Im scared. Scared of the dark.

Every morning i freak my self out walking to the car because its dark and I'm by my self. I don't watch the news and i don't watch scary movies. I don't watch CSI or anything like that because that is what ill think of when I'm by myself in the dark. I'm looking over my shoulder, walking fast, and jut freaked out. Its a problem. then once iv goten to the car i feel fine i feel safe but then i get to work and thank goodness our cleaning lady Mel is there already in side before we open. But i still have to get out of the car in the empty parking lot walk in the back gate and up to the door and again I'm freaked out.
Iv tried calming down but my brain is stubborn and i get thinking of all the crazy people that are out there and that i just might run into one of them.
So iv prayed for comfort and safety iv even sung a hymn in my head but I'm still paranoid. recently iv been thinking about getting some peeper spray that maybe that would make me feel save. and that i could feel like i had some kind of protection. So we will see if that helps. and I'm open to any suggestions that you might have that make you feel safe.
