im afraid of life. I'm afraid of change. I'm afraid to leave my job but I'm afraid to lose it. I'm afraid if good ng back to school and I'm afraid of never doing anything with my life. I'm afraid to date again but I'm afraid to be alone. I'm afraid of everything. What kind of life is this?

Sensitivehobolady I can absolutely relate. I've never fit in anywhere and have never had good self esteem except during mania

Kisses this may sound like a cliche but take one fear and break it down into steps. My fear is looking old, I know vain. Wrinkles are a fear but so what that's life. I had a psychologist that gave me a few cards that said "so what" on them. I placed them around the house. It helped a bit. Hugs kisses

I fear graduating and going back to work. I have had two really great careers but each time I was only able to work for 7 years in each job until I crashed and had to go back on disability. So I fear change, I fear going back to work in a year. But, my tdoc is wonderful and he always helps me through change. I do think my self-esteem was great but once having to leave my job I lost a lot of that. I feel like this disorder defines me sometimes and I hope to work through that.

I live in a constant numbness/existance. I fear if I ever feel again it will be overwhelming.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
