What are you most afraid of and or anxious about and do you handle it and how?

Answer 1

terrified of fatal car accidents.as our area gets more and more crowded,everyday there seems to be more and more fatalities.ive been hit head-on(broken ribs) by a drunk driver,and we have quite a few near-misses-drivers weaving in-and-out,doing all sorts of insane manuevers,barreling down residential streets where children are playing unnatended-where are the parents?at a nearby apartment complex,toddlers play near the road on rthe edge of the complex,the parents are inside!and its around a blind turn-it terrifies me,im afraid one of the kids will run out and get hit!!!we recently had a musician who did all sorts of charity work,and several similarly sterling charactors,killed by drunken,unliscenced drivers.(not that it would be ok if a nasty person were killed!) i wake up in the middle of the night and feel sick with worry.i was a widow once,young.i dont want to go thru it again.im getting more and more worked up over the driving thing.i dont want to take anxiety meds,because nothing else scares me,and i hold a job,am happy in my family/friends,and life in general.but the people cutting us off,etc. scare me.its like people are driving insane! i thought it was just me getting nutty,but i spoke to my friends and my mom,and my brother,who was hit by a college student and had his car totalled recently,and they all assured me-THEY FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY.this is raleigh,a small city,whose exponential,recent growth,just cant keep up with the floods of people choking the roads.its like moving new york citys traffic to poughkeepsie-just no room for all these cars ! i m not handling it well.i feel sick whenever i get into the car.

Answer 2

Being alone is my fear- I deal with it by realizing that human connections are not the only form of comfort in not feeling alone. Animals give me the most comfort and companionship. I was living in my mini van a few years ago and very alone... I discovered a field mouse had taken up residency in the warmth of the drivers seat and was eating off of one of my moon pies. Most people would find a way to exterminate it, not I. I was able to coax the little guy out of the seat at night and share whatever tidbits I had with it. This took up alot of spare time I had to dwell on my loneliness and misfortune. I was very thankful for the little friend I made when there wasn't any others around to fill the empty space. I have learned to be more at ease and thankful in lonely times and not to be so noticably lonely for the human vultures to spot me and become their target. Maybe the mouse was a Guardian Angel?

Answer 3

I am most afraid of being humiliated or embarrased in public. Like today I was walking down the street trying to look cool with my sunglasses and model walk and then I tripped up the stairs it was so embarrasing. The way I delt with it was I just laughed and laughed and the other people who laughed at me. because i admit it is funny to see someone trip or some other embarrassing thing.

I'm most afraid of my pants falling down in public places. I wear a belt and tighten it up real good.
