hi everyone,

this is my first real post to this forum. i am looking for some advice. i remember reading in the materials on this website about fear being a sort of almost "negative greeting" and that we shouldn't fear because if we can get past it, the negative will fall away (i am not sure that is correct, but that is what i remember). anyhow, i have a huge issue with fear...i am a 'fraidy' cat i suppose or a worry wart.... i get afraid over any thing, i fight to hold my balance, i try not to listen to news reports, it all just tears me up and i have to start over again trying to balance things. i got some news from where i am working currently and there is a possibility that i may not be able to work there anymore come the fall...i know that my field is much in demand and that i can find a job elsewhere, but still it stoked the fear fire within me again because i don't want to leave there, but i believe that i will be led to where i am supposed to be in the end (i always am). i wake up about 3 am every morning when i have worries and i am shaking in my boots again. many many things make me afraid, i feel like i live in fear so much of the time, and i really feel like i fight a losing battle here with it.

does anyone know how to best quell fear? my husband says that he just doesn't worry but it almost seems at time that my mind isn't even my own in this regard, i just can't help but just soak it in from everywhere around me.

thanks in advance for your advice,
