it may be sad but i'm almost 22 and i'm scared to death of storms, which it's doing right now. I even have myself worked into tears. It's pathetic. I hate being alone and hearing the thunder, rain and hail. :(


You're not sad and pathetic. I think it's normal. Storms can be scary, and being alone can be discomforting, especially during a scary storm. flowers

You have a number of options to deal with this situation. You could:
-hide under the table
-find someone wearing a waterproof anorak, so he won't get too wet when you're crying on his shoulder
-find some kind of whale-song relaxation tape and listen to that instead of the howling winds
-get totally drunk, so you don't give a rat's behind about the storm
-move to a calmer place.
But honestly, don't beat yourself up over being scared, it's a natural reaction to a scary situation. Try to find help when the weather is calm, that way you'll be prepared for the next storm and won't worry so much about it.
