Back from 5 weeks in the field and away from the internet. I see allot of new faces here.
Herstorically, I have always made my base camps as far as possible from artificial lights. Of course that has been increasingly difficult to do.
After last year's light horrors, I have been working to build immunities against the light phobia. During this field tour I deliberately set my camps within view of at least one country glare. These days country folks are out shining the big cities, so it was a "natural" progression.
I am back to my suburban base for a week now and thinking I have, indeed, progressed with the light phobia. The early dawn inventories of the coming day's work have been pain free. The neighboring lights have been reduced to the level of traffic noise and AC compressors.
Either that or the phobia is gathering forces for another attack...
Prayers welcome.

Light phobia's a new one to me. I've been coping with the opposite. It's been overcast and dark for a series of days now, and the lack of sunlight affects how well I can cope with my PTSD.
Hope you're making the adjustment ok.
