well, I know that fearing certain places or people because one is afraid of getting panic attacks is common among those with anxiety problems.

I myself have a problem with fearing fear when i try to o.b.e. , it's really feels like a fear that is impossible to overcome, because it feels like it is something being done TO ME, not something im causing.
Reasoning doesnt seem to repress it.

and worse yet it happens randomly too...
I wish I could overcome this...

be careful, these are first signs of a very real 'anxiety disorder'. I've been suffering from one one year know, where i had the same symptoms and smoking a joint one night triggered the whole thing and it exploded into a full disorder. My study and life is down the drain for a year now, random anxiety attacks i get from possibly almost anything, and it's gonna take me at least another long and hard year to recover from it. Better safe then sorry i hope for you: bring balance, rythm and soberness into your life (really cut on drugs as much as possible for the time being) and take plenty and plenty of rest. Anything stressfull can trigger it some point, be it a joint, a sudden task, a death of a beloved one. Fear of fear to conclude though, is something very familiar to this problem. In the end it will even become fear of fear of fear, and it is even called this way in psychological terminology. Peace

I used to have what I suppose is best described as an anxiety disorder, I never realized what it was at the time, just that I had spontaneous recurring panic attacks that were like bad trips except not induced by drugs. I began to fear the attacks themselves, to fear fear shall we say. Not pleasant.

I don't have this problem anymore, thank goodness. I've become more balanced, calm and in control of myself emotionally and spiritually. It's *not* an easy thing to get a handle on. To calm myself after one of my attacks would take every ounce of strength I had and it wouldn't always work. I'd have to seek out a person I felt safe with and talk to them, not necessarily about the attack, but that helped too. I had to distance myself from it, and stop being alone. If I was alone after the panic occured it would take longer to see light again. I'd curl into the fetal position and remain in fear, or feel sick to my stomache and puke.

Another good thing is that they almost never occured in social situations, usually just in the space between awake and dreaming. Only when I let my mind wander towards it. I could stop it from fully happening, but once I got on that track it was hard to pull off it. Sometimes I wanted to go in to see if I could get some control over it, but I never could once it peaked.

I'm just so grateful that I've found balance and control over my mental state of being.
