I can appreciate how you feel, my best friend has really come a long way to deal with her own anxiety so I will share her learnings with you in the hope that they can help you too.

My friend was very anxious and this was mostly around social situations. She would be fine when with close friends but very bad with her boyfriends friend's and people she didn't know well. When she became engaged she vowed that she would sort it out so it didn't ruin her wedding day.

She made an effort to work through the fear a step at a time. She did not avoid the social situations and took control by facing her fear before it got to her. For example, when she was in a socisl situation with her boyfriend she walked away and left him and found the courage to strat conversations with his friends and join in without being asked. She found that doing this let her own her actions and she found she could enjoy it.

It sounds daft but the biggest step is to own your feelings, recognise when you are fearful and accept it. Take 5 minutes to calm down with deep breaths and then regain control and get on with it.

My friend also had some counselling sessions before the wedding which helped her tremendously.

On her hen night she had a 10 minute wobble with fear but took herself away, took some deep breaths and got herself back in control and it did not affect her wedding day at all.

Good luck with it.

i do too, my best advice is to get away from the source who is mean to you, even if it means moving, they are rotten do not stick around

face it.........i know its not easy, but you will soon realise that fear and anxiety is much worse than the actual thing or things you are scared off......in fact 9 times out of 10 when the fear is faced up to you kick youself and wonder what the hell you were scared of in the first place...........


ooo3bffd8626af16
Take deep breaths of air and think logically also,,
If you take each letter from the word f,e,a,r,
(F) false (E) evidence (A) appearing (L) real,,, you get the word fear, and is only the persons emotions that trigger the chemicals in the body to alert status so that what ever it is the human body will be able to defend against it and survive.


mike 9999999
sweetheart, i think you need extra support to get through anxiety. either through friends or family, and if not them, a therapist/ counsellor. i think thats the best way. try to stay strong and positive. put effort into spending time with people. if you want to talk (i have the same problem as you), you can email me on zerocoolmd2000@yahoo.co.uk. i hope you work through it

first of all I usually call a friend and talk about whats troubling me.honesty helps alot.I also write about it. read it and try to find a solution.reading it to GOD and I ask for his help in prayer. I somtimes ask other people to pray for me. The bible says ''GOD has not given us the spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind.'' breathe. nothing is impossible for him. It's in the asking and beliving that fear ceases.

happiness is the one word

EFT is an incredibly quick, simple and painless technique that can be done anywhere, at any time. It involves using a particular phrase, focussing your attention on the issue, and tapping certain acupressure points. See www.emofree.com for more info. You can learn to do it yourself from a free manual downloaded from the website, from the DVDs which are extremely good value, or from a practitioner in your area. As well as being incredibly effective at helping people to overcome phobeas, it's also great for helping people with addictions and other emotionally-based issues.

i think it depends on the fear. if it is an external irrational fear e.g. dogs, heights etc the best thing is to put yourself in a situation where your worst case scenario happens e.g. bungee jumping if you are afraid of heights. go to the dog enclosure in your local park if you are afraid of dogs. I did it that way and it worked great. For more internal fears professional help may be required. good luck. living with anxiety is hell

You face your fear.Once you do you will feel alot better about it.

The only way out is mind control, being able to control yourself, mind and emotions and calmly being able to know that no harm will come to you. It takes time but with time you gain confidence.
learn to relax


psstthok
Say this - out loud - learn it by heart:
(no it's not a fringe religion thing, it's from Dune by Frank Herbert)
better than prozac, librium, alcohol.

LITANY AGAINST FEAR
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I'm no expert, but Hypnotist Paul McKenna had a TV series where he cured people of phobia, and one of his main tools was distraction, he got people to tap on various parts of their bodies like a temple, the back of a hand and the middle of the chest, and this causes the mind to break concentration on what it is fearing. He didn't use it on it's own, but I think it would be a start point for looking into it, and far better advice than "face it" or "God will help you"!

Get some perspective on your fears by talking with someone you respect for their level-headedness, and follow their advice even if your fears try to overwhelm you and makes you want to rebel against the advice.

This method has worked for me, and is a method of spiritual counseling for what is called religious scrupulosity, which is a kind of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I know that you may not have either of these problems, but I imagine that it would work the same on your mind concerning your particular fears.

No soft drink,specially those who contains caffeine and also no tea and coffee and junk food.
Be very nice to your parents and other.
No alcohol drinks.
Be sure you sleep in a healthy room(free from all microbes)
Have some out -door activities with one of your best Friend before dark time.(Clean relationship)

Assuming the fear is unwarranted, then you have to desensitise yourself gradually by exposing yourself to the object or situation you fear. Progess is decided by you, and never allow anybody else to push you beyond your self proscribed limit.

Depends what you're afraid of. I was afraid of heights until I started roofing a church once your up that high your not scared anymore. everyone has a fear of something, just take your time, for example I used to be fearful of spiders also so I learned to be in the same room with them until now I have a pet tarantula he crawls where he wants and it doesn't bother me. took a little while though. Just find out what makes you anxious and why, if it's a lot of things then just pick 1 or 2 things and work on them, when they are gone, pick 1 or 2 more.


kelbel
I think it depends on what your main fears are. When you feel yourself becoming anxious. Stop, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Then think to yourself, do I need to be worried about this? If it is something that you cannot control, like you don't know whats making you anxious maybe you need to see a psychiatrist to get some sort of relaxing drug. Good luck and remember 'fear is just a friend- misunderstood'

i suffered with panic and anxiety for years and its already taken over my life cause i allowed it to!
i know it sounds mad but i always make myself think about the fear of things now, thats the thing you need to control.......DONT allow yourself to get to that stage cause thats when it takes ur life over!!!!
Try thinking more positive.........instead of thinking about what may happen, try to think of the good things that come of the situation.
Example........ dont think " oh my god, what if something bad happens" try to think ........ " yeah its gonna be a wicked time "
This might help you but on the other hand you could think that my name "Madtaz" is appropriate for me!!!!

Take baby steps to get over whatever it is that gives you the anxiety, a little bit at a time is better than overwhelming yourself. Keep telling yourself that you are not afraid and push yourself that little bit further each time, hopefully that will decrease the anxiety slowly but surely. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
