Fear and communication

I have been talking to my T and to other "groups" / people here and it seems that communication is the recommended route to go. But to be honest the thought of communication with the other members of the "clan" is well freaky to say the least.

I have alot of fear the wells up when I think about it.
Fear that outsiders will think I am crazy.
Fear that they will respond.
... that they hold bad memories.
... that they will not like me.
... that they want to hurt me.

Just alot of fears. Some ratonal some not. Dose anyone else even understand these fears? I am not even sure I understand them.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, sometimes fears, they get a hold of us and simply run with us, it is like our fears even control us..

Yet fears, or feelings, are not facts.

It is hard but we have to take the reigns back in, realize as scray as it is, trust us if you can, we will not think you are crazy, many of us have been called that, and did not like it, we try to SUPPORT each other here, LOVE each other here, love the YOU deep down, way deep down.

It took me some time here at PC to trust, and trust completely, yet I have and it is a beautiful, beautiful thing

((((dianasclan)))) i know what you mean and understand, im dealing with the same thing right now and am not handling it well, there is all kind of fears with the thought of the communication route, there is fears i didnt even knew i had or even existed, maybe we can just both take a deep breath and slow down and just send each other hugs and thoughts and get through it. that is if you want to you never know it might help all of us just knowing there is someone who is going through it now, even though im sure lots on here has already been to this point.

It does help alot to know that someone else is going through this too. Thank you for the hugs. I need them very much. I am pretty good at accepting virtual hugs but not good at accepting real ones. So for now I will take a deep breath and simply say ok I will think about getting to know my insiders for now that is all I can do.

Thanks again,
Diana

Fear is so common for so many people. I used to have a lot of fear. What helped me to overcome my fears were to face them. They are always smaller when you stand up to them. They are huge when you run from them and feel much scarier.

Self-understanding is the way to go to get better plus lots and lots of problem solving. I wish you luck Diana and will support you here along the way!

tyvm and glad i could help a bit and i agree with you i accept all the virtual hugs i can get and especially right now, we dont like real hugs either
