Is life too short to be scared all the time?
Answer:
I am so glad to hear you survived such a horrible attack. People ask for signs of God's existence. A knife missing your heart by a quarter of an inch is a sign from God.
Life is too short to be scared all the time. I recommend you take advantage of every means to alleviate your fear. Talk to a counselor and talk to God. You have fear that you may be attacked again. There is just as much if not more of a chance that you will NOT be attacked again so it does not make sense to focus on the negative. In time, your fear will subside. Good luck to you and God bless you.
it is, but your fear is completely justified for the time being
It's natural for you to be scared after such a horrifying experience. Who wouldn't? But sometimes things like that happen, and they are beyond our control. So do your best to move on and don't let this experience hinder you for the rest of your life. Best wishes.
Im sorry to hear, I feel same as you. I was also robbed and stabbed in the back, they took my car and left me bleeding. Bled more than you can imagine. I made it to hospital. Its ok to be scared, but the sonner you get over it the better. Do anything you can to get better, see a doctor, talk to someone, really. exersise so you heal fast. I ve actually forgotten about it till now. i think about it but it does not affect me. Im alive and you are too so keep on with the plans you have. You made it so that makes you strong.
I really do feel bad for you. I'm glad you're okay, but I hope you get better. I do know a little about what you're going through, since I was robbed at knifepoint at an ATM and after a few years (yes, years) of being terrified of being alone, I sought therapy--and I'm a big tough guy (hee hee). It helped. But I have to tell you, I still don't use ATM's, and I hesitate to use anything that requires me to stick a bank card or any other card in it. I don't know about you, but I was told by the detective on my case that there was no crime committed against me since it was my roommate's bank card. And there I had always believed that being assaulted by a jerk with a knife was a crime. Silly me. But yes, life is too short to be scared all the time, so get some help. I've improved, even though I'm not cured of "the crime," but life is easier because of the help I got.
Yes I do think it is too short to be scared all the time.
I do need to bear that in mind.
I'm sorry about what happened. In my case, I am too cared to fall in love. I stop myself and make logical explanations of why I shouldn't fall in love. The pain, the letting go process etc. I think I was traumatized by my friends experiences.
So every time a guy comes up to me I hold back cause I don't want to get hurt.
So I think I need to bear that one in mind too.
:D
I was attacked once. Yes, life is too short to live in fear, but you can't blame yourself for looking over your shoulder. It's a natural reaction to a terrible event. You are in survival mode. Being in that mode for too long takes a toll on you.
What worked for me: PTSD therapy and Nightmare therapy.
Now I sleep...(I still look over my shoulder just a little more than everyone else, but I'm more relaxed than before).
I don't want to make this long nor do I want to sound like I'm pushing my beliefs or thoughts on you...life is too short but to be scared is only human. Our minds are so complex, we can't seem to forget what we shouldn't remember and remember what we should forget. This guy who hurt you, he'll get his turn so, try if you can to take a deep breath and let go, one step at a time. The world is on your side...not his.
well life is the longest thing that anybody of us can do and it be a shame to live it in fear. but from your story, you have every right to feel scared, because it was a pretty nasty experience, but if you dont try to get past the fear of it, then well life may suck a bit to a lot. what they say is true, just take one day, hour, minute at a time, and try to enjoy your life.
Yes, there's no point in beeing scared all the time. It doesn't matter how long the life is, you just have to know how to live... You can't enjoy your life when you are scared all the time.
life is too short to take seriously, but that might explain why i died 3 times. (good thing i was brought back all 3 times)
