Hello sadanxiousguy98: Well... I can certainly relate to this. From my perspective, it's dangerous world out there. I pretty-much just keep to myself. I don't know if you watch the news on TV. But, if you do, that certainly doesn't help any. Of course, to some extent, this sort of fear tends to feed on itself. The more one isolates out of fear of the world, the more fearful the world comes to look. But then there's also that old saying: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you." So, from my perspective, it's a balancing act. Meditation can sometimes help with this sort of fear, as can getting plenty of exercise. And then, beyond that, I think it's mostly a matter of getting out there... working, socializing, perhaps doing some volunteer work to be of benefit to others, those sorts of things. I suspect you've heard all of this before. I don't know as there are any secret remedies you haven't heard of.

Anyway, I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.
