The fear of diseases and the fear of colonoscopy.
The fear that I die and no one will take care of my dogs.
I know: "The greatest fear is fear itself" but sigh; so hard to implement. |

It happens to me sometimes when I have an argument with my husband. At those moments I feel like a goldfish out of the bowl  .
It is stress.
It goes by. When I relax a bit it goes away. I know: relaxing is easier said than done. |
