Hey there Pink! My name is Kay and I can really relate to your fear about being along. I spend much of my time alone and since the time changed it gets dark real early and I start freaking. As far as hte basement thing goes. Leave all the lights on you can. Carry a flashlight with you when you go down. Can you shift the crap out of your way so you dont have to climb over it? I remind myself that there is nothing down there in the dark, that is not there in the daylight and that I have the doors locked.

I dont know why I didnt think of a flash light but thank you this way I can shine light on the first room. yea i can push the shit outta my way. Its alot of kids things. I just gotta work up the strength to get down there.

Good advice, Kay! Whenever I'm nervous at night, I keep a flashlight handy. I check the batteries often so I'm confident it'll be ready if I need it.

I do believe that items can hold energy from the people that own or use them, so I can see how you'd be uncomfortable walking through a room full of someone else's possessions. Will they be coming to get them soon? If not, how long does the landlord plan on keeping them? Is storage space part of your rental agreement? ... Maybe the landlord needs to clean them out so you can "store your stuff" in there (even if you don't really have stuff to store."

If the landlord won't do it, cleaning up that area might be a great job for you and your boyfriend together. Tell him you keep tripping over stuff and if the two of you clean it up, you'll feel safer going down there alone - I'm sure he wouldn't want you to twist an ankle with no one home! By cleaning it up, you're adding your own energy to the stuff, which may make it feel less weird to walk past in the future.

Hugs,
