Please Help! . I Have A Serious Phobia For Traveling. (Graphic Photos) (26153 Views)

Hi guys, I don't know what's wrong with me. Growing up, my best moment was whenever I was traveling(By road). I used to enjoy this. But since I clocked 25, I no longer find it pleasurable traveling, I'm always scared of traveling. I fear that I may be involved in an accident that could maim or kill me. I have not been able to share this with anyone cos I don't know how to. Some years ago, my friend and I had a terrible ghastly accident that almost costed us our dear lives. We were returning back from the village in the early(6am) hours of the morning and before we would exit the village, the brakes of our vehicle(Lexus 350) failed and the speed of the car tripled. I saw death, I came in direct with death, but God saved me. My friend who was driving was quickly rushed to the hospital where he spent a week but I was lucky to not be much affected. I only had a cut on my lips and head. The vehicle somersaulted countless times. Farmers who were on their way to the farm that morning and heard the sound of the car somersaulting refused coming to help us. They said they didn't want to see Dead bodies at that early time of the morning, they didn't know we survived. Sometimes again, I had another accident. I was about running mad when I eventually managed to pull out of the car, I had use my head to hit everywhere. These two accidents involving two different cars were all sold as scraps cos the damage were irreparable. And if they were to be fixed, the money would be more than imagine. Again, my father died from a motorbike (Vespa) accident many years ago while I was just 7years. He didn't die on the spot, he even brought himself back home that night unaided. No external injuries but he had internal bleeding which wasn't detected in time, at 4am, mum took him to the hospital as pains in his chest became intense and at 7am, he gave up the ghost. The psychological impact of all these still affect me, I guess. How do I overcome this please? Its so bad that whenever a loved one is traveling, I will be saying in my mind that the person might die on the road and that we may never see again. God pls help me! God has saved me countless times and if I begin to write here, we may not go to bed tonight. To God alone be all the Glory! 26 Likes 4 Shares |

You obviously need psychotherapy. In the meantime stay in one place. And don't play basketball.

You need deliverance for sure. Only genuine encounter with Jesus can save you from this fear of death. It is a demonic and satanic oppression you are suffering from.

Exgee: My brother, since you're a Christian, I can advice you. Every accident leaves you with a traumatic experience that opens doors to demons. Through that trauma, the demons will cause unexplainable fear and establish a phobia. Consequently, the traumatic incident, in your case, the accidents will continue to happen and may even become generational. If not taken care of, your children will have the same phobia and would also become accident prone. Go for deliverance my brother. Tell your story to a deliverance minister. Let them separate your soul from the memory of the accident that took your dad. Let them break the soul tie between you and the first accident that happened to you. Let them usher the peace of God to dwell in your heart and cast out the spirit of fear and death. You shall be free in Jesus name. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 11 Likes 2 Shares |

My mom use to tell my brother in the military to be careful any time he comes home, my brother response never changed from, mom! People who don’t engage in war that are sitting peacefully at home died the most gruesome way. Being a soldier doesn’t mean I will die at war I may even die of common malaria. Bro coming to this world is risky already so do not live in fear cuz I’ve seen people who doesn’t own a port but died of plane crash at home… 16 Likes 1 Share |

Your fear of traveling likely stems from traumatic accidents and your father’s death, which is understandable. To overcome this: Acknowledge the trauma and consider therapy Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to process it. Start with small, safe travel steps, like short distance with a trusted person. Practice relaxation techniques (deep breathing, mindfulness) to manage anxiety. Challenge catastrophic thoughts, like fearing loved ones’ deaths, by replacing them with positive thoughts. Share your feelings with a trusted family, friends or spiritual advisor for to be more relaxed with your environment. Learn about road safety to feel more in control, and consider a medical checkup to rule out physical triggers. Celebrate small progress and be patient. Great job for speaking out. Identify your fear and face it gradually. May God help you through this. 4 Likes 1 Share |
