I have lots of fears that I want to overcome. To name a few, fear of travelling alone, injections, dark and lots more. I am trying to cope with it as much as possible. What do you do to cope up with your fears? I just want to know to get some piece of advice.

I have fear of losing a friend and a loved one. I also have fear of injection before but now i had overcome it. I also have a fear in heifht, what i do is a ride on a ferris wheel and i overcome it. And i can now take an elevator because of that. I am afraid of centipedes and worm, for me seeing them is a nightmare.

Its nice to know that you overcome your fear of injections. What had you done about that? Good that you are doing something to overcome your fears.

It's hard to run away from your fears. Because sooner or later it will catch up with you and bite your behind. Usually when this happens, it's a big bite. So I would say to you the same thing I say to my kids. FACE YOUR FEARS as early as you can and you'll find out that what you're fearing is just nothing at all.

I can talk about facing your fears, but it has to be tackled one by one and it will be a LOOOONGGGG TALK. But if you're interested, just PM me. By the way, I'm not a doctor. I'm just talking from experience. I too have my fears, but I face them everyday, no matter how hard i think it is. But actually, it's not. Specially with the help of the Lord.

dealing with our anxieties is to face it head on. All of our fears are just product of our imaginations. if you are afraid of fling then ride a plane and think of why other people are flying and why not you, if you are afraid of heights ,well, it could be a very common fear but you have to climb a ladder and just think that nothing will happen.It is easier said than done but that is the only way to overcome our anxieties.

I have a fear of driving a long distance. If it is over a half an hour, I freak. My boyfriend/husband is very good to me and drives me most of the time when I need to go somewhere. But there are times when I need to drive myself. I just do it with the radio loud. This fear is a new one. I did not have this fear before we moved. If I knew the way I was fine, but now it is crazy. I wish that I new how to get over this fear.

My biggest fear of snakes. I have gone to snake shows with a friend. To help me get over the fear of snakes I let someone put a small corn snake on my hand and crawled up my arm when it got to my elbow I could not tolerate it any more. I can at least look at snakes in glass.

I have a lot of fear of things, but I do not know how to overcome them, I was afraid of taking a person in the dark streets, rain, thunder fear, fear of others do not agree with my efforts, but also afraid I will lose the most precious thing, I always have this feeling.

Healthy fears can keep us from many dangers, I would not like to risk my life in any extreme sports or things like that, and I donĀ“t like high places too much, but that is something you can get used to and come over. I have become more and more balanced since I feed my brain with Omega3 and other important fats. (see more info in my profile) It is great to just face some fears and come over them that way.

For fear of doing some, it's general. everybody has his/her own faers. fears comes when you guess the outcome maybe unpleasant or not the one you wish. one thing to overcome fear is to get positive attitude of what the outcome maybe and determine to do it with the support of prayer if you're a believer. you should predict a success of your venture and all fear will vanish.

Since I was I child, I have this fear of travelling anywhere. My parents usually take some of my cousins and friends for me to enjoy talking with them while we were on our long trip to somewhere else. And in this way, I may forget even for some minutes my fears of travelling.

yes, I do have some fears. let me make a list: 1. fear of ghost or something like that. 2. fear of height but I really want to try bungee jumping at least once in my life. 3. fear of animal such as caterpillar, centipeda , worm & cockroach. sometimes I try to deal it like I wanna try bungee jumping. but last night when I found centipeda in my living room, I began paranoid. I wasn't sleeping last night until 01.30 am because I scared there were another centipeda in my bed room. I just can not deal with that thing.
