Hi I think have this Cherophobia and wonder if anyone else has this.
I am scared when I am happy that something bad will happen as this is the usual case with me all out through my life.I seem to want to be unhappy and just waiting for something bad to happen.How do i overcome this fear or do I just live with it as this is the safe option.I am scared of heights so i stay away from hsights so do i just stay away from happiness?
Your thoughts are welcome.
Take care,
Mark.

I agree with you Mark about the kind words and support meaning a lot to people.
Sorry to hear that it rained there, hopefully the weather is better for you tomorrow and you enjoy your air show and have a better day.

Hey Mark, just checking and replying to threads before i try to get some sleep.
Hopefully the weather is fine for you tomorrow. I should take naps too, my meds make me drowsy and insomnia but I don't, maybe I should.
I'm sorry people don't talk to you on Facebook, but I'm glad that you have people on here who care, support and talk to you and I hope I'm one of them. I'm the same as you though, no one talks to me, so it's nice to be here although I do feel left out at times but I try to focus on those like you who talk to me, so thank you.
Yeah my Dog does that with my Mum too haha, it's cute but annoying haha.
Take care, sleep well and sweet dreams. I hope your day and the weather is better for you tomorrow.

Have fun today Mark, hope you enjoy your day.
I wish we could give each other our Facebook names but because of privacy, etc. we can't, fair enough.
And you're welcome, thank you too.
Take care aswell.

Hey Mark, glad to hear that you enjoyed the Air Show.
The one in your profile picture looks lovely, blue is my favourite colour, especially that one of the plane. They should have an option here where you can just post pictures, as long as they're approved of course. And GIFs, like a hugging one.
Yeah that's true, it would be nice but i respect the rules. And you're right maybe one day they will, who knows?

Hi Tayla it was good to do something then just staying at home.We both did something this weekend you went to the art show and i went to the air show.We should encourage each other to do things.I was really nervous about going so it was good for me to go.
Take care,
Your friend,
Mark.

Hey Mark.
Good idea actually, we can do that! Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah I agree with you, sometimes it can be good leaving the house, sometimes it can be good staying at home.
I like the plane in your profile pic, I'm sure there were so many nice ones!
