About the Womyn

I should start my introduction by letting you know that I am completely afraid of deep water. As in lakes, oceans, rivers, seas, pools, etc. But not including water in a glass or in a bath tub, just large bodies of water.

I am trying to figure out a lot of things about me, trying to discover reasons for the why I live my life the way I do and why I have so many fears. All this seems to add up to me being in troubled waters, where I don't feel like I have control, where I don't know what's going on, and where I feel like I am sinking or drowning (which coincidentally are really big fears of mine).

One of the hardest things that I have to remember while I'm in these troubled waters is that I'm not alone. I believe in God and therefore know that I am not alone. I do have supportive people who listen to me when I need them. But most of the time I forget that all this surrounds me. It is hard to trust anyone and anything when I am not sure where I am admist the trouble.
