Lisa, Gina, Jenn, everyone...thank you so much!! It's nice to know, I am not alone and that there are things I can do to deal with it. I admit, I am being very general in what it is I am afraid of, and Lisa your right...I need to narrow it down some. I knew you would say the right things Lisa...you usually do! Luv ya!!

Gina ~ Your right. Facing it is hard, but I am doing it. Every day I have gotten my arse back on that bike and today is the first time I didn't lay it down. I also started telling myself "You are stronger than that person, you could run faster than that person, LOOK confident". These things help you feel that way as well. Appreciate your words darlin'!!

Trina sweetie...your an angel! I wish I had half the gumption you have!!

Linda ~ I really hate the thought of therapy...I mean HATE IT. Which is why I am posting here, and trying to reason it out with the help of everyone else here. I realize your probably right, but I am classically going to try and avoid that route for as long as I can. I promise though if it comes to me not leaving my house because of debilitating fear...then I will definitely seek out some professional help. Until then though, my stapler family will just have to put up with me being a big chicken! BOCK-BOCK!
