Not afraid of it at all. Just will not take it under ANY circumstance. Poisoning oneself voluntarily is plain stupid.

No I’m never afraid; he takes care of me more than he takes care of himself. He always puts me before everything. He’s great; I’ve never been insecure around him.

Fear and indecision – Why am I afraid of taking the shot?

Q: The upside is I have the opportunity to realize a dream that hatched as an 8th grader in school decades ago. To realize this dream I must sell or give away most of my possessions. A few would go into storage. It would require a radical change of lifestyle, I would be committed for the next 12 months, then move 3000 miles away.Yet, I’m held back by fear. It might not work out, it might suck, and there is a small element of danger – but just enough to make it exciting – and enough to give pause.My son is graduating from college. This is probably my first and last chance to realize a dream that has been dormant for thirty years. I wonder if I’m being a little selfish. This could impact my relationship with my sons in a negative way, but that isn’t certain. They are supportive, telling me to go for it.Is there something to this notion of NOT pursuing a dream because of fear of failure? If I don’t try, failure is certain. So why the paralysis?What is the psychology here?

A: First thing is first, YOU MUST GO!!! (bet that scares the hell out of you huh?) You have placed so much emphasis on this opportunity, probably gone through scenario’s of you doing whatever it is that you are fixated on over and over in your head. You have thought about it way too much! you’re brain probably recognises any thoughts regarding this opportunity as pure ‘fantasy’ – if you have wanted this so bad or so long then you have probably trained your brain to consider these thoughts as ‘unreal’ simple idealisations that cannot be turned into physical actions; you have already told your brain this is just a thought, a dream and not something that can manifest into the ‘so-called’ physical world that is “reality”. You are aware of your fear of failure and any concerns about your relationship with your son being affected are only excuses, tricks your unconscious is using to avoid what you are afraid of doing. The recognisation is the first step but recognition alone is not enough to fix this problem. Ask yourself questions such as;What is the worst that can happen if you take this opportunity? (put it on a scale of 1-10 remembering that 10 is the absolute worse thing that can happen; the end of the world for example – and 1 being getting a flat tyre for example) what does it score?Then do the same when asking yourself what the worse thing to happen could be if you don’t take the opportunity? (will you regret it forever? would that be a positive step to take if you are to consider the effects such a thing may have on you, thus on your son? Do you want your son to miss opportunities throughout his life due to fear and one day be in the same predicament as you? For as much as I do not like to believe it, what my parents do, the way they act and the choices they make still (despite me being 23) have a huge affect on me. Are you more afraid of going or not going? analyse that. Because you must keep in mind that whatever your nerves and fears make you feel do not matter; are you going to ask the butterflies in your stomach what their opinion is and whether they think you should go? I doubt it, the choice is entirely yours. Pretend for a day that you have decided not to go- each time a thought about going pops into your head, disregard it, stop in on the spot by remembering you do not have to concern yourself with the matter for you have already decided not to go – tell yourself you are not going; the nerves will dissapear if you trick yourself well enough, you are already tricking yourself unconsciously, see this as a battle, start fighting back consciously – you are at war with yourself – who do you want to win? the man who cops out and is too frightened to make a change and live life? Or the man that is going to realise that anything that has the ability to concern you so much, is of extreme importance (perhaps it is even destiny) this may be the cause of your worries but be tough with yourself, tell yourself not to whimp out, show up to wherever it is shaking, vomiting and petrified from nerves, look like a fool, fail, succeed, whatever but just get yourself there. There is a reason certain opportunities come our way, and it is usually the most important ones that occupy so much of our mind that we become overwhelmed with thought and fears and convine ourselves there is a decision to be made!!! There is no decision to make, it was made when the opportunity arose. So just deal with the symptoms of anxiety, when you start thinking about it in your head tell yourself to shutup, stop the thoughts as soon as you recognise them for they are your enemy; don’t think about it until you are at the point in time when you are physically there, when the opportunity that you have taken has lead you to where you need to be and you are standing there when the opportunity is no longer that but instead physical reality – then you can think about it – but it will probably be the last thing on your mind. Best wishes, please be brave for all of us cowards – try this website and do some cognitive behaviour therapy i think it will help. http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome HAVE FUN, LIVE LIFE, I hope this helps you

I just started a new job and my credit is shot I am afraid of garnishments.?

Q: Now that I have this job. I will be able to make some kind of payment. I have no idea where to start and who to pay. Any suggestions?

A: No one can just automatically start garnishing your paycheck without first taking you through the court system, so I’d wager that you’ll know about it before it starts happening. If you’ve already been sued and a judgement has been issued for your wages to be garnished once you got a job, THEN it will start automatically without your permission. If you owe debts to certain companies, contact them and set up payment arrangements but, chances are, they probably have already sold your debt to a collections agency. If that’s the case, your credit rating is already shot so you might as well hold out for a while until the collection agency gives you an offer to settle for less than the actual amount of the debt. They buy your debt for a fraction of what it’s really worth and the original company writes off the rest as a business loss. So, if your debt was $2000, the collection agency probably only paid about $600 to buy the debt, but now they will be calling you and pressuring you to pay the entire $2000. That’s a hefty profit for them. They generally can eventually be talked down to 1/2 the actual debt (and still make their profit) but it doesnt help your credit score any. You need to pull your credit reports (from all 3 bureaus) and you will see on the report each individual debt you have and the company or agency that currently owns that debt. You can contact them, but just know that as soon as you do, you open up a whole can of worms. If your debts are less than about 2 years old, the collection agency can (and probably will) sue you for the amount, and begin to garnish your wages. When you contact them, you immediately draw their attention to you and the harassments will start. If the debt is over 2 years old, the agency can no longer take you to court (though they will lie and say that they can) so it almost isnt even worth it to do anything at this point. If (when) you get a phone call from a collection agency, they’ll inform you which debt it is reference to and they’ll supply you with their company name so you’ll know who to make your payments to. Collection agencies make their profits off of people who dont take the time and energy to do their homework, so I would advise you to read up on how to handle those companies, and what your rights are. Depending on the age of your debts, again, it probably isnt going to do you any good at all to pay them off (other than to clear your conscience). Regardless of whether or not you pay them off, the bad entries will remain on your credit report for 7 years, so you kind of screwed yourself out of an easier life for the next 7 years. Take a little time to get some education and save yourself some headaches (and a lot of money).

Why am I afraid of shots, but I can get tattoos with ease?

Q:

A: I have many tattoo’s, but I have literally almost passed out when getting a vaccine. I think it’s because the vaccine needle is just so long and big and it goes deep. You can’t see the actual needle on a tattoo gun because it is moving so fast and it feels nothing like getting a shot. I don’t know, it’s pretty weird.
