Fear of Daylight/Sun related to Cosmophobia

[Sudde]

I am currently going through a typical thought/overthinking which is didn’t ever thought will come to my mind. Initially it started with fear of falling to space from Earth. I know this is unrealistic.

Now suddenly one day I thought that if I can see the Moon at Night and Sun then I have a chance to get lost in the outer space.

To make it even worse I just thought that during daylight I might fall between Sun and Earth as the daylight is reminding me that Sun is there.

Now I do understand that this will not happen and certainly I will never be going to space only Astronauts can.

On the other hand it stuck to Mind that whenever I will see the daylight this thought will trigger.

It’s all coming out of my mind.

I am trying to get rid of this totally but when I am thinking I have to continue my job to support my Family and eventually I have to go out then I am getting scared.

How can I overcome this anxiety. Somebody please help me out.

Please I want some helpful advice.

This forum is pretty specific in supporting folks who have physical feelings that are called anxiety.

With that said....

My personal observation of what I just read is that, I "see" an imaginative creative science fiction writer.

You are creative, inventive, and probably born to write this stuff, so write down all of these fantastic thoughts and let your imagination be free.

Instead of "YOU" being the one who is able to morph the stratosphere, give the guy a name and have him do all of the space travel for you while you go to work.

That way you have total control of where he goes, what he does, when he leaves, what he feels when the sun is out. Have the guy be your buddy or something.

Please consider a lovely new notebook and your favorite pen and give us a chance to get a first edition of the book when its published.

Go forth and be free Sudde!

Thanks Indigojoe I really appreciate the way you replied.

However the difference here is that I am taking this imagination as a negative minded ness instead of the way you described.

Now the thing is I don’t want to get into all of this stuffs rather I want to concentrate on my job and want to return home and wake up happily in the morning I used to do till the 13th of July I went to take a picture of a sunset and instead I got dizzy and seeing the Sun setting through the horizon that visualisation of falling into space triggered in a very bad way which ultimately led to all this.

I am searching for something positive ness so that I can comfort my mind and be like before.

We have authority over how we choose to view anything.

Observe how you are "fighting" to keep your creative, writing abilities, a negative.

Be well..........

Go Forth and Prosper

( IF you write everything down by hand that you are thinking about, once it is out and on paper, you WILL go back to being able to compartmentalize your job, family, and the little guy who will do your traveling for you.)

Indigo Joe gave you wonderful and very clever advice. I would suggest that you try to follow his advice.

Thanks a lot for supporting me. Let’s see where I go eventually. But I will start writing. But the uncomfortableness of mine thinking about what will happen when I wake up from my sleep and will see the daylight

and then what will happen to me is just getting me worried too much.

I have many dreams to pursue like to see Europe, UK and enjoy the beauty but how come I do that if I fear the Sun/Daylight that too for an imaginative reason which I am taking it negatively.

I just not able to control those thoughts and it will stuck up in my mind that whenever I will see the daylight as if like I will get lost in the middle of Earth and Sun as already I shared in the question.

[Indigojoe in reply to Sudde]

The dizziness of the sunset photo was probably a " one off".

Stop fighting for your right to be upset.

You have a book to write, go write it.

These fears definitely sound like intrusive thoughts which happen with anxiety and OCD. Here are a few articles that might help:

And a great book:

Hope this helps!

I think you need to read what you actually put there. You fear getting lost in outer space, unrealistic yes but maybe you fear getting lost for a reason ?. You also say you look after your family and support it, maybe you fear if you got lost you'd not be able to support them and that is what scares you.

I believe there is a reason we become ill, maybe the pressure and fear of not being there to support your family trigger an insecurity inside you ?.

Wow, do you have any other psychiatric problems? You might need meds.

Play some minecraft maybe with a friend, where you can really fall out of the world

Write a story, have fun with this but meds and a psychiatrist would be my top suggestion.
