I'm not sure what "terrified" is in reference to- tried to run searches on tweets n DMs, didn't find anything I'd said... but I'm scared of a lot of things... I get somewhat anxious from all the usual things like heights and being trapped and rattlesnakes and violence / rage; I'm scared of humans physically harming me, I'm scared of being talked into killing myself, I'm scared of making mistakes that are hard to undo, I'm scared of being too scared to do what I think is right...

The top panel contains white text reading "send me anonymous messages!" and the bottom panel contains black text reading "This telepathy thing is weird you know, check in with your emotions and listen to what your body is telling you."

A text-based image with a red-to-orange gradient header and a white body. The header reads 'send me anonymous messages!' in white text. The body contains two questions in black text: 'What exactly is it that you're afraid of?' and 'Terrified is a pretty loaded word'.

oh- until covid I'd have said my biggest fear since childhood was a pandemic / bioterrorism because of the fear of infecting family & how ppl turn on each other... but having lived through it now it feels just very unpleasant & undesirable rather than a scary nightmare

also I have a fear of not being able to distinguish hallucinations from reality- the helplessness of being in the psych ward and unable to understand what's going on... it is awful
