Irrational fear?

I have to stop and take a deep breath right now before I can leave my apartment.

Ridiculous? Its not that I am worried about being run over by a truck....that may make things easier actually...

I am worried about what might be waiting for me in the world this time. Or what might not be waiting. Wondering if this time is the time for...something...

After your post on playing your radio all night the gal up stairs might have you in her sights. Or the police might be waiting for arrest you. (Your Police Buddies) Or at least take you in for an 72 hour observation.

It is times like when I leave expectinga normal trip somewhere, and I end up single...One of these times, I have to leave my house and not come home single as well though, the quistion is, is it this time? But what is it out there that is waiting for me this time.

Just cause you are paranoid, does not mean they are not after you.

Expecting Godzilla around the next corner is irrational fear.

Worrying about what the world has in store for you? See your doctor and talk it over with him/her in detail. There is help.

What? More perscription medicine? Seems that everyone in this country who has a 'little problem' seeks a doctor for some pill that will solve anything...

This is in no way directed toward the OP. That rant just popped into my head after reading your post.

Depends on the "little problem" the individual choice and the doctor's advice. Doctors are capable of more than just writing prescriptions.

But if someone is at the point of asking for direction, better to talk to someone more qualified than his forum buddies.

sometimes putting it down on paper/computer or just talking to a friend that will listen gives you the opportunity to work it out for yourself which is the only way i see to truly work anything out. if your brain can't wrap itself around the concept, no matter how many times it's repeated, it's not going to make sense. same applies to working on cars... dad can tell me the same thing 500 times but until my brain wraps around it and comes to the same conclusion, it doesn't stick. anyway... to pay someone to care enough to listen is absurd in my book, giving you a false sense of someone caring. you don't learn by being coddled too and told it's ok, it's not your fault ever, you have deeply seated childhood issues, it's your parents fault, take this pill. the only way to get over fears is to work through them yourself and once you think through to the truth of the issue to ball up and make yourself stick to that truth rather than punking out and taking the easy drug filled route that americans so prefer nowadays.

but that's just me... i'm a hard ... tail ... who can't admit when she cries or when something hurts to anyone but myself and my trusty keyboard and a couple very very close lifetime friends on occasion. you'd think i'd have had a bad experience with a psychobabble bs dr but i've never actually been to one and have no intention of going. i don't like thieves or liars and pretending to care about someone for their money to me qualifies as both. *shrug*

as for being afraid of being alone (that's the way it reads to me) well, honestly, instead of worrying about what's going to happen which could lead to dreading it because worrying all the time sucks, how about trying to look forward to the unknown. my approach is to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised. so essentially if i accept that i'm going to come home alone yet again and go out for me, to have fun for myself, then if i do come home with a phone number or something then i can be pleasantly surprised and see where it goes from there and if i don't (which is usually the case), well, i went out to have fun for me. i have found that right about the time i give up on "looking" is abt the time something comes along even if it doesn't last forever. *shrug* but that's just me.

Exactly - if you are going home alone, you are setting your standards too high.

But if you are hinting at something deeper than that, please come clean.....with someone.

This comment is in no way directed at Jimmy, but I do agree with what you state here Bdox.

If these "people" don't seek professional help, ( ie prescription drugs and/or advice ) we all here see too well the consecenses of it.
