I made an account to reply to this because this is a very touching story. People come up to me and ask me for help all the time. And i wanted to share some ideas with you because i feel that this may help you. You said your scared of going out in public? Well, i was scared of the dark. Not just scared of the dark, the things in the dark also which i couldn't see. And i got over this fear by putting myself in the fear. I went into a cemetery at night and even though i was scared i told myself not to give in because it would only make me weaker. And then i thought of an idea. I said to myself... everyone has fears, and there will be someone who is also scared of the dark and the things in it, And if your both in the dark at the same time... you are both scared of each other. So what i tried to mentally put into my mind is... if i was to not be scared and not fear them and just let them fear me, i will be stronger then them. And eventually over time i got so used to being in the dark i attually enjoyed it and started to just conjure my fear. What you need to do is simple. Find somewhere to run to. say outside your house theres a lamp post, run to it and then run back to your house. Keep doing this untill you eventually start to walk it... then you have already made a bit of progress. Then you can try walking to the shop. And once your in the shop... to buy something and talk to the person serving you. Then you have achieved so much just from doing that. I know fighting a fear is hard... but if you dont it will consume you like it has done to you already. That is why its even harder for you to beat this. You must of heard of the saying "what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger" This applies to this... going outside wont kill you if your careful, and setting yourself little challenges to try beat this will be good for you... even if it makes your heart race. When i was reading your story i felt sorry for you. Not because your scared of going out in public, because you let a fear consume you. And the fear you feel has beaten you. Im also writing because the song you described was very good... and i respect the way you told everyone your feelings even though you felt like people might pity you. Just push yourself and you will succeeded. Good Luck. |
