YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

I'm afraid of my teeth falling out.

I'm afraid I'll never get a job.

I'm afraid of germs.

I'm afraid of leaving therapy.

I'm afraid my therapist will think I'm exaggerating.

I'm afraid of not expressing myself clearly enough in therapy.

I'm afraid of getting into more debt in a state of mania.

I'm afraid I'll never pay off the debt I have now.

I'm afraid of losing my independence.

I'm afraid my boyfriend might be gay.

I'm afraid I'll never have good sex again.

I'm afraid of getting a fat chin.

I have a lot of fears that revolve around my debt too. I hate when people say "money can't buy happiness," because they ignore the fact that a deep lack of it is devastating.
