Today, I had to clean out my room because I was having a sleepover. Only, I've not been in here for months since I've spent every night in my mom's room because I'm too scared to sleep alone. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a sleepover with two of my friends. We only had one bed, and it ended up with me against the wall. I then remembered that I'm very claustrophobic, and can't sleep. It's 4 a.m. FML
Today, I have been trying to stop sleeping during the day, so I decided to clean my room to keep myself awake. Four hours later, I woke up on the floor. FML
Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML
Today, I spent the day cleaning my apartment because my parents are visiting on Monday. I finally finished at midnight and went to bed exhausted. Then my mother called to say they couldn't make it after all. FML
Today, I was feeling too tired because I couldn't sleep last night, due to my mother's snoring. Since I stayed with both my parents and my sister in a small town for a vacation, I requested to sleep in separate rooms because my mother's snoring is disgustingly loud. She refused, and called me a crybaby. FML
Today, I cleaned my room, which I’d been putting off for ages. Halfway through, I sat down “just for a second” to check my phone. Two hours later, I was still scrolling, surrounded by half-sorted piles of stuff. When my roommate walked in and asked if I was reorganizing or giving up, I didn’t know. FML
Today, I realized the only reason my mom trusts me to stay home alone for long periods of time is because I don't have enough friends to throw a party. FML
Today, I had to share my room with my cousin while she stayed over. I let her take my bed while I slept on the floor. Not only do my back and neck hurt, but I had to clean vomit out of my hair. Apparently, she "wasn't feeling well" last night. FML
Today, I hired out a motel room so I could stay there by myself and lie to my mother and grandmother about having friends. This is the third time. FML
Today, I learned that one should not sleep with their roommate's friends, especially the ones that never go home. I spent the whole weekend in my room just to avoid the awkwardness. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I do not understand why you would have the urge to announce something like this to the world.

Yay for compassion, already got a massive majority of YDIs here. Nobody even knows why the OP is scared of sleeping alone. More likely than not, the OP suffers some kind of psychological disorder, possibly caused by childhood trauma. Taking the piss only makes it worse. FYL indeed.

Agreed..I sleep with the light an tv on because Im afraid of the dark. Also I usually make sure one of my pets is with me because I'm afraid of being alone :) I sometimes sleep in my mom's room too

I do too sometimes, but only because I have sleep paralysis and I am afraid I won't wake up because there's been a few close calls before.....

Is the fear a fear of something specific that's cured by being around someone? I know the silence freaks me out tremendously, and during the few days I didn't have a TV or radio (we were in the moving process) I had to sleep in my sisters room because I needed the background noise of her snoring. If its just something like that try and find a cure. Or is the fear an actual fear of being alone? If this is the case you've got a problem. Or at least, you will at some point. I don't really know how to get rid of this but you should probably try and figure something out.
