How do I stop living in fear?
I don't understand why I feel this way. There is no logical reason for it. But I'm afraid all the time. I'm afraid of people, of what they think of me, I'm afraid no matter what I do people find fault in me, Afraid I'll let down the few people I'm close to. I'm afraid of people period. Because of this fear I have no life. My life consists of go to work, come home, eat supper, go on the computer, and then go to bed. I'm letting fear rule my life and because of that I don't really have one. I'm sick of living in fear and I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions would be welcome.

To stop living in fear....?
over the summer, I started getting panic attacks. Ever since, i became so scared all the time about everything. For example whenever I get a headache, I think that I'm getting brain cancer, I'm afraid that if my parents haven't come back home, I think they got in an accident. I can't sleep because I always think that whatever happens in a scary movie will happen to me... I'm overly cautious about everything and I get scared of the smallest thing..that triggers my panic attacks, how should I cope with it? And what are ways to make me think of happy thoughts instead of negative ones?I already have medication but I'm tryingg not to get hooked on it, I just need tips until I can get an appointment with a behavioral therapist.

How do I stop living in fear?
I have been diagnosed with HIV for over 20 years. I learned of my illness at a time when there was only AZT for treatment which only had worked for approximately 2 years. I was only 21 and attending college. At that point the nightmare began as my life turned from planning my future to planning the best way to face the end of my life. Since then, I can only look back and see years of emptiness, fear, escape and hopelessness. Drugs became my means of escape as I had to somehow let go of goals and dreams. I have developed Borderline personality disorder along with Complex PTSD post traumatic stress disorder recently and on many medications to control both my mental and physical illnesses. I am in therapy 3 times a week, on a LOA from work, doctor visits,still escaping and live from day to day without planning. My fear of dying has become my fear of living. How can I turn this around? If I was to know 20 years ago that this what I worried about missing, I could have relaxed.

How can i stop living my life in fear?
Today i was able to realise a lot with the help of an advice of a friend about this guy. But then it came to the point where it also came to be about my past and i. I was dysthemic for little over 2 years and it ended about 10 months ago. However sometimes i push people away especially last year in school. It's hard to get people to understand dysthemia and its not something i like to bring up when getting to know a person unless they're already a good friend. Some people i just can talk to and become easily friends with because i trust them better. With others its not always the same. I feel this way because when i started to become dysthemic i felt people who i cared about were leaving me and i just feel this compares to the friends i make today sometimes, that im scared they'll leave too. My mom doesn't take this seriously, and always says she'll get me a shrink, but never does. I think she's scared to admit about my problem. What should i do?

Does anyone else live in constant fear of something happening to their child? How can I stop this anxiety?
My only son is 18 now, and it seems to me that all his life I have almost been unable to relax and just enjoy parenting because I love him SO much I am scared of losing him. From meningitis and cot death, through school bus trip accidents, and now night club stabbings and car accidents. I know I sound completely over the top anxious...I am I have never really told anyone else how I feel inside, but I it is constantly in my thoughts and colours everything I do..I never feel I can relax unless I know where he is, and he is safe. I am NOT an overbearing parent he knows I worry, but not to the extent I do, and it certainly does not curtail his life. I just feel I am living on a knife edge waiting for something to happen.Wow, thank you SO much for you responses. I am not alone. And it really has nothing to do with recent publicity Madeleine etc I have been feeling like this for 18 years. I guess it just comes as part and parcel of being a parent.
