When that little voice says, "i can't do that, that's too scary"

I was thinking about this last night. (when I couldn't sleep lol) When you're thinking of something coming up to do, something you need to do, etc. and that voice comes in, when do you know to listen to it and keep yourself feeling safe vs. pushing through it to be living a life again? Struggling with that balance. My fears have continued to grow and grow, severly limiting what I do, don't do, where I go (when I make myself go somewhere) Seems there is a line between selfcomforting and making your world so tiny it's unlivable by usual standards...where's that line? How to discern? If I'm already in such a panic state, isn't the goal to get calmer but then you end up with no groceries and alone, taking bubble baths round the clock.....:wall:
 
Cyndi,

I'm locking this thread, because I've already asked you once in another post to please read the editorial policy of this forum. If you had read the policy, you would have read that we require all titles to posts to be capitalized.

Once you've proven that you've read the editorial policy, then I will start approving your posts.
