I have been feeling so much stress lately. I've tried all my tricks to ease stress, but nothing seems to be working. I've had this feeling like I am paralyzed inside. This morning I realized that I wasn't feeling stress. It is fear. I am terrified. I feel like I'm alone out on the sea, paddling with no sense of direction. Does anyone else have this paralyzed feeling? How do we cope with fear?
With that said, you need to deal with the root of the fear. Often fear surfaces but has nothing to do with the experience at hand. We are triggered and our nervous system responds.
Find some friends you can confide to. I found this also helped - finding a safe group of friends to share my feelings and feel unconditional love and support. An online forum can't replace friends in the natural.
Peace be upon you.
