What Are We Afraid Of?

[Froggie]

I fear getting metastassis in my brain if the cancer acts up again. Not that there is a big chance, but at the center I go to for incurable cancers, it has happened to some, really leaves them with handicaps.

Fear the overwhelming anxiety, at the moment, despite doing so much better today.

I'm afraid of getting better. It is the unknown that is ahead of me that causes that fear. I still am striving to get better but, at times, I am very nervous about it.

 

[ms spock]

I fear all the crap in my head. I fear all the loss of my life.

Being frozen and stuck.

I fear success. I don't know what it looks like, I don't know what it feels like, I don't know how to deal with the possibility of success because it's so unfamiliar to me. I've only ever known darkness and sadness and a deep sense of helplessness. I want success, I don't want darkness and sadness... yet, the thought of success gives me anxiety that feels like bugs crawling underneath my skin.

I feel the negativity within me. The distorted thinking. The feeling not good enough. The feeling disconnected from other people.

I am afraid to live alone with all of this pain and grief. I need to be surrounded by family.

 

[LostWorld]

I'm afraid that I'm going to fail at whatever I do and when I do my family will point it and use that against me

 

[ms spock]

I am afraid I won't heal.

 

[ms spock]

Being stuck

Ms Spock you will heal in time even if you feel stuck for the moment. Believe me I know how you feel, it's a lot of two steps forward, three steps back. Think of the frog in the crane's mouth with it's hands around the cranes neck. Never, never give up. ;)
