What do you fear (today)?

[The_Abyss]

In line with my "when were you last truly happy" post, I wondered about what other people fear?

Is it an "every day fear", or is it a "just today" fear?

Do you fear getting out of bed? Do you fear opening the mail? Do you fear the phone ringing? Do you fear being alone? Do you fear the darkness descending? Do you fear confrontations? Do you fear rejection? Do you fear not feeling anything at all?

I wonder if just voicing that fear, sharing that fear, will help to take away it's power? Or will it give it life?

For me, my big fear at the moment is being found out. Fearing my kids or family will come across my posts. Fear a colleague will recognise my writing style or circumstances. Fear that someone will see through this big brave front I put on to get through the door each day. Fear that someone sees my vulnerability.

Today i fear the possibility of my mum not getting better from her severe anxiety and depression that she is currently suffering since October 16'. I want light at the end of this dark tunnel. 😞

Hi Geoff,

A long long time ago, I was going away for holidays and I asked a friend if she could look after my budgie while we were away. She agreed and when I returned, her mother told me that my friend had a fear of moths and birds but she didn't tell me! She looked after my budgie and said nothing. Needless to say, I never asked her again, and less surprisingly... we are still friends thirty years later. You don't let the special ones like her fade out of your life.

I fear monsters and the paranormal, I know i'm a little too old to be scared of monsters, but right now as i'm home alone I have my bedroom door locked and boxes pushed in front of it, and i'm checking my wardrobe and under my bed every 10 minutes or so. I'm also avoiding looking in the mirror.

I fear being made fun of. I fear people's judgement of me. I fear people at work will judge me, and my friends will too. I fear I will never be enough or get it right.

I fear I have ruined too much, and can never regain an image of myself as being competent and able.

Hello to all the new (and not so new) bods that have shared their fears of late.

I hope you feel less alone by knowing that others understand and share your fears.....

Thank you for all the advice Abyss. I appreciate your kindness.

The trip home was uneventful and L O N G. Since then I've had a couple of great nights sleep. My mood is ok overall. Only short periods of "rattiness" and tiredness.

Thanks again, Lyn.

I fear I love too much. Therefore I fear having too much to lose.
