Hi everyone im so glad im not alone on this one i have been frightened of thunderstorms since i was seven years old when i saw a house struck and living with this fear has been horrible i track storms coming our way i keep going to the weather on the computer to see what is going to happen then i live in total fear till it arrives .. nightime is the worst when you cant see the clouds and if it is moving away ... it rumbled last night which put me on high alert i had no sleep just waiting for it to happen it didnt ...i listen to very loud music on my headphones when it arrives but im so scared its like a huge panic attack taking place my heart thumps i sweat i panic and i feel like a trapped rat in a hole that cant get out ....
I have known the time i have raced down to my local supermarket when i was on my own to be near other people and feel safe in a huge building with no windows ..
I know how everyone feels i even downloaded a real thunderstorm on itunes so i could listen to it i wondered if that would help but im afraid it didnt ..
Its not as if you can get on the computer when it is here cause everything electrical goes off ...so it is a case of feeling very very alone ... Caz..
