Help, when I was a young girl probably age 12 I was attacked by a German Shepard and ever since I have been afraid of large dogs and large animals in general . I used to horseback ride now I get all nervous when I'm around horses and have to ride them i tense up when I was a kid I used to be good at it and love it . I know I have general anxiety probably related to being bipolar and having ADD but how do I get rid of these fears ? All my family and my boyfriends family has large dogs and I get anxious every time I know there is a social event , I'm naturally uncomfortable in social situations because I always feel different and out of place and right now I'm not working for health reasons so its hard to explain to your family who has there life together why you don't work . If anyone has advice they can offer on how to get past your fears or why they arise in the first place it seems as I get older I'm afraid of more things I would greatly appreciate it
