being scared

By jpw2008 Saturday, January 22, 2011

hi folks

I think ill never get over being afraid

I had a pattern of going outside

I guess i've always been afraid

My thoughts are racing

I never can get to whats bothering me

It seems like everything is

I can aford clothes

I make it thru each day dont enjoy it

I get angry over little things

Im hungry all the time

Hi Jon,

Fear is a difficult thing to overcome... but it is good that you continue to face up to it. I have racing thoughts too... sometimes it helps me to challenge them into a fantasy. This also has the benefit of stopping me from overanalysing everything that is going on around me because I'm busy playing out a scenario in my mind.

Hey Jon

 

It is interesting...I just wrote a post for the anxiety site about social anxiety among celebrities.  Some very famous people share the same fears as you do...for example Kim Basinger suffers from agoraphobia.  Donny Osmond was afraid to go to malls for fear of being ridiculed.  Barbara Streisand refused to sing in public for nearly thirty years because of one time she forgot the lyrics to her song.  We are all human.

 

Again...I will say to you...don't beat yourself up because you have phobias or fears.  I have a daily battle with mine as well.  I know how hard it can be.

 

Keep talking to us.  I hope it helps some.
