"intense darkness" - Translation from English to Arabic

But lately, the darkness just feels really intense, like, um... these little messed-up voices that pollute my brain are just getting louder, and I just feel completely selfish for having any of these anxious or depressed thoughts,
ولكن مؤخرًا , اشعر بأن الظلام كثيف حقًا ...مثل تلك الاصوات الصغيرة السيئة

Despite everything... the intense competition, the threats, the darkness... they need their forest, just as their forest needs them.
برغم كل شيء؛ المنافسة المحتدمة ،والتهديدات والسواد الحالك فإنهم يحتاجون الغابة تماماً كما الغابة تحتاج إليهم
