolleyes:
yeh me too. Even if I'm not watching telly, when I decide to switch off the light and go to sleep, I turn on the telly so I can have that light on the way back to my bed... which is approximately 2 steps away :rolleyes: I'm fine most of the time but the odd time I just get this sudden case of the shivers and freak out a bit and jump into bed and pull the covers over my head til I calm down WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF???

I keep a hurling stick beside the bed... just for peace of mind... cos one night I was alone and heard noises and was looking around thinking there's nothing here I could even use... so now generally it's not just the hurling stick... there are a few items beside my bed that could also serve as a blunt object

I'm 34 and afraid of the dark. I've always been. I refuse to watch scary movies cause I just freak myself out all night long if I do. Ever since my ex and I split I've starting leaving the lights on downstairs when I go to bed...which is crazy cause if there ever was an intruder I'm the one that would have had to protect us anyway I sleep much better during the day.

it's the same for me. I think my electricity bill has gone up since he left cause of al the lights I leave on. And for some reason it's more peaceful to sleep during the day...even thought I guess the same things could happen.

I like having the background noise of other people awake and doing things during the day. At night it helps me to have the tv on. The quiet creeps me out unless I'm up and doing things...then I love it

Plus you have the little one at home, I would imagine that makes you even more concerned??

Yeah, it does. Everything that used to worry me does so much more after becoming a mom and having to be concerned about her well-being too!
