Fear

[Snowflake]

What are you afraid of?

 

[Heather]

Most days...everything.

 

[Gs172003]

Right now? Feeling trapped

 

[Tinyflame]

Much.

 

[mrsps]

Not fitting in, not being good enough, being wrong ..... the list goes on

 

[Sideways]

My agoraphobia would strongly indicate that I have a pervasive fear of pretty much everything beyond my apartment door.

Right now, I'm also juggling simultaneous fears of knowing the truth about my childhood abuse, and not knowing the truth about my childhood abuse.

And underlying all of that, I think I have a fear of having ptsd. Duh! I know I've got ptsd, and I've been in therapy for it for years. But the idea that all my crazy beliefs that I hold on to for dear life - that they're just a typical response to being really badly abused as a kid and not actually the truth? That's terrifying me for some reason.

Failure

That's the big one for me.

 

[expectingbetter]

Of getting a proper real work.
That is also my greatest wish but I am terrified due to so bad experiences in the past
I am so scared I will sink so deeply again if I can't make it there
good question @Snowflake

here we have so many fears

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of what people think of me, societal norms, not knowing when a mental "red flag" appears, getting into taxis at night, the dark, being in open spaces alone, and (unfortunately) making new friends with men.

I'm trying to work on the first two at the moment since they prevent me from living my life regularly and normally. Everything else will come later, and I try to work on them when opportunities for safely experiencing them come up.

I realize we all have fears-I just wanted to not feel so abnormal -

 

[Snowflake]

Mine -closing my eyes at night and seeing shadows in my eye lids...opening my eyes and seeing shadows . Afraid of the dark, crowds, noise, talking, sharing my trauma, pain, the truth about my trauma, people talking near me, bathrooms, failure, PTSD........
