i didn't know where to post this :/ -

So I for the life of me could not figure out where to post this. So I will just post it here.
Basically, I have a lot of fears. Some of them are common and good or whatever, like heights and stuff. But then I have like REALLY weird and really random fears that don't help me in any way, they just make things harder. I don't know how to get over them, but I am sick of them. I feel like it is just really weird, but... does anyone know how to help me? Hey, I'm Jonah. I like Degrassi, writing, and hanging out with friends. I'm sixteen years old and I am FTM transgender, although these days I identify more as just plain male.
I just wrote up a huge thing about the significance of my username, just to find out it was too long. So if you're curious about it, feel free to ask me. I used to go on here a lot, but lately I don't go on very much at all. Either way, you should still leave me a message some time, I'm very friendly  |

Hey Liza,
Could you tell us a little bit about the fears? It might seem embarrassing or whatnot, but trust me, we've all had strange or different fears (myself included, trust me!). If you think they are interfering with your life and your functioning, I'd REALLY encourage you to speak to someone--a parent, teacher, etc. so you can get the personal help as well as any professional support, that you might need! It gets better, I promise. Don't hesitate to PM me if you'd like <3 "Do not ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.

They're (For the most part) not interfering with my life, I'm just sick of them. I have an INSANE fear or canoes, even though I used to LOVE them, and it's not ANY other boat that is a problem, only canoes. Also shrimp; not ALIVE, but the kind you cook, whether frozen or not. That one is a small problem, cuz the other night my parents were eating shrimp when I was sitting with them and I had major anxiety. Also masses of tiny little holes, like on a chair or whatever just tiny indentations, they're too much for me. I know it's silly, but it's getting to be really annoying.

Hey Liza,
I know it might be hard to think about right now, but the only way to overcome your fears are to face them head on. You don't have to face them all right away at the same time, slowly still works. Like at first try to sit in a canoe when it's on land. When you feel comfortable with that sit in it when it's in really shallow water with someone holding on. Then have somone let go but still sit there, and so on until you are comfortable with paddling in the canoe by yourself. It may be hard, but if you want to overcome the fears you have to teach yourself that nothing is going to happen and you are OK. Good luck! Take care, Alessa  |

Hey Liza,
If these fears are continuing to interfere with your life (and give you severe anxiety) it's worth thinking about reaching out to someone and getting some help for your fears. I know you might feel embarrassed about them, but everyone has fears. Some are more common than others, but the bottom line is, everyone has something that gives them anxiety, and if it interferes with their life, they deserve help. You deserve help. Hang in there. <3 "Do not ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.
