Is anyone else scared of the wind?!


Question: Every time it gets blustery outside, I get all panicky - can't sleep or relax at all.
I don't know anyone who feels like this, & everyone I mention it too looks at me like I'm a nutter !
I need to know I'm not alone, & also, what to do to calm myself down.
Thanks !

You are not a nutter. We all have different fears. Yours happens to be fear of wind. Have you had a bad experience in a storm or wind? Watch TV or put music on. Do you have a pet? If so stroke it as this calms you too.


Try and be positive and think that "OK it's windy outside but I'm nice and safe indoors. Then try and do things that will distract your mind from the wind...so ab-sailing and jet ski-ing are out *LOL*
The only wind i am afraid of is my husbands when he has had cider or baked beans!

Yes, sometimes I am.

Yeah, it's intimidating sometimes

its annoying but not scary but dont worry im afraid of squirrels

Not really, only the damage it might do.
If you are in England hun I wouldn't go very far Sunday night...Monday as its going to be very windy..sorry but I just read it in the paper.

I also don't like severe gales and windy weather. I think it is fear of what will happen to my house in these conditions. Last year half my roof blew off and I had to have major works done, with scaffolding and the whole lot. I am also scared of driving in case a tree falls on my car roof etc. I don't know how you can calm yourself, other than deep breaths and keep telling yourself that you alright.

Only when I se a tornado.

I dont think your a nutter. :)) sometimes i get scared of the wind too. especially in my house. Since our backyard has a lot of trees it gets pretty scary when it gets windy outside. And it does make me panick but i try to keep the sound out of my room.

dont be scared its just wind

I'm not scared off the wind, even when it gets to hurricane force......its the flying debris in the wind that scares me.

yes..it makes me feel like I am losing control..
like my whole world is gonna crash down on me..
it's this house I am in,,the wind blows it funny and the wind blows through the old windows making a screaming noise,and things crashing around..
and when I am driving it moves my car and scares me..

what I do is turn the radio really loud and think summer !!!!

people are scared of just about anything,so Im sure lots can be scared of the wind.Im terrified of the dark btw.

Wind is a scarey sound. So I understand where you are coming from.

My wife is.....
i would suggest just working out. Building a little muscle.
YOu'll feel more centered, and more confident.
Simple response, I know, but try it.
It'll do the trick.

Nope. I just LOVE the wind! I think it makes music sometimes. I specially like being in bed hearing it.
Mother nature!!
