Do you have any irrational fears? Is it part of bp? I have a serious fear of flying. The only way I can do it is to take alittle Xanax 30 min. before take off. I also fear the freeway. I am a nervous wreck if Im not driving. I cant drive at night, because it sends me over. Anyone?

develop an irrational fear of mice! Up until
that time rodents had never bothered me at all.
All of a sudden I couldn't cross a street for
fear that I might see a mouse. If I walked out
to my car I was afraid a mouse might be hiding
behind my tires. It was a really miserable
time. All of a sudden it just stopped as
quickly and mysteriously as it had begun. Mice
are no problem for me now.
Strange, huh? It's not a BP-thing, not for me. It's just a Harriet-weirdo thing. :)
grandmother, for example, lived in terror of 'wheels unwinding & flying off the car' (ending in catastrophe, naturally) for example...seismic level of anxiety about this! Not terribly rational, of course x
I was able to clear up my past and move into the future and not have those oafter I stopped doing things that made me scared. I went to work. Lived within my means. Didnt not hurt people with words or actions. I took responsibility for what I did and cleaned up the messes I made.
Life became so much better adn those fears left.

Now I have fears of leaving the house sometimes or going places where I might run into people I don't like or just people in general.
I don't fear the dark or stuff like that. I live for the night. I don't go anywhere but outside. I guess I'm like a cat.

For a long time there, I had a fear of falling asleep, in case I woke up blind.
When I was almost asleep, i'd jump up with a start and turn the lamp on to make sure I could still see.
i fear im worse then i think i am. i worry that im food for something. i worry that im a slave. i worry that people arent really there. i worry im the only one.
i dont see or hear things though, its all just thinking to much.
