I don't feel like these things are a problem, i think its just the way I am. I do not feel like I want to go and seek help but I just wanted to get some opinions.
Firstly I have alot of fears and phobias. Some that affect daily life, such as refusing to get in lifts and not getting on a plabne for example. We cannot go o holiday and I cause alot of problems with the lift thing as we have a few small kids and we have to heard them upstairs, carry buggies etc...
Secondly these fears manifest frequently in dreams. I have nightmares about 4 times a week, always vivid and I always remember them.
I also panic about my children to the extent where I wont let anyone mind them unless theya re at my house, because I know my house is 'secure'.
Anyone elses house is unsafe, if I were to go anywhere I would just spend the whole time thinking they had opened the door and wandered out, been taken or run over etc..
I can't have them near water, not swimming baths, but lakes etc where the water is murky.
I have MAJOR anxieties bout being outside alone, what I mean by that is I wont go out by myself if its pat about 7pm, i never visit pubs, clubs places like that, never have done.
I went shopping the other day and my mum took me there but then she said I would have to get the bus back.
I was terrified.
I was sure someone would attack me, or shout things at me.
She ended up taking me home.
I'm scared of strangers in the street, i find it hard to talk to people.
I have no friends,
the few I do have, i basically push away... not returning phone calls because i find talking on the phone hard.,
i have low self esteem...
I could go on
