What do you fear (today)?

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.

I fear being on disability the rest of my life when I know I can work, but just need the medication that enables me to be fully functional but is too expansive 'non pbs' without it.
I fear never finding work because I now live in a remote town as I bought a house because rent is just too high.
I fear "being 35" never finding any one that loves me, and I've got a cat... I mean a human
I fear never having a family and knowing what it feels like to be a dad.
I fear that I will never know any type of love again, for my self or anyone else.
I fear being alone and still living just because I haven't died, not because I want life anymore.
