Answer 1

Fear is a big controlling factor for most people. It's difficult to release your fears, but it's not impossible. For one, it's much better to face your fear, rather than keep avoiding it all your life. Do you really want to continue being afraid of thunderstorms? Of course not. When I was a child, I was afraid of them as well, mainly due to the noise. You need to realize that as long as you're in your house, you cannot be harmed. Lightening cannot come through your house and thunder is just a loud, banging noise that causes no harm. Wind can cause some damage, but like I said, as long as you're in your house, you are safe. Try reading a good book, playing with any pets that you have, or simply try to relax yourself by repeating that you're safe in your house and you'll be fine. I hope you can overcome your fear. Believe in yourself and your power to overcome it.
