WELCOME TO “FEARS UNVEILED”

Much like PostSecret or Passive Agressive Notes, this is an exploration into the world of human emotions.

Four years ago, I suffered a concussion that changed my life drastically to this day.  Up until May 1, 2005, I was the most normal human being you could find.  I lived a normal life, had a steady boyfriend, got along great with friends, was in my sophomore year of college, and I had no real medical problems.  Life was good.

A concussion changed my life forever – I have since been diagnosed with migraines, endometriosis, and interstatial cystitis.  I’m allergic to wheat and dairy.  I’ve had every medical test you can possibly imagine – and I’m not elaborating.  I used to call myself a lab rat.  To make a long story short, after 4 years of chronic pain, 2 run-arounds with narcotic pain meds, my “medical” saga ended with surgery.  I have yet to have a steady relationship since that “steady” boyfriend left me for another woman when I got sick, and sometimes I feel as if I’m barely keeping up with life.

People ask me now if I feel “ok,” and I nod and tell them “yes,” but in the back of my head there’s that little voice that is still afraid of tomorrow.  The doctor’s fixed me physically, but I have yet to fix myself mentally.  All the fears I created and then carried for 4 years still weigh me down.

It’s easy for people to say that I should be better.  It’s easy for people to say that I need to get rid of all my misgivings and fears in life.  But the problem is that I’ve always been an introvert and I’ve never been good at talking to people about my feelings, most especially my fears.

I’ve been told the only way to overcome your fears is to face them head on.  State them out loud, learn to disable them or break them down, make peace with them and then finally, move on from them to a more mentally and emotionally stable life.

Easier Said Than Done.

Everyone needs an outlet for their fears – the fears that eat you up inside, the fears that keep you up at night, the fears that keep you from moving forward in life.  But we don’t all have that outlet.  So I made this site, in hopes I will overcome my own fears and hopefully help others find the strength to beat theirs.

There are no rules…You can’t put a rule on people’s fears.  You can post anonymously or not.

They can be expressed in a sentence, in a picture or anywhere in between.

All I ask is that you put your fear here and you leave it here…once you put it here, don’t take it back with you into your life.

The statements, pictures, etc….that you place on this page will be part of a larger project I am working on.  Be mindful of this fact when you decide if you would like to post your name or not when posting.

Thank you!  And please, be honest and open!  No one will judge you here.  Just think of this as a silent psychologist.  🙂
