Hi everyone 
I have problems with fears of various things and phenomena... I know intellectually that there is nothing real about these fears, but I can't help it... I am taking treatment and I hope that I can just speak out here about the painful things that are happening to me.
Thanks for understanding...

It's weird how busy the amygdala gets. I suppose (and I'm no expert) it's connected to so many other brain parts, it can't always explain what the actual problem is (or indeed if something is an actual problem). It tries though. Tries in world that keeps manufacturing "future shock" (and etc). It's actually amazing it adapts as well as it does. Still, we can help them out and probably should.

Hi AnneR
Glad your getting help with your fears. Facing what is real and what is hypothetical is something i went through...which i believe was brought on by a stressful situation. Identifying it and dealing with it often leads to controlling the thoughts and making life a bit more clearer. It is scary but don't let it take over your life.
