Life is scary to me.
I am literally scared of everything!
Going out is scary and staying in my home is also scary.
Fear filled intrusive thoughts and images run through my head all the time!
Anyone else always scared or am I unique?
It’s so hard to deal with this.
I’ve felt this way the last couple months,
Its like I constantly have stage freight or something.
I’m sorry you feel this way too,
Has anything helped in the past?
I have a lot of irrational fears too. I manufacture a lot of my fears.
Nothing really eliminates my fears.
Depakote helps s bit.
I’m on this now.
I’m so scared and anxious all the time that I tremble. Today I was talking to a friend at work and my tremor in my hand was out of control. There was no reason for it. It’s just my baseline these days.
@GoldenRex @crimby @anon1517417
I’m sorry that you guys go through this.
Yes, I live in a constant state of fear/paranoia.
More so when I am outside, and in public.
I try and escape into the worlds of art and music as much as possible.
Art and music are healthy ways to cope!
Good for you @Montezuma!
Thank you @Wave! 
Yes, I find them much more healthy than other things I used to cope with it all.
Been there a lot, it’s hard not to be like this
I know how you feel. I’m a scaredy cat. Scared to drive, scared to work, scared to make any real connections, scared to get groceries, doctors, kids. You name it. I’m not living, I’m existing.
I’m sorry @ImaTeaRex and @Cici2!
I know what you mean by existing.
I’m doing the same @Cici2.
Is a voice doing this to you?
No @mike23 No voice is doing this to me.
The world is a vampire…
The truth is i’m scared all the time. distraction help sometimes. but this world is a scary place.
I was almost jumped at walmart at 7 am one morning…long story short the dude next to me had his hood up and was asking me if he could unload my groceries for me so I can give them money for a quart of oil. I said I couldn’t let someone load my groceries and if they could wait until I had delivered my groceries home I could bring them back some oil…they agreed…when I immediately went back they were gone…sudden fear grabbed me…if I had allowed them to come to my side of the car where my groceries were they could’ve tazed me or who knows what,maybe a knife involved more likely! anyways, that recently happened and it changed the way I go out now…also my nephew works at cysco food in colorado and recently when he got off his shift as manager there a friend of his came on the floor and was hit by one of the dock workers…he went to the office to report the incident and the guy who had hit him came in the office while his superiors were there and he stabbed and killed my nephew’s friend…stuck him in the neck. dead immediately…no wonder everyone’s scared…and then there’s the terrorists and the shooters…end of the world I think.
I’m so paranoid and anxious it’s kind of embarrassing to reminence on some of the things I’ve said and done because of it. Ruined a lot of close relationships, that’s for sure
I’m sorry @finally and @anon55713086.
@jukebox man that is scary!
Thank goodness your fine.
@Wave several years ago when I was on invega I lived in fears. At that time I was scared of almost everything! And then I switched meds to Amisulpride. Those fears were gone. Now I feel pretty safe and happy. So probably your meds are giving you fears?!
