l hate the night l am so afraid l just eat and make myself so ill

Thanks for your suggestions A pet is not a realistic option for me I'm afraid .I just find it strange and difficult to accept that I have such fear . I have been like this since I was a small child and always thought that I would grow out of it ! Maybe by the time I'm 90 I will be ok

Confused! OP was by jillgood, yet we are thanked for our suggestions by Gandtee9

Phoenix, confused me too at first, then I noticed Gandtee9 posted on 2nd page that he/she also had a similar fear, and got several suggestions to try and help.

jillgood/Gandtee 're reading your posts, I'm wondering if they are totally right?

We are completely here for genuine posts, but get a bit miffed when people take the piss advantage.

Just saying. You may be 100% genuine, but the name change mid thread seems rather odd.

Try looking at the letters and posts of the following group. My bowel problems have been a lot better since I followed the advice on there.

Try reading the letters of this group, I found a lot of good advice on there, and while my bowel troubles have been cured, at least they are under control.

Its a long link, but it works.

I find the eating bit hard to understand because if I over-react to something, I can't eat and would be as sick as a dog if I tried.

NATURAL SOLUTION FOR BOWEL ISSUES
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil [120 calories] daily in the morning [not at night], followed by a drink or food [taste is not nice], interestingly Olive Oil also satiates the appetite.

I don't dissuade anyone from going to the GP however gasto-intestinal problems are utterly miserable and some medications prescribed for stomach and bowel do not ameliorate the problems, and can cause further constipation, bloating, indigestion, nausea and vomiting. After years of investigations and medication this discovery has changed my life - now only take 2 teaspoon olive oil a day [no more Laxido, Macrogel etc ] I URGE everyone to try this remedy before reaching for the proprietary brands of medications

Wish I could be like that. I am a compulsive eater - just love foo. Anything which upsets me and I turn to food for consolation.
Even when I am unwell I can still eat - in fact have to be very, very ill to lose my appetite. On the occasions that I do so, it rings serious alarm bells with my children.

I added a comment to thank people for suggestions New to this posting so was unaware of protocol Didn't want to upset anyone Phoenix I've been lurking for a while now and may be a while before I post again if this is the reaction !

Jillgood obviously knows that flatulance and poo always gets a good reaction.
I didn't believe a word of it from the off. Too much information given in the OP. That's always a clue.

Annepl, I hope Schitt's Creek has sent you to bed some nights relaxed and smiling?
An episode at bedtime works well for me.

It has Delilathank you. We loved it. I'm letting some time lapse before rewatching.
We followed it with Afterlife. I must look on TV forum for more recommendations.
Tbh the alarm doorstop has worked well or maybe my brain has finally decided at sixty nine there's no point in worrying any longer.

It's great that you've found something that works so well for you Annepl and gives your brain a chance to switch off at last. Sixty-nine years is long enough and whatever it was that started your fear of the night belongs in the distant past.

Thank you Delila. ?

I feel the same I hate nightime and winter i get very down and stressed . I get jittery and restless wish I had someone to talk to.
