NYCTOPHOBIA
[noun]
(from Greek νυκτός - nuktos, genitive of νύξ - nux, “night” and φόβος - phobos, “fear”) a phobia characterised by a severe fear of the darkness. It is triggered by the brain’s disfigured perception of what would or could happen when in a dark environment.
Despite its pervasive nature, there has been a lack of etiological research on the subject. The fear of darkness (nyctophobia) is a psychologically-impacted feeling of being disposed from comfort to a fear-evoking state. The fear of darkness or night has several non-clinical terminologies—lygophobia, scotophobia and achluophobia.

NOPE
The second image with the hands coming out from under the bed— I often have that irrational fear exactly, and it freaks me out, even though it’s completely illogical
this is actually why i have to sleep with all of the doors in my room closed, turn all my mirrors away, and keep my blinds closed at night
I’m stuck between wanting to be an adult, accomplishing a lot, and contributing a lot to society and lying on my floor, ignoring my responsibilities, and crying to sad songs alone in my room.
