My agoraphobia I noticed came from the grief stage. Actually at one point it was claustaphobia, too at the same time. Eventually, though the claustaphobia was replaced by isolation which seems similiar. So, at one time closed and wide open spaces both were something I had to overcome. I would make myself sit outside for small intervals of time. Then, I would rake the leaves which gave me a purpose and a direction. Next, I built a fire to burn the leaves and as long as I focused on the fire I was okay. Focus, direction and purpose help me with it.  Nice to see you again.  . I love looking at fire. I find it so relaxing. I should be a Pyromaniac, it's a step up from me just being a maniac.

Rawrr_Girl; have you considered writing fiction? Stephen King has done very well turning his fears into fiction. My fear is heights, although I'm not troubled by flying. I get stressed when I have to drive over high bridges or on narrow mountain roads. I think it may have something to do with the steep angles of the landscape because it bothers me less if I'm driving over a flat surface like a river. It hasn't gotten any better over the years. I just have to get through it every time. No, I haven't. It sounds like a really cool idea though :D  . Never knew that about Stephen King. We learn something new everyday huh? :)

Glad there are forums to talk about stuff like this. Otherwise, we'd feel even more repressed with our fears.

I have a fear of heights for sure but my greatest fear is failure. In this economy the fear that I will bottom out is very real for me. Looking for good secure job at age 50 is truly overwhelming sometimes. It makes me worry about survival and what will happen if I get sick. I know the cure is to keep fighting and have faith in god but still it terrifies me.

If I have any type of phobia, I haven’t found it. Most of my fears I think are just basic. Fear of rejection, fear of painful death. Still fear of open spaces must be hard. If I had a friend that lives by, I would try to help them overcome their fears.

I've had it for ten years, so seeing as it's been for that long, I'm kinda just fed up of it. It's like having a glass wall infront of you. You almost get there, but there's that 'What if' thing, that has a bad habit of stopping me. You know, I really almost DO go outside, but then I could hear a fight from outside, or something else bad from outside, and the loud noise will just have me re-coiling. Loud noises seem to be a determining factor.

You don't want to let yourself down, yet you know you're fear may yet again take over your mind, today, tomorrow, the day after that, etc. We MUST keep faith that one day, we will overcome our fears. Otherwise, we may slip into that dead end of a black hole.

If I had a friend that lives by, I would try to help them overcome their fears. Believe me, this fear doesn't feel basic whatsoever. I wish it did. Most of our lives revolve around going outside, whether it be for shopping, or visiting people, etc. I want to try rid of this problem before it becomes any bigger. |
