Phobias

Phobias can cause anxiety symptoms; it is a strong irrational fear of something that poses no real threat.

Phobias can be devastating to say the least! I personally know what affect having a phobia can do to the mind and how it can control your life and it will if you allow it! The best way to get over phobias is to face them! The very thing we are afraid of is the very thing that holds the power to unlocking our freedom. Yes, the thought of facing your biggest fear may seem horrifying but which is better? Facing it and overcoming it or allowing it to continue to control you? Phobias come in many forms. When we have phobias we tend to trust our emotions over our realities and this stops our forward motion in life.

My fears included exposure, confinement, and doing anything outside of my normal routine. The more I listened to my negative thoughts, the greater the toxic reaction in my body became. I would start to get hot and then my heart would start to race and before I knew it. I just wanted out of the situation! I would go out to eat at restaurants with friends and order the same old things because I was afraid of having an allergic reaction to foods that I had not consumed before. I would go through this whole mental process: Okay that looks good and it looks like it tastes wonderful! I think I’ll try it…Well, maybe not. It may have something in it that could close my throat up and kill me! After about two minutes of this type of negative self-talk, I had fully convinced myself to stay the course I knew was safe. Then there was the fear of exposure - I did not want anyone to see me. I loved to stay behind the scenes and I really had no desire to be in the spotlight. I remember writing my first book. After I gave it to the publisher, I lost it! I started to have anxiety attacks - my blood pressure was higher than normal and I found myself back in the hospital. I thought I was over having these attacks but there I was, back in the same predicament.

I decided to talk with God and he began to reveal many things. I began reading through my old journals and noticed a pattern. I kept writing about how I should not talk or tell anything about what happens at home. As an addict you never let anyone see you use (drugs) because they could not prove you where an addict unless they saw you - everything else was simply speculation. I began to notice the pattern of secrets I kept. I wrote my first book because I wanted to help others who were drug addicted, abused and afraid to come out of that lifestyle. I truly did not care if anyone heard my story, however, I never knew how much unveiling these things about myself would affect me.
