Agreed Anita. Quoting Dumbledore from Harry Potter… “it’s the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing else.” That uncertainty and doubt certainly inspires fear like nothing else does. Presently there’s only one thing that produces such fear in me. You know what it is. The rest I can manage and at least taking your advice and my own resolution, am doing my best not to let it affect my studies. By trying to be positive, I am managing to control this fear so far. I do run to extra food in these times. Can’t help it. 😛

As an aside, am also trying to get rid of my lifelong voracious habit of biting nails to stubs. Perhaps gaining a little more confidence that way can help in some manner.
