overcome fear with knowledge

That which we do not comprehend... Ignorance... can be the cause of tremendous fear. Through knowledge and faith we can overcome our fears.

- Firstly, a method of releasing or handling the subconscious "hurt memories" which have been stored. - Secondly, developing self-confidence to deal with the actual situation which triggers the fear. - Thirdly, developing new responses to express the emotions that are felt when the situation recurs.

People have done this time in and time out of the day. Hell, I do this sometimes now just to make sure or to keep myself secure. The only way to keep you away from these thoughts is just to let go. The exposure you had is now over with and no consequences came out of it. What's done is done and test results never lie. The internet is a bad place for information because just about everyone has the ability to post anything and let people accept it as legit information.

Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.

I had a potential exposure a while back and have tested right throughout the window period but cannot shake my fear regardless of my negative results. It's almost as if every thought I have is shadowed by worry. I know it's anxiety as i've been through this before with heart worries, cancer and ruptured arteries... which I also got tested for. I thought I would have learned to deal with it by now. Any advice is much appreciated.

I had a traumatic experience when I was a young child which left me with the fear of uncontrolled bleeding. I have attempted to overcome this fear through therapy and work in medical and dental offices. However, it returns to paralyze me at times. I need a molar extracted due to an abcess and the fear of bleeding has returned. I have had extractions in the past and obviously I survived but the anxiety continues to be huge.

at you, but first of all, you are definitely not alone in your experience with this. Second, you can confront this and deal with it quite successfully. As with any problem, the more knowledge we gain about it, the easier it becomes to deal with....keep us posted!

I have been going to therapy and my therapist has been really helpful with me in dealing with my fear of death. First we have to accept the fact that we have a fear and accept that is all it is a FEAR.....We have to learn to not give into the fear because then we spend our lives freaking out over everything and we don't live, we worry. One of the things that my therapist has me do is write my fears down in a journal and it does help. Just getting them out helps.

Hello --I am an OCD sufferer who has worked hard to overcome HIV fears, but every once in a while I get really overcome by fear. I had a small fresh scrape on the side of my hand that was reddish and a smear of blood. At some point I washed my hands. I forgot about it, did not put a bandaid on it. I then went to a party where I meet and shook hands with several new people. One guy shook my hand pretty hard, twice. Another guy had his leg bandaged up for cellulitis.

a therapist trained in anxiety/panic and depression issues will give you the knowledge......because knowledge is power........... AND the tools to overcome these attacks. Please seriously consider some therapy to end this nasty unpaved road you're on. Take your life back!

Hi Salvo, congratulations on your SVR! I believe when monitoring AFP for HCC, they look mostly for levels that are not just a little elevated, but elevated and continuing to elevate, so one test that was higher than normal probably would just pique their interest to test again sooner.

m just the typical college student who suffers from anxiety as a bio premed major with a heavy work load. Originally ive went 2 months with non presistant headaches. Next I went two additional months of limbs tingling and numbing, and extreme nervousness. Sometime I have to walk out of the class room to calm down a bit. Now ive been dealing with a non stop 2 months of belching, heartburn, and discomfort. Took prilosect for it and it helped until the 14 day dose was finished.

I've suffered on an off with anxiety and some of it, most of it pretty severe, usually brought on by big life changes. When this happens I'm paralyzed by fear and can't deal with even the simplest things much less the more important things such as work. I've been on medication on and off for about 20yrs and I realize now that I will be needing more than that to help me overcome this debilitating illness, therapy and lots of it.

Hi again officer Amber! I cannot stress enough how amazing you've done!!!! You REALLY don't give yourself enough credit! Look at how far you've gotten and all you've overcome! From the fear of going in the very first day for training, to muddling THROUGH the training despite some rough anxious days, to now two months on the job!!!! That's incredible!!! I think you need to focus on the fact that you DO have anxiety, and you WILL from time to time have bad days.

I have vertigo looking down. Have done the Epley maneuver several times. The vertigo is still there. Along with this vertigo, which I've had incidents of daily for about two week, I have a stuffed or dull feeling in my head, and low energy. . Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

We have an HIV forum here at Medhelp. Have you posted your question there yet? You've had all the tests you need and so did your partner. Of course you know you don't have HIV. I do understand that this can be a huge fear for some people and hard to believe you don't have it even when all of the tests say you absolutely do not. If you can't get over your fear I would recommend seeing a counselor to help you with this.

) I was finally able to break the fear that crippled me for easily a decade. After a month I was able to predict when I would get an attack (geeze the timing of these things was so rythmic after thumbing through weeks of notes) and with that knowledge I didn't fear the anxiety anymore....I allowed it to happen because I knew...

In my experience, this does wonders in learning why you are thinking the way you do. Knowledge about this, is a VERY powerful way to overcome this.

ve tried to overcome the fear with little success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
