Two excellent fears. I myself, am a Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being.
( To be very afraid, go watch the movie "Magic" - - pretty good movie to me. A HUGE bonus for me is Jerry Goldsmith's excellent movie score for the film. If you listen to the main theme here, dig the creepy harmonica! But, seriously, if that ventriloquist dummy fear is strong, don't watch the movie - - this movie might set you over the edge. But the music is gorgeously creepy to me as a stand-alone wonderful listening experience.)
Too much, too much. But I know I have much, much for which to be grateful. I'm afraid and anxious right now. But I will forge on. I don't mean to sound like an a**.
Thanks for a Pick, carbonproduct. Noticing today just now so many people here on the site really laying it on the line how they feel and think about various things, so I will, too --I'll not hide it - - crippled, indeed is how I'm feeling with the anxiety and fear. And I'm getting exhausted, probably already beyond exhaustion. I'm going to start receiving professional help again. tired, so very tired. And uninspired to do anything but cower.
There, it seem true - - I'm not so strong as I'l like to be but, despite my fears, I'm stronger than a lot of people would know. Especially those who have no idea what I'm going through yet still judge.
