I stare at the keyboard not knowing how to begin but now that it's out of the way I can go to the point. I feel like I live in constant fear. It took me a long time to even recognize it. It's frustrating that I can rationalize it but I can't get rid of the feeling. That heavy feeling right in my chest and the pounding in my head. Everything and everyone is so distant and yet I'm too afraid to make contact. Always afraid. I'm even afraid to post this and I'm not even quite sure why. What could be the worst thing to happen? Nobody replying? Would that be a sign of failure?

Are you afraid?
