Thought help: As the days get closer, i grow more scared. - Help.com

I would go for you if I could!

Fear is normal, don’t let it spook you, ok?

Of course you are scared, only Superman wouldn’t be. It’s a natural reaction and human reaction. It shows you have heart. Only frightened people can show courage, those who seem brave, just end up acting stupidly because they are full of s**t.

You on the otherhand are still going to Iraq, despite being scared, now that’s bravery! You are brave, believe in yourself and those around you. And come back safe.

Good to see you shellfish….

Thanks.

Irish Lad, will you have occasional computer access?
If so, please shout me, or post or whatever…ok?

I agree, you’re an emotional Celt and be proud that you have feelings that you can admit to. As long as you can turn that fear into a healthy appreciation of what is needed in each situation that arises then you will be fine. The anticipation is often the worse part. Warm thoughts from me.

Although I don’t agree with the war in Iraq, I admire the soldiers that are fighting there - good luck
