If you were to identify your deepest fear, would it be total abandonment or total chaos, total loss of control?

Or something else?

My deepest fear is not being able to breath...When I was young I saw my grandmother die of lung cancer and the night she died the breathing was so irratic...I could feel every breathe....so scary for me.

Great question! HHmmm I think my deepest fear is without words. Its just a completely feeling of fear. It feels like the worse possible thing that could happen to you is just about too! At times its the fear of something happening to my kids or the fear of being attacked. I guess this are just symboyic of an earlier fear? A time when I felt as if I was being attacked by outside forces, not realising it was my own fear attacking me from within? Hows the biblical saying go? Thou I walk through the valley off death............

My deepest fear would be that I would become incapcitated and not be able to communicate or do anything for myself. To have to rely on someone else for total care.....gosh I would rather die (of which i'm not afraid of) than to be incapacitated in that way.

Is it possible to have only one *deepest fear*? I have more than one. The fear I experience from my obsessions and compulsions leads to total chaos and that in turn leads to losing control. There are a couple more I may add later on.

Sabau2-I couldn't figure out my deepest fear until I read yours-I now know what mine is. Needing people to survive. Been there, done that and damn near died (killing myself) because of it. I never, ever want to be totally reliant on anyone-ever. That's the worst thing I can think of.

Being Homeless. People finding out just how weird I really am.

[jacq10]

being alone. I've lost contact with too many people i loved ...

[snowflake_48888]

I hate being helpless.

My deepest fear is waking up tomorrow and going through another day feeling like this. But, I will try.

[biiv]

so so many... being dependent/alone/incapacitated when i get old.
being incapacitated/disfigured now (i know thats such a horrible thing to say )
being in a lot of pain.
being eventually rejected by everyone ive ever known.
waking up too late to the fact i didnt make the most of my life.
knowing that i irreversibly hurt someone.
finding out what the terror i sometimes feel is from.
being faced with my inmost thoughts and feelings.
losing my mum or my sister.
having a complete mental breakdown.
being unable to succeed in my career.
realising too late that ive never actually helped anyone or made life easier for them.
still feeling like this in 10/20/30 years.
thats all i can think of right now though im sure the list would go on if i thought about it.

[ally88]

I too have more than one...not being able to love is the worst thing that could happen to me. I also have the fear of being forgotten after I'm gone.

<font color="purple"> I have several deep fears that are equally intense..... Fire, losing control and reality, and feeling of not being able to breath are my top deepest fears..... </font>

[lemmkins]

i agree with Sabu2. i would hate to rely on another human for my needs to be met. i would rather die, than have to be a burden to another person.

Being caught in another tornado.

Being in a vitriolic verbal battle with someone. Yelling, hating, arguing, anger. I run from this always.

[Calm]

I'm adding to my previous post about deepest fears.

Being sexually assaulted again. I know if this were to happen again, it would completely destroy me mentally.

Having had a physical life threatening episode back in `82 that could have killed me or left me paralyzed, I fear the possibility of it happening again but leaving me next time totally physically handicapped and dependent on others for help.

To live out the remainder of my life and never conquering the mental health problems that impair my life daily.

That's enough for the moment!!!

Hurting someone physically when feeling Rage is another one.

[WinterRose]

I fear being unloved, rejected, abandoned.

[chichi]

my biggest fear is losing control over my mind especially now that I have experienced panic attacks and anxiety.

Mine would be total loss of control.

My deepest fear is that the darkness and evil will get me

Poverty and aloneness.

And that this (my life right now) is as good as it gets.
