Fear

Closed spaces are scary because you're afraid you won't be able to get out...

all of those... :-)

I know Dawn and it was not easy, believe me it wasn't there where times I did not think I would make it, times I thought I would not survive but I focused and I was determinant to make it, specially because my Ex always said I could never make it alone I proved him wrong, but not just that I have had many fights in my Live I was not scared as such of the risks any more I had nothing left to loose, apart from my mind Dawn I know what you are going through believe me I do when you are ready swallow the fear and stand up to it all Sweet, it took me 6 months to get the courage but once I started I did not back of, not with the threats he made, the things he was doing, nothing stopped me instead it made me more determinant to get out of it, no more abuse and all that It is not easy Girl and you have to be strong and keep the Children involved as such, but no bad wording about either of you or him We are all here with you Dawn, if I lived closer I would be there going through it with you by letting you talk and think about it

but you are past all that and I am not

I'm thinking that 2 1/2 years of thinking about it plenty!

NO. Not me, absolutely not. I'd much rather be alone than stay in an unhappy situation. I'd rather split up, get with the wrong person and be happy for a week, than never be happy again...

zandi you can also be old and in a bunch of people you do not know,and really did not want to know and still be lonely. sometimes I do so wish I was back in an apartment with my son w orking again, and doing for myself as I was alone while he was at work and we both were computer ners, but he was there in the apartment so I was not lonely. here I often feel lonely but my son comes to see me and my friend Nelda emails me most every day, so its not so bad now.zandi when that time comes prepare ahead and get into some things that will keep you with other people, and also you can always rent out a room too, just do not shut yourself off from friends.

hi dawn that is just the way I feel but cannot do that til my son gets a job then I will be out of here. there is lonely and there is alone, big difference.

It's been swollen for over a week,goes down a bit over night but not by much. It's only the left foot and ankle. My right ankle looks a little swollen but nothing compared to what is going on with my left one. And of course I go online and I see it can be anything from heart disease to cancer...geez! My anxiety is now kicking in to high gear and me and my daughter are home alone so my fear of her having a seizure is in high gear too. Living in fear SUCKS!

it just started swelling? yikes...

Yep it does. Hope you figure it out and it's nothing serious!

Earthquakes? hugs back....

I've been through enough of those for one lifetime!

By all means, YES! Had forgotten in spite that there was another one (smaller) two nights ago.

He wouldn't do that intentionally, but yes, I can see it could happen. THAT is possibly a grounded fear, but one which you, with all your wisdom, could overcome, or at least minimise.

No, but HE might mess them up, that is another fear...

You're right, he wouldn't intentionally, but he isn't always in control of himself...

all those things...

hi dawnald put in a good word for me with Paul too, okay? he he ha ha. I would like to be in my own room with out anyone tellingme to go to bed at ten or elven and I would not get up at six. he he he.

Dear Paul, sent half of that to my friend Patsie. Thanks!!!

I'd like to be a lady of leisure... Dear Paul McCartney - do you have a spare million dollars lying around? lol

Dark doesn't bother me unless it's total dark, and scary insects only bother me if they are too close to me.

I used to be really afraid of being alone. Not so much any more...

Hmmmm...

I'm with you on the first three.

tenchu!

i worry about mine a lot too!

Thanks for clearing that up. I have not watched many movies in about fifteen years or so. My big sister loved to teach me songs that I was barely old enough to sing, long before I was old enough to sit through the movies. I sang this when I was three or four. At five I sang "Moon River" and "Catch a Falling Star", but I diverge. Dawn, you will conquer your fears, and you will walk through one day at a time. Sometimes with your heart pounding, as if it is a tight rope, or a long dark tunnel. You can't go around it, you can't go over it, you just gotta go through it.

The King and I - very familiar, but I'm into musicals... Sadly, I can't whistle...

Yeh. I guess it is a bit of a catch-22 situation. You can only control it if you embrace it, but it is better not to embrace it with the idea that you are going to control it! _Derek

first thing that came to my mind was "embracing uncertainty"... lol guess I'm a wee bit of a control freak!

think of back in the old days when people moved far away and never saw their loved ones again!

You are so nice!!!! Too nice people are often taken for granted. But its a pleasure knowing you. :)

What??? They didnt have airlines then? Now thats News to me. Seriously, that is something we never thought Dawn - Julius Ceasar, Alexander the Great, Marco Polo. I suspect they were not loved enough or were nagged too much. :) Zed do your loved ones nag you? :)

Sorry about that, Aunt.. I wish my parents would live to a real, ripe old age and will always be happy. They are the best parents ever.. And I'm sure you are a very good and awesome parent too, Aunt V..

Hopefully the undesirables will go first...

Amen. :)

good one!

I am inclined to disagree there biswa. I think the hurt linked to ego can be overcome with understanding the truth, but the hurt that has no logic to it is absolutely ego less, and virtually a pleading in front of god asking him how could he in all his fairness allow this. Where is the ego in that?

Well, thanks. Nobody has the ability to hurt us. Its our ego that hurts us and makes us believe that the culprit is somebody else. God bless you

frogs?

Yes literally im afraid of frogs any kind, i just cant stand the sight of any frog, makes me want to run away or i want to just disappear when i see one. Funny but its true i even want to seek professional help just because of this fear of mine
