Instructions
Step 1
Analyze why you have a fear of everything? Most likely, you have experienced some kind of traumatic situation and cannot recover from the shock experienced. Having understood what exactly is happening to you, it will be easier for you to outline ways of dealing with this problem.
Step 2
Think, are you really afraid of everything? For example, are you afraid of people, animals, various natural phenomena, are you afraid to go out, fly on airplanes, ride an elevator or a car? Take a blank sheet of paper, divide it into two columns, in one of them write down what really scares you, in the other - what does not make you feel afraid. Compare both columns, which one is larger? Most likely, the fears actually turn out to be less than you imagined before.
Step 3
Do not forbid yourself to experience a feeling of fear, try to abstract yourself and try to observe it from the outside. When does it appear? Where does it come from? How strong is this feeling? Just by observing your obsessive thoughts, you will already put a kind of barrier to them, and very soon they will simply leave you.
Step 4
Work with each of your fears separately, analyze the causes of this or that fear, outline specific ways to get rid of the emotions tormenting you. In the fight against fears, use the method of small steps, praise yourself for every minimal success.
Step 5
Establish connections between your fears. For example, you are afraid of strangers and afraid to go out. You can consider these two fears separately from each other, although they are closely related and have one common problem. Fears united in one subgroup can be dealt with using the same methods.
Step 6
Do not withdraw into yourself, look for like-minded people, people suffering from similar problems or experienced and coped with a similar situation. Remember that you are not alone in your grief, millions of people experience various fears and phobias. When communicating with others, do not be afraid to talk about your problem, do not hesitate to ask for help if you feel the need for it.
Step 7
Get distracted from the fears that torment you, do not cultivate them in yourself, get creative or find some interesting business. Sometimes it is enough to change the environment or get carried away by some interesting activity for depression and fears to recede.
Step 8
Refuse everything that can contribute to the frustration of your personality: do not watch criminal news bulletins, do not communicate with overly suspicious anxious people, etc., do meditation and yoga.
