FEAR! The gremlin that occupies so much of my psychic space can also be called by this name. Whereas anxiety is more clinical, implying possible treatment, a pill somewhere by which it can be eradicated, fear is more earthy, more primordial, difficult to pin down. It is like a fog.
Fear is the wall that so often separates me from others. Judging, lashing out, demanding, these are all strategies I use to protect myself, trying to stay safe, never really certain what I am protecting myself from.
