I know it's not real and I don't see anything and I walk around in the dark and don't really turn on any lights cause I don't care, yet I still feel fear.
This is pretty recent, within the last couple years.
I confront the fears yet I still "feel" frightened, but I think in my head I'm not, my body is disagreeing with me.

Hi. I think fear is part of Bipolar. I don't know what other people go through but I feel very ominous feelings all the time. I feel like I can sense the next big earthquake is coming. I get convinced that its about to happen any minute. But I am not preparing for it, I just know its coming. I can feel it in my bones. I feel ghosts, I feel like the bay bridge is going to crumble beneath me every time I cross it, and I feel fear. Tons of fear. But an ambivalent fear like the one you described.
I take anxiety meds. It helps me get across the bay bridge... but it doesn't fix it all the way. I have also tried various therapies to help with phobias etc.
Hope this helps
