I'm scared of the dark because terrible nightmares :-( they were so bad I wouldn't sleep for days on end, which of course didn't make the situation better.

Wow.. sorry to hear little kitty. I never had a nightlight and I wouldn't be able to sleep if I did. I have dark, torturous nightmares about 3-4 times a year. I never really sleep well, but I can't imagine your situation.

And yes, sleeping with a partner can help... but it has to be the right partner. I've only ever had one that helped. The rest made me even more restless...
Mine was almost daily, so knew if I went to bed I'll have one. I've never had another intimate sleeping partner, so I won't know how that affects things, but I can see what you mean. As kids both my brother and I were super scared of the dark, so he came to sleep on the end of my bed, or under it when my parents told him that he should stop coming to my room.

I’m 25, so we’re basically the same age. To keep it brief I’ll say I have severe trust issues- basically I find it very hard to be vulnerable with people.

The right partner, will change everything. Just be careful who becomes right- you’ll miss them for the rest of your life after they’re gone.
.
The wrong partners made me wish they were gone so I can try and sleep in peace.

Sorry to hear fluff. Tell us if there’s something we can do to help :)
I used to have to sleep with a light on till I was probably around 15 (probably due to the combination of an overactive imagination and my PTSD) Nowadays, I can sleep without any light whatsoever.
