If it has become an issue for you, you need to seek professional advice. You need to speak to your GP and ask him for a refferal to an appropriate person.

You deserve way better than this so please seek help. The road can be long and hard..... but the results are worth it Smile

Welcome to oFear, blinky 126 Smile

I'm not a therapist, just a person who tries to rationalize any fear that I've had through the years. When I've felt afraid because of something and things that have actually happened, if and when the fear comes up and seems to put me right back there, I just slowly start concentrating on my breath and tell myself it's not happening NOW, and it seems to work for me. Changing one's thoughts to something happier can be done with practice, and it does work. It's a step at a time like anything else and with trying it more and more, it may help you as well.

If you need to go out in the dark at your farm, take someone with you, that may help. Even trying to go a little further each time carrying a lantern. If you have a dog, take him/her with you. Just a few suggestion to try and help. Smile

Let us know how you are doing.Smile
