Hi Everyone:
A friend of mine introduced me to this website and I am even paranoid about what to write. I have lived with fear most of my life. Some things have changed for the good but I still struggle with many things. I used to be an extreme people pleaser because I was terrified of rejection or ridicule and I had a hard time speaking in a group because I was afraid of sounding stupid.
That can still be a problem sometimes but it is much better.
The one fear I can't seem to deal with is the fear of losing the people I love. My husband and I manage a resort and when he goes for propane for the barbecues, if I hear an ambulance while he is gone, I am terrified that the tanks blew up and killed him. My children and grandchildren say I am way to overprotective. I also, cannot handle fighting. If two people get in a loud argument I will go right into a panic attack, with heart palpations and dizziness and hyperventillating.
I don't want to make this too long so that's enough for now. I have read some of the articles and they have helped but I know talking to my friend has helped even more so hopefully I can make friends here and won't get too paranoid about talking with others about this.
Thank you,
