I have experienced similar feelings...aka: "Fear of the Unknown"?
My worst fears r/t separation anxiety I grew up with...I call it "The Mean Reds" In the book "Breakfast at Tiffanys'" by Capote; Holly is asked what she means when she says she has the "Mean Reds".

She replies: "My dear, "the blues" are when it's raining, or you're getting fat or something..."The Mean Reds" are when you're afraid of something, but you don't know what it is you're afraid of; only cure for me, is to jump a cab and go to Tiffanys'--I mean, nothing bad can happen to you in a place like that; can it?"

Must feel "safe" there......let's go!!!!! smiling....feel free to pm me?

"The Mean Reds"---"Fear of the Unknown" & "Change" is always "unknown"******I know(pun) them well----hugs---theo

OH, and upon careful thought...hello Feticeira! To me, and to anyone experiencing any sort of paralyzing fear; whether one labels it "legitimate" or not, it is just as "legitimate" as living on the streets with no food to eat.

(Akin to emotional/mental pain vs. physical pain...both are relevant, both serious all "legitimate"! No way to delineate betwixt them all...all need kind care.)

It is paralyzing, overwhelming, and, it is necessary to overcome in the basic skill of "survival"...it is no more difficult than the others. I know this type too, all the same to me!...been there, done it. pax----theo
