Even the most brave and strong-willed person probably had to experience a feeling of fear, anxiety, uncertainty. Inexplicable, oppressive anxiety that can do great harm to the body. After all, a person who is constantly experiencing fear or anxiety does not only feel moral discomfort. He becomes vulnerable to various diseases, from a common cold to a stomach ulcer. And communication with others is not easy for him. How to be? We must try to get rid of obsessive fears.
Instructions
Step 1
Difficult as it is, try to pull yourself together and think: what is the reason for the fear or anxiety? When it first appeared, what was it connected with? What was the impetus, the "provoking factor"?
Step 2
Even if you do not immediately find the answers to these questions, do not lose heart and do not give up. Remember: if you can find the cause, your problem will be close to a solution! After all, the famous author of "Robinson Crusoe" wrote: "What we know torments us less with horror than omissions and secrets."
Step 3
If you feel an attack of fear again, try to do the following: write in detail what exactly worried you, frightened you; how you think fear or anxiety can be overcome. If there are several options for solving - describe each in detail, take your time. It will only benefit.
Step 4
Having chosen from these options the best, in your opinion, start to act on it. For all the simplicity of this technique, it is quite effective. The main thing is that by starting to reason, you will not let fear completely "take over" you. You will see for yourself that it has limits, and that the problem that torments you is not at all so terrible.
Step 5
A very good remedy for fear and anxiety is work! When a person is constantly busy with something, he simply has no time to torment himself with experiences. It is no coincidence that both doctors and psychologists have such a concept: "employment therapy".
Step 6
Also try to "shake yourself up", get angry with yourself - they say, I am an adult, independent person, but I just behave like a child! Try to draw on cold logic at the same time. Tell yourself: “Does it make me feel better that I am constantly afraid of something, nervous? Not! It only gets worse! So what the hell? Enough! I won't be afraid anymore. " Sometimes it helps a lot.
Step 7
If all of the above methods did not lead to success, then you cannot do without the help of qualified specialists.
