Hi my name is Izzy and i am 16 years old, usually when there is a thunderstorm I am terrified. I am also scared of the Amber Alerts! I will usually go up to my room and watch a movie on the did player or watch Netflix on my PS4, so that I don't have to hear the Amber Alerts! I sometimes also will go under my covers and put my giant Fluffy headphones on my ears and watch YouTube videos till the storm is over or has calmed down, under the covers so I can't see or hear the storm. I'll also sometimes go in my parents room and snuggle up with them. My parents also will just let me go in their room and watch On Demand and recorded shows, so I don't have to see the Amber Alerts. I always close my blinds, or the blinds to whatever room I'm in, and have the lights on so I can barely see the loghtning! I hope this helped...

When I was a little girl I was so scared of storms and so was my mother. I remember laying in my bed with her and hearing rain I immediately started crying my mom clenched my hand and said its okay sweetie. I kissed her and she said that rain is just clouds crying tears of joy and thunder is God bowling. Lightning is God smiling ever since then I have been fascinated by storms. So when you are upset just think of other ways to imagine the situation and just so you know my mom and I are safe nothing can happen to you with a little water!

I am Syd and I have a huge fear of storms. I am 13 and started fearing storms when I was about 9. Right now there's a wind storm and it is scaring me so bad I don't want to go to school, but I am going on a family trip next week so I can't miss school. I have the biggest fear of wind. More than any other storm. I don't believe in global warming because I am afraid to. I hate this fear. I would rather have a less common fear. Right now I only have three fears and they are, claustrophobia, heights, and storms, and I would rather have 10 times that if they were less common then storms and heights are. During a storm I excuse myself from wherever I am and go to my room. I put an eyemask or something to cover my eyes, and plug my earbuds in to block out the sound. I have been searching for 4 years to find a cure and haven't found one. Sometimes I lie to myself saying "that was cool" and stuff like that. Sometimes it works for me. Also I will open my door during rain storms and just watch the rain fall and it calms me down.

I have the same fear I get really scared of bad storms iam scared now because it might get bad where I live it says on the weather channel only tablet showers and thunderstorms some storms might be severe and I am freaking out

I have a horrible fear of storms as well. I am 20 years old and I live in Ohio, not too many bad storms occur where I live but we do get a lot of warnings. My main fear is a tornado killing me. I know this is rare but my fear gets so bad that I will call off work if I know a severe storm is coming, and 99% of the time nothing happens at all and everyone thinks I am crazy and need to be on medication. I know what to do during storms and I understand them but when I am in the moment I just lose it and I have no idea what do to.
