Ok I am 25 and I was diagnosed bipolar um well formally about 4 years ago. Well in the last year I stopes taking my medication do to other health issues and I have now developed several extreme unrealistic fears. Ok so I have always had one unrealistic fear of the dark. I hate the dark. I can not go out side I it is dark aloun I freeze with fear. I have been that way since I was a kid. But now it is worse and different. Out of no were I will have tearfing nightmares and wake up crying about something...
