I've conquered some of my fears and I'm still working on others, and there's probably more that I'm not even aware of yet.

The death of my son fucked me up. I don’t really care if I live or die. What’s the point? There’s no definition of ‘happiness’ that I even understand, anymore. Fear is a mechanism in place to alert an animal to get out of a situation in order to preserve life. It’s just fucking gone in me.

@Donotbelieve you’re one of those who do

@Donotbelieve real, intelligent, nice people help me see that there is some value left in humanity

This is very heavy. I'm sorry about your son. Two of my three kids died when they were 15 and 29. It is such a devastating thing to endure. I don't know how old your son was or how long ago he died, but, I hope that a day will come when you can find something, no matter how small, to be happy about, and reclaim your life. It doesn't seem like it could possibly happen, but, it might. Grief is something you can't rush through, unfortunately. Again, I am very sorry.

@Donotbelieve 🙂

I would say, you were slammed with the ‘big one,’ the loss of a child is not something I have had to face, but I am certain that it would be the ultimate ‘everything!’ I know others that have experienced that loss, they are diffferent now. Your sorrow is warranted. You must create a different place for yourself! My
Best!

@Wisewoman3 Dakota was 19. He would be 22 in a little over a month.

@NothinnXpreVails that is so terrible. So sad. I wish you peace, and I hope that someday you will be able to reconcile this tragedy that you are enduring.

We all have a story, I'm very sorry about your loss. I have lost a child myself. I very much can relate.

That is why we should all love each other a bit more.....I am sorry for your loss. I went through a huge loss last year myself. Just know that there are people that do care. Thats how I am making it through. Day by day.

@Wildgreens I’m sorry

I had a bad experience with a snake when I was a child. I’m terrified of them to this day.

I find it very exhilarating to get on a thrill ride that is very scary and intimidating, face my fears, and survive it. It releases so many endorphins I feel fantastic getting off that ride. I wish the other fears I have yielded similar benefits. 🙂 But I am in general not a fearful person in terms of having irrational fears or fearing things that are very unlikely to happen to me. I have a couple of definite aversions, but not fears.

I would say yes, i still hate snakes lol

Apparently there's laws against conquering women these days ........
