@amiablePeace7
my fear is being alone begin I don't know how to cope with it because I'm always with somebody
@colorfulStrawberry3048
Being alone can feel scary when you're not used to it. Know that if it happens you can always come here, it is not the same as having someone irl but it can help to feel connected.
@amiablePeace77 thanks:)

What is your biggest irrational fear and how do you cope with it, what helps?
My biggest fear is being alone. Although I have a small group of friends and a loving boyfriend my fear is no one being there for me. What helps is opening up when around them and not saying nothing when asked if I am ok or if something is bothering me.
@pamharley003
Pam, I reckon it will help you but also your boyfriend and friends to hear about your honest feelings, those are the ones who who have you close to their hearts and really want to help.
My biggest irrational fear is loosing control of my mental health and being put into a hospital, against my will.
@yzzil
I can relate to that fear yzzil, one of the reasons I keep on doing brain training and what I believe is most important, creating a harmonic life with the least amount of stress.
The biggest irrational fear I have is being abducted by aliens (being taken against my will basically) or experiencing a phantom pregnancy. I cope by distracting myself with healthy media (YouTube videos or Tumblr).
@plantnymph
Those are terrible fears, glad you decided to watch healthier media. I find some media can plant the seeds of unwelcome scary thoughts in our minds.
I had to think on this one lol. But I think maybe either getting a needle in the eye or getting stuck in a tight space.
@Goldcherry2113
That's aa awful thought, sometimes our minds can really scary us. Hope it will never happen.
I would have to say snakes in a vent 👀
My way of coping with this irrotational fear is to stay away from vents that are not secured and pipes that do not have barriers on them
@Onlyonefollower
That's scary, just remembering a movie about it, showed me better not to watch that kind of movie (long time ago though).
There’s a movie!!? 👀 Thank goodness I haven’t heard of it lol
@Onlyonefollower I think it's called snakes on a plane
Oh goodness!
My biggest fear is feeling lonely because I don't have any friends and to cope up with this situation I write diary entry and do sketching or play with my pet.
@calmPond4563
Loneliness can become scary for many people, glad you joined us and I hope you will find friends here. I like how you deal with your thoughts by writing into a diary and pets are such great companions. What kind of pet do you have?
My biggest fear is oversleeping. In order to conquer it, I take deep breaths when I’m anxious, I take meds, I set alarms, and I listen to hypnosis at night—but not for the whole night. If I listen to hypnosis for an hour or two that’s perfect, but if it’s longer then I’m prone to oversleeping. To motivate myself to wake up early, I tell myself I’ll have enough time to get a coffee.
@TheJenInBlack
Great that you found ways to deal with your fear of oversleeping. Good that you take your time after waking up, I find it's so much nicer to embrace the morning in peace then having to rush.
My biggest irrational fear is being embarrassed or humiliated. I’ve been bullied a lot through elementary and middle school. It made me afraid to talk to others and afraid to be vulnerable. I still can’t look into people’s faces for long but its only my second day on this app and the growth path helped a lot.
@nint3ndh03
I am so sorry to hear that you've been bullied at such a young age already, hugs. Fear of embarrassement or humiliation are surely on the lists of effects of bullying. Glad you joined our site and I hope you will continue to find support here. 
@amiablePeace77
HI Ami thank you so so so much for this great thoughtful check-in. Honestly again-are you in my daily life
What is your biggest irrational fear and how do you cope with it, what helps?
Not being open to accept someone's inpt on solving issues/problems My 2nd job is at an animal shelter. Lately we have been under staffed or people staying with passion. We recently had a team meeting in order to solve issues and make sure everyone is moving forward together. I added to big issues that needed to be addressed WITH a solution even I was willing to take on. Well the oss was not open to the feedback and resolution and was stuck into old traditions and ways. How I handled it. Not react or get mad but to always know "I can only be responsible for what I do and for what I can do"
@RumpleSteeleSkin
So sorry to hear about the situation in the animal shelter. It must have been very frustrating for you seeing that things need change, offering a solution and nothing happens. I admire your thinking "I can only be responsible for what I do and for what I can do". I hope that your proposal will be reconsidered.
@amiablePeace77
thank Ami
