Interesting topic. Yes - I've felt, and for some issues, still feel scared about getting better. I think it is the unknown about how to handle life differently. I "know" my current way of living and what I can do to get myself through situations. I don't yet "know" if I will successfully handle life if I can't fall back on what currently is. This is likely due in part to have grown up with a lot of pressure to succeed. A form of perfectionism, I guess.
