I enjoyed reading your post, fear is the response to an immediate danger while anxiety is when we get the "what if" loop in our thoughts and we worry about what it may happen..sometimes fear "kills" more people than death

Thanks for the clarification. You can also have fear of open spaces, the fear of those spaces that causes panic and anxiety. Yet, there is no real danger, only a perceived or imagined danger, but there is still a fear.
