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'
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.
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.
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)
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.
what I have to say you may not agree with





I believe that Fear is a spirit, I am a Christian and because I believe in the word of God, scripture puts it as follows....





';For I have not given you the SPIRIT of FEAR, but of power, love and of a sound mind';





Dont accept the fear that tries to come on you, If you have never ackowledged Christ in your life, ask him to reveal himself to you, He is the Prince of peace, there is no fear allowed to come near you when you are hid in Him.





Hope this helps...............dont accept irrational fear, there is a time to rightly be afraid, for eg. if a poisonous snake was about to bite you, but fear that just suddenly comes upon you for no reason is not right!





t care
I have suffered anxiety for years. When i first got it i was frecked out as i couldnt control it. I manage it better these days. You learn how to cope with it eventualy. Dont try and run from it, it makes it worse.Eventualy you will learn techniques that help you.
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';!
seriously.


sit your self down in a clam and relaxed environment and just clear your mind. try and ask your self what it really is your are becoming anxious over and ask yourself the reality of any of it actually happening. anxiousness can be a sign of depression so it is important you see a counsellor. and yes, it will also be very beneficial to cut down on horror movies/books- they will just add to the anxiousnouss. to be more helpful i really would have to know what it is you are actually anxious about.





hope this helps.


=) good luck.

Say this - out loud - learn it by heart:

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.
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
see a counsellor or psychotherapist





anxiety is extremely common and relatively easy to get help for
You face your fear.Once you do you will feel alot better about it.
Keep repeating to yourself that you can handle it or just buy Feel the fear and do it anyway by susan something
There is nothing to fear only the fear itself. Get a grip.
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.
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
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.
happiness is the one word


keep ur self happy

this word fear will just wipes out of ur mind by its own.





u r a happy person, aren't u?
The thing to remember above all is that anxiety and fear can be rational and irrational. You do not have to search for the reason why you are afraid, nor do you have to berate yourself for feeling anxious 'for no reason'. This happens.





To overcome, you have to realise that, while you may not, at that particular moment in time, be able to control your fear, you can completely decide how you choose to react to it. I'm not saying that's something that is easy or will come to you overnight. But you can control your reaction to fear, and recognise different types of fear. When you can do this then... Well, then you have nothing to fear.





An often-repeated quote is ';you have nothing to fear but fear itself';. There is something in this. If you find yourself panicking, it is usually the escalation of fear due to your fear of what the fear will do to you. You can detect panic, you can detect fear, you can choose how to deal with it.





Pragmatically, it also helps to steer clear of substances that have you acting irrationally. Alcohol and other psychoactive drugs are not a great idea. Caffeine is worth avoiding too - particular if you're prone to panic attacks. Valerian tea is a good way of relaxing without having to resort to anything nasty like tranquillisers, beta-blockers or anxiolytics.





It also helps to sleep well. Fear can often lead to sleeplessness, and sleeplessness just enhances the fear. Often, the only way is to ensure you are physically exhausted, then you will sleep. The endorphins generated from vigorous exercise help control your anxiety too, so this is something thoroughly recommended, however cynical it is easy to be at the thought of exercise as a panacaea for something that is in your head!





Finally, if you find it difficult to cope alone, then remember that you don't need to. Your GP can refer you to someone to help with anxiety. Many GP practices in the UK now have clinical psychologist associated with them, who are experienced in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often a very good remedy for such problems.





In the meantime, best of luck, it is something that can very much be helped, even if it often doesn't seem like that in the moment.
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.
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
drink tea and relax





:%26gt; peace

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.
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...........
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
tell urself u'll create wad u fear. n try to think of e opposite.
i to have anxiety but with help from your doc you can get over it there is no quick way but you will get better

good luck and remember you will get over this
Drink!
