Warm hugs missy. I hope it passes soon. I felt something akin to terror most of the day but thankfully it's eased now. I hope it does for you too.

Im sorry i have no sugguestions but i wanted u to know ur not alone. We ate here for u. Hugs.

I reach out to others for courage just like you've done, lilmiss. You don't have to face fear alone. We're with you.

Run. I go where there's Happy Things or Happy People. and blend until the fear is gone.

(((missy))) what you did here, lil sister xo i find myself stuck in freeze pretty often until i can unstick and get myself to a friend who understands and break out of it - call that friend or come here - call my counselor.

Echoing Lilly Potter.... I call a friend to talk. Or... drop by someone's place for coffee / tea.

I come here. I write too much on y journal. I hide in fleece blankets. Hugs.

Hugs lil missy! A bit late but agree it helps to talk. Sometimes it helps for me to spend a little time focusing on my breathing “1in, 1out, 2 in, 2out.” I suddenly felt terrified Saturday night because I was sleeping with my bedroom door open, even though the house was locked up. Closing and locking my bedroom door, wrapping in blankets, holding my Chewbacca doll helped. Don’t care if it seems odd, whatever works... Big Hugs!

Thank you guys so much for your support & some good ideas

I meant to reply sooner but I just moved & I had a couple days with issues getting online

I’m going through a lot & it warmed my heart to see what you guys wrote

I have a lot of changes going on & my health issues & all that but I’m trying my best
Even if trying is all I got well then that’s what I’m gonna do :)

Gentle hugs to everyone <3

Big hug...… Good for you getting moved.... I hope you'll be happy in your new home.... xoo

Thank you Suncloud <3

Hey lilmissy, i too am late here, havent been on much lately. First triple hugs of support. Secondly, when im afraid, i sing. When I start im usually singing teary eyed blues but then im angry at getting scared and instart singing angry empowering songs and by the end of it im songingnhappy make me smile songs and then im freaking exhausted and i take a nap lol

In my experience most dudes hide their fears, its not yet acceptable in our society but
a man has a choice.To follow the herd, or allow myself to to accept it all.
I only feel afraid when I forget that I am a part of a Whole. So I try to see both sides of the world, and this lessens fear. I try to remember I'm not special, everyone has fear, its only human you know. Men need to explode their other dimensions.
Fear stops that process. I try not to scare myself and I avoid scary situations. The best is to be in a group of men who want to express all emotions and empathy.
Hope that helps.
Fear brings anger to a mans lips.
