Well, my spirituality has caused me great fear. I still have to deal with it. I'm extremely shy also. I'm just here. I try very hard just to cope with daily life. When I pushed real hard to move forward with my spirituality, I went insane several times. So, I withdrew within myself and I strive to maintain harmony within. Fear is with me always, yet I also try to move forward slowly. Great powers were exposed to me from within, and it scared me.

Dear Burt B,

You say you live with fear.Fear is happiness worst ennemy.
A good part of my life ,fear lead my life also.I am manic depressive.Told you that before .Inherited from my mother 3 mental desease.2 that I got rid of with positive thinkig and spirituality and the last one, well it is well controlled with proper medication.I have not had anxiety or panic for 5 years now
So for almost 60 years ,I fought ,I fought hard to regain my life.I wish the same to you brother in suffering.

I am normally interested in spiritual conversation. Right now I am entirely focused on my husband leaving me. He leaves tomorrow in the early AM. I can't seem to think about anything else and i don't know how long i will be somewhat 'out of it' when he goes.

Jilly, this forum is a good place to find support and friendship as your spiritual path takes you through places you may not want to be.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
