Does Any of These Sound Familiar When You Feel Scared?
- You find yourself avoiding certain places or situations because the thought alone makes you nervous
- Your body reacts strongly when faced with what scares you, maybe your heart pounds, your palms sweat, or breathing becomes difficult
- People tell you “it’s not that big a deal,” but they don’t understand how real and overwhelming it feels to you
- You’ve noticed your fear is affecting your functions in daily life, relationships, work performance, or social life
- You’re simply exhausted from the constant battle with your own mind
We all feel afraid sometimes. But when the fear becomes overwhelming, doesn’t make logical sense, and stops you from living your life fully, you might be dealing with a phobia. These intense fears can quietly build walls around your potential, rob you of life’s joyful moments, and leave you feeling constantly on edge.
