Your article was very helpful, thank you. I liked the part about how you said that spirit guides and such things are a normal part in many cultures.
I go went through periods where I would visit the forums or read an article on Erin's blog about a bad experience she had when she was younger and it would be hard for me to go to sleep at night. I, too, would literally not get out of bed if I had to use the bathroom and would be scared of the dark or being alone even during the day. The fear would eventually pass, but then I'd read about someone's experiences and start the cycle all over again.
Last night I was in bed thinking about this thread, and I had a little anxiety but it's definitely not as bad as it used to be, so I am making progress a little at a time.
I know rationally that there is nothing to be afraid of, that the more fearful I am, the more I will attract bad energies.
It's a tough cycle to break.

I was probably worse than you in that I was paralyzed by a fear of spirits. I'd get freaked out if I was in the house or in a room on my own in case there was a spirit or a ghost with me! I was also afraid of my own guides.
Now I work with them daily and sometimes encounter deceased spirits who want healing. I would have had a heart attack if I'd encountered a deceased spirit two years ago
