Are you scared of something?

I have a anxiety disorder that seemed to have been brought on by the fear of dying(from a illness or otherwise) in short. Although I don't have that fear now as I know it's probably all just anxiety I still have this constant head pressure that causes other symptoms(off balance, blurred vision, tight chest and so on). I've no idea why I still have this head pressure as I don't feel anxious. Still that's something I'm working on figuring out by medication(my current medication doesn't seem to be working) and CBT on some level. The only thing that helps a little is mindfulness techniques and that's something I'm practising between appointments with the doctors. I believe there must be a answer as to why I feel this way as I've only had these symptoms for two years and with it being a mental illness altering my thought process should help. Only time will tell I guess.

I also have a fear of never achieving what I want out of life. That being my own family and a job to support that lifestyle. It's not something I dwell on all that much though as it's pointless dwelling on "what if". All I can do at this point is work on finding myself a job. I'm aware that being out of work probably contributes towards my anxiety but I can't do much about that at this point.

As for 'normal' fears I've always been afraid of heights. This doesn't stop me doing things involving heights but they're not something I enjoy. Although if I faced heights more then I'd probably be able to overcome said fear in theory.
