Fear!

[edgyboy]

Has anyone feared life in general? I mean just fear of fear? Fear of unreality, fear of losing control, fear of leaving the house, even fear in your house when unreality hits?

This is more of a mind full of thoughts to distort reality and scare the living crap out of yourself. While in an anxious state, I have thought about every single wonder in the universe. doing this makes me feel lost and insignificant. it also brings on panic.

Someone wrote on here about fear of eternity. Its the same line of thinking. I am still aware of the reality that we live in but it becomes distorted when you mix one with the other and then panic follows.

Familiar to anyone?

I can definitely relate to the fear of fear.   Throughout my experience with anxiety, I would get anxious about the possibility of experiencing anxiety.  In my opinion, that is one of the factors that can keep the 'anxiety loop' going round and round.  I believe that most of us go through this at one point and for me, counseling really focused on this particular aspect of it.  It taught me not to fight it and then not to fear it but instead embrace it and treat it like any other challenge that we face in life.  I by no means am trying oversimplify this, because it is complicated, but for me counseling gave me the knowledge to understand it and confront it.  Keep us posted!
