What I am learning about feelings is to treat them like they are big waves. If you fight the wave, it can take you under. But if you can stay calm, it will go right over you and pass you and you will come to the surface again shortly. Learn to breathe through the scary feelings, to let them pass. they will pass. the more we can be calm through them, the less they can hurt us or "take us under".
(I never said it was easy!!!) but it is worth it.
