Hello crybaby,
There may be a simple way of treating your feelings of anxiety in the dark.
Irrational fears are usually due to a metabolic disorder that luckily can be treated without recourse to drugs.
The feelings of fears are caused by excess internal adrenaline production due to hypoglycemia. Val is quite right when she suggested that when we have an irrational fear we will project this on to the world, and externalize it, and imagine things that fits our feelings.
What happens is that for the body to feel relaxed and happy, it needs the feel-good neurotransmitters such a
serotonin. This is obtained from ingredients in our diet. For the body to manufacture these feel good hormones, it needs lots of
Biological Energy called (ATP). This is energy is essential for the body to manufacture the feel-good
neurotransmitters.
People who have
hypoglycemia, due to
Insulin Resistance cannot produce sufficient energy for serotonin production.
When the brain is starved of energy it will trigger the release of adrenaline, which is responsible for anxiety and unnecessary worries.
Without having to understand the biochemical mechanisms involved you will find that going on a
Hypoglycemic Diet, will solve your problems.
