I posted long time ago a topic regarding a fear I had. The fear I had was going to a new gym I went to the gym and had panic attack and anixiety for some reason.

I went to the same gym puffed up my chest told myself im good I went in and i felt good
its a small fear I conquered but to me i felt really good lol
I hope this motivates people not sure it will though its a small thing

    Sometimes the dread is worse than the actual doing. Well done!

    The last time I went to the gym I had panic attacks and I felt everyone was looking at me not a good feeling.
    I conquered it now I went in I thought leave but I had to convince myself stay and on the way to that gym I was pumping myself up to go and dont think you are less than anyone else.

    Panic Attacks is not a small thing.
    It can lead to massive terrors.
    Well done in overcoming your fears.

    I'm proud of you. I will be glad when I can face people. I gained so much weight in the past 5 years. I really don't want to see people I used to work with in the current shape I'm in.

    Fear of Heights is different. I used to have a massive fear of heights.
    It's more a lack of trust you have in yourself than it is a fear.
    You have to learn to trust that you can keep yourself safe from falling.
    For me. finding other peoples support to overcome my fears made it harder.
    I had to do it all alone. And only after I conquered my fear did I go back to my
    wife and seek comfort. I needed it...:noway:

    This is so me!!! I am afraid of running into people I haven't seen in years.
