    The issue of fear, is how it is affecting you. Are you missing work, locking yourself in the house. Refusing to go out at night?

    In the United States, most areas will have income based counseling available.

    Systematic desensitization might work. It is facing the fear in baby steps. First you might just look at a picture of the moon. Then maybe look at a video. Then look at it through a window. Then maybe stand outside for a minute or two. Most of all, challenge the idea that you have that is false. I always get scared when driving, and I tell myself that I am a good driver, couldn't possibly go through the guardrail at my current speed, etc.

    Consider being a guest on a talk show about your fear. It might sound sarcastic but it will be an all expense paid trip usually to New York or L.A and they will hook you up with top of the line therapists and useful advice . I've done it !
