My worst fear is getting an episode.
Being tortured until the end of my life.
mines, no life after death
Have no peace and pleasure in life.
My worst fear is finding myself in poverty again. I grew up in it and it was horrible. My second worst fear is losing my insight and not recovering it. I do not wish to be trapped in psychosis ever again.
I’m changing mine to having no peace of mind.
That when my husband dies and I have to live with my currently 77 year old mother or my age late 40s sister, they will die before me and I’ll end up on the street with no insight.
Going from the fire into the fireplace when I die and never seeing my loved ones again
A couple days ago I would have said water or death.
Now I fear being cut off from the only community I belong to.
I fear being muzzled like a dog.
I fear my friends.
I fear people who aren’t my friends.
I fear authority.
I fear the thoughts I’m having are getting darker and darker.
I fear the void in my life will consume me and I’ll be lost.
I fear being alone and unheard.
I fear going to the hospital about my symptoms because I fear being further restrained.
I fear my blood pressure is far too high right now.
And I also fear whales.
I have nightmares about them touching my feet when I swim.
You don’t sound like yourself @Charles_Foster . If your symptoms are flaring up you should get help. Sooner is better than later.
I hope you’re going to be ok.
Thank you.
But right now,
I’m embracing the darkness because being unwell makes me sick to my stomach with anxiety which makes me lose weight.
So, maybe I’ll be thinner.
being tortured to death, slow death, agony and horror…almost came true when we had an intruder that knew we were home when he tried the window at 4 am…I had just got up and banged on the blinds and he went away…the screen was pulled out so I know it was real.
All I have to fear is fear itself.
I fear worshipping Roosevelt. No one ever hears about how he treated German and Japanese Americans while in office.
I fear dying. I’m just not ready.
My worst fear used to be losing my child. Then it happened. You could say I no longer have any fears now.
That’s very brave of you @jukebox .
My fears are same as you I reckon and I have some other ones too.
This is very unhealthy thinking. You’re beautiful the way you are.
I understand. I also understand that with the advent of the internet anyone can come up with dirt on any great man from Churchill and his racism to Ghandi sleeping with underage female relatives.
It’s just that, with the famous, the good-bad pendulum has a lengthier swing.
