Sorry you so afraid Bil.
About the scarey monsters. It seems that they don't usu come until your ready to LET them come. See your whole life you been keeping them monsters at bay. And you can continue to do so.
IMHO the best thing you can do is learn coping skills to deal with hard times.
That book on the top of the page, "Feeling Good" is a good CBT book. I myself find it hard to figger stuff from reading, but now I am starting to figger some CBT stuff and it IS useful. There DBT stuff too. Minfulness and stuff. These are things its possible to research and do on your own, so when you do get a T, you've already got some coping skills in place for therapy.
I dunno if you on any meds or even need meds, but they can be useful as well.
Sorry I don't know your story too well.
Posting and asking questions on babble is of course a good idea also.
Take care.
