What Are We Afraid Of?

[Abstract]

I am afraid of admitting I am afraid.

 

[Whitneys story]

May I ask, are we afraid of each other?

Here definately not at all. In the real world I am quite vigilant. I have one of those faces that others will stop me and spill their story. I have a calming effect on people. Not a clue why?

I am afraid that I will always be like this. That I will always be alone. I am afraid of not healing. I am afraid that I am a lost cause.

You are so not a lost cause, and you are becoming so much better. Years of horror and no relief take time to recover.

Please give yourself a huge hug from yourself. Every post you make shows improvement. I believe you have the record for most improved. And you will continue as practice makes promise of for many better days as we go.

I wish we were not so far away I would love to walk the beach. We could build sand castles and have picnics.

Building sandcastles would be so lovely.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I am feeling poorly.

I am afraid of what the future holds, of being alone and by myself when I am really old.

 

[ms spock]

I am afraid I won't get on top of this anxiety.

I am terribly afraid of being on my own and being lonely.

Me too. I am afraid of living alone. I am afraid of getting older. I am only fifty eight years old, but I need to find me a life. I am afraid of starting over and I am afraid of being destitute.

 

[ms spock]

I am afraid of being the way I am now for a long time.

 

[Loloma]

Yes Gizmo, that's my biggest worry to.

We fear harm coming to the Self.
We fear the unknown.
We fear connection with others.

 

[ms spock]

I fear being disconnected from people. I fear being disconnected from myself.
