Scared of Being Scared


Posted by McMeemai on November 26, 2008 at 01:04:42:

Hello everyone! I haven't posted here for over a year now but I have been continuously reading the posts here when I need encouragement.
Like right now, I am in a rut. I have started having my anxieties again. I believe if I only learn how to relax, or learn relaxation I would be okay. Also, if I can accept that I have insomnia & it is not so bad. & If I can truly believe that I really don't care whether I sleep or not. Right now I am scared of me being anxious of not being able to calm myself. I am scared of being scared. I wish I had a magic cure on how to right my way of thinking. It's so twisted I don't know how to reason with myself anymore.

I have a few questions which would really reassure me.
1. How do you deal with the anxieties?
2. Is there an effective way to treat it?
3. Or a medication for it?

Right now I am taking temazepam but not daily & it's not working for me. I have to overcome my fears, it just overwhelms me so much that I don't know whether & when I will get out of this rut. I wish sometimes all the people in the same situation would just live in one big house where they could encourage one another & it would just be so nice to know that these people are going through the same things as I am.
