Warning: maybe stupid advice, but I hope people with more therapy experience can say if so.
Seems like some self-reinforcing behavior. Can you change your environment - go to a different place for a while, for example? Stay with people you feel safe around?
Also, what happens when you think about your actual odds of suffering a negative event, and the fact that they are not correlated to your fear experience?
The cognitive distortion is called "catastrophizing", I think.
I'm afraid of unexpected, strongly negative events occurring to me without warning. Nothing specific, just a generalized fear. That fear is crippling me. Worse, there's a part of me that feels that fear is keeping me safe. "If I let go of that fear," it goes, "I would start doing things and then I wouldn't be safe any more."
I haven't filled out a job application in over a week, because doing so would force me out into the world if i got an interview, and into the world consistently if I got the job.
