I'm the queen of irrational, un identified paralyzing fears. As most everyone knows I'm supposed to have moved into my outlaws last week. Hasn't happened.
I'm supposed to tow my Pathfinder with the rental truck. I was a paralyzed blithering irrational fear driven person for about four days. Couldn't figure the irrational fear. Decided to write about how I felt and why. I discovered that many years ago, a boyfriend of mine and I were driving back from MI with his mustang. Something happened to the engine of the truck and spewed an oily substance on the pavement. We were on a curved access ramp when this happened. The towed Mustang started fishtailing violently and transferring the movement to the truck. By some miracle my boyfriend at the time got everything under control and stopped both vehicles.
My irrational paralyzing fear came from this event. I had forgotten about it, but my subconscious had not. I kept having visions of my towed vehicle fishtailing and me rolling the rental truck and the towed vehicle.
I did some thought process and diagraming the events and my irrational fear subsided to a regular fear. I'm still afraid, but I'm doing it later today.
Sometimes thinking about the why helps tame the irrational fear.
Good lick!
