Things I Am Not Afraid Of

In battling Generalized Anxiety Disorder it is easy to be afraid of a lot of things. There are many fears that are common with many people which I don’t actually have. Here are some of them:

1.Flying

I don’t fear flying as I have never had any trouble boarding an airplane. I found myself in the several times I have flown I had it a very comfortable experience. I feel more at ease in an airplane than I do in a car and my anxiety has not popped up at all each time I have flown.(It may have something to do with the stats involving car accidents and airplane crashes).

2.Travelling

This is connected to one but I also have no fear of going to another place or country. As a matter of fact I love to do a lot more and would if time and finances would permit me. The curiosity in me wants me to explore other cultures and landscapes. My sense of adventure overtakes my anxiety here.

3. Animals

I don’t have a fear of most animals as my years of visiting the zoo and having cats at home have given a love of various creatures. I especially love domestic animals like cats and dogs and would have several pets if my wife wasn’t allergic to both. I am definitely an animal lover and especially love cats.

4.Expressing Myself

Even though I am a quiet introvert I have little or no trouble expressing myself when I need to. After all, I do write this blog and update it regularly. I also express myself verbally to people when I need to as well. I have to admit though I keep my anxiety under wraps for the most part.

These are just some things that I do have any fear but unfortunately my fears often overbalance my non[-fears a lot of the time.
