What Are We Afraid Of?

[Jen93]

I'm terrified of bees/ wasps. I've never gotten stung by one and I don't plan on it. If I ever see one, I run away so fast its unbelievable. I guess it's the fear of getting stung more than the actual bees/wasps, and as I've never gotten stung I don't know if I'm allergic to bee stings or not. I think it's rational-what if I was alone and got stung and I was allergic? That could then (quite literally) be the death of me! :o

I am afraid of my husband losing his mind and me having to take care of him.

Today I realized I am afraid of feeling my feelings, whichever ones. And very much so. It's like feelings are dangerous. Got to explore this further...

I'm afraid of what effects my PTSD can have on my children as time goes by.

I'm afraid I'll have panic attacks every day for the rest of my life until I end up totally crazy.

I'm afraid of H and my family leaving. I'm afraid of getting lost. I hate being separated from whoever I'm on a shopping trip with. It makes me feel so lost, alone and in a panic.

Terrified of being mocked or humiliated in any way to do with my traumas - being invalidated

Me too!! One of my biggest fears!

I'm afraid that when I actually get to the really severe trauma stuff in therapy, I won't be able to cope

Yep, I have lived this one for the last 3 months. When I finally stopped fighting my T (actually fighting myself) and started, it was ok. I needed more me time to process, but I now know I can do this.

I'm afraid of being unable to cope on my own.

I am afraid of being desperately needy and going to toxic people who present themselves as good in the beginning. I need a great bullshit dectector.

I'm afraid of clowns and the people who dress up with the big character heads. You don't know who is in that head. Made it a little difficult when I worked for a toy store and we had to do that once in awhile. I wouldn't like mickey mouse coming up to me. I avoid them at all costs.
