Fear is that thing that keeps you up there on that other plateau. Fear is that thing that keeps you closed down, and quite frankly, alone.

I know i am a bit behind in commenting but...bygones.

I now have learned to see fear as a motivater. Surfers train under water while carrying rocks to increase their lung capacity and face down what can kill them. So when the circumtances arise they can cope because they have trained their mind and body. I am starteing to see my panic/fear the same way. In times of calm i try to understand what made my act out/panic. then break down my behaviour and face what made me do this or that. Then when that situation arises again i am better able to cope with it......

I like that quote...

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I think that makes perfect sense & hope that others will take your advice. I remind myself that fear will not hurt me. That I won't die from it. That it will make me stronger. It took years to accept all these things. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan
