    That's rather stupid. If she's prone to hyperventilate, etc. in dark spaces, she's a danger to her teammates. A lot of people try the military that shouldn't; some realize they shouldn't be there and either go before a medical board and get discharged or wait out their contract and don't say a thing. Some people don't, and those that don't often get their teammates killed.

    I never used to be afraid of the dark until a few months ago when i developed bad anxiety lol. Though i'm not afraid of the dark outside it's only inside =].

    do what he said, seems smart. I used to be scared of the dark then i realized if i closed my eyes it's exactly the same. And after that the dark is nothing to me. Unless im in a strange place.

    I have a fear of spiders, and heights. I could probably get over spider fear although they are freaky little buggers. But for some reason everytime I'm high off the ground (and by high I mean like 8-10 feet) I get dizzy. I don't know...lmao

    I've always wanted to jump off a roof though.

    I was afraid of bugs, and would flip out whenever I saw one. Then my friends decided to ------ with me and took a box of crickets, snails, and worms and dumped it over my head, and I realized their small and cant do ----. Then I shoved a snail down my friends pants and gave him a super wedgie. The snail shell broke and he had snail goo on his ass. It was hilarious.

    Kinda used to happen to me. All I have to do when I'm walking around in the dark is just say "It's not real" in my head, because those things from scary movies are NOT REAL. Helps me a bunch.

    Cept for the movie signs........those aliens make me shiver ...
