Hey Candy,
Now this may sound really dumb but just stick with me. The way my anxiety has been going down and down recently is because I have just given in to it. I said to my brain, 'Think your worst, go on, try and make me scared' and all of a sudden I wasn't as afraid anymore. I think a lot of it has to do with how we react to losing control so if we consciously choose to let go of our control and then realise that nothing bad will happen it could go a long way to reducing the FEAR. I'll bet you're really sick of it and I really feel for you that you have it so my advice is, whatever your fear is just acknowledge it, and give into the fact that you're fearing it. Just always remember what you're fearing will probably never happen. I had an obsessive fear of hurting my mum, and have had it for 9 months. So now 9 months down the track, if I had really wanted to do harm to her, I would have done it a long time ago. Try and keep it in perspective and don't let it rule your life and just knowing that you are in control will make you feel inifinitely times happier. Stay safe and have fun.
Cheers,
Peter
