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.

We are all here for you.

I fear my new found confidence is all a crock. I can feel little panic sensors starting to sound .

My last psych session is Thursday after 7 years OMG! Totally going to lose it - I can't do this

Hey Stressless.....

Yes you can! If I can....You Can!

your last appointment? You will still have someone if you need them won't you?.....I have been wondering how you are coping with all that has happened. You are stronger than you think.....much love xx

SL, you can do it, i have faith in you.

Having been with an abusive person i can tell you it takes time to realise how much better off you are without them in your life.

Allow your self time to adjust, time to grieve the loss of your relationship, time to get back on your feet as a the strong independent woman that we know you are.

I fear confrontation from my employees, I fear failure, fear loneliness.

Hey beautiful SL. As you've been told, you are much, much stronger than you think you are. You can do this, you need to do this. Try and be in the moment and not let the panic sensors distract you. I think the majority of the stuff we think about that makes us anxious is a crock of absolute rubbish! It doesn't deserve the time of day! Tell it to sod off and leave you alone!

You'll be in my prayers tonight.

I am afraid of not feeling better, I am afraid of being unemployed and living on the street, I am afraid of buying an appartment, I am afraid of losing my parents, I am afraid of not being able to cope, I am afraid of being lonely, I am afraid of people not liking me, I am afraid of confrontation.

I am lonely.

I feel so alone.

I have had to (chosen to) give up an ongoing job for a temporary one (22 months). I feel totally unsupported by my previous boss who didn't hold my other job for me - even though I know this sounds childish.

I am scared and I am lonely.

And I don't know how to get my sense of hope back, of optimism, of happiness.

I feel so down and don't know what to do.

I now am lost how do I as a parent deal with my child who has been diagnosed with autism. What am I to do I know physical disabilities in spades. Autism is new to me how do I treat him: how do I teach him how am I to get it right. Usually I get it right first time with little to no help from anyone but me and the kids. I am just that good. I learnt from a young age the right things to do around kids. What I didn't learn then I worked out later on in life common sense stuff. Now I have no experience to guide me give me direction.

So alone no one beside me to whisper in my ear try this or do that try something I am so alone
