Severe Phobia of Storms
I have suffered from a fear of storms since I was a kid, but I could always manage it. However, this past year, it has become severe. It has gotten to the point where I couldn't go outside if there was even one dark cloud, any sort of wind on a bright and sunny day made me anxious. If a storm did roll through, I would break down crying, hide, and hyperventilate. I finally went to a doctor which is a huge step for me because I have a fear of them as well and was put on Zoloft. Its kind of helping, but I still have a fear of it!
It will be better for couple weeks. How do you feel now ?
how's it going? i too have developed an intense fear of storms and get crazy anxious if the sky goes grey. i dread thunder etc and because storms happen in the middle of the night that makes thing so much worst as i live on my own and can hardely phone friends at 3am.
thankfully God has been gracious and none of the predicted storms of the last few weeks have happened, not that that has stopped me having meltdowns from reading the weather forecast.
good to find a fellow sufferer, as people seem to think it's " funny" . although i obvivously hope your fear becomes less of a challenge for you.
