Hey Now!!!

Would much rather hear Hank Kingsley (Jeffrey Tambor) give the advice.

Dokta Phil. Ya. Now that's some good advice he gives out, but who can
hear it
through his "gentle" style?

Pretty soon, television and print media will be Oprah Associated, All the
Time.
Oh!

In past years I have visited or volunteered at the spring
Philadelphia
Flower Show held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center but this year
I'm skittish. It's being held March 2 through March 9. With war
against Iraq impending now, the war may be under way at the time of
the show.

The Flower Show is an easy target for terrorists because the
Pennsylvania Convention Center (called "Pennsylvania" but located in
Philadelphia) and the ground floor under it have many entrances and
is
linked with the public trains which would make it easy for a
terrorist with a chemical or biological weapon, anthrax or a plastic
explosive to enter and set it off.

Has anyone else thought about this? I don't like to change my
lifestyle but in these troubled times I am hesitant to enter public
places, especially those that might be equated by Bin Laden types
with
American wealth: I like to garden too much!


It is said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. That's the
simplistic blow-off answer.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you're feeling this much
anxiety about something like this, you really need to find a
counselor -- an impartial professional who can help you deal with
issues
like this.

If you're unsure of where to get help, there are places to turn. If
you're employed, your employer may have an employee assistance program.
If you have a good relationship with your family physician, he or she
can refer you to someone. Larger cities and counties may have public
social service agencies, and private social service agencies are
around,
too. Don't worry about going to the wrong agency for help. Your goal is
to only find someone who can direct you to the right place for help.

If you have health insurance, often the mental health issues are
handled
by a separate division that has people who can help you find the
appropriate help. Even if you don't have insurance, and can't afford
typical psychologists rates, there are places that you can get free or
low-cost help, too.

If fear is keeping you from participating in normal activities, it is
time to get help. There are wonderful folks in most newsgroups, but
quite frankly, you'll get as much unhelpful advice as you will get
helpful advice here. Posting in newsgroups is akin to standing on the
sidewalk, and announcing to all passers that you need advice. Go and
get
help now, before fear grips you so badly that you even fear getting
help.

Fear can be a spiral. It's important that you seize the moment, and
seek
help while you still can.

Good luck.
