A Layman's Guide to Managing Fear

What do you do when someone you know has to deal with persistent

fears, anxieties, or even depression? Well the first thing you

need to do is to get the person to seek the services of a

professional who can lead them in the right direction and give

them the help they need. In addition, here are some other

techniques you can use to help the person cope.

Learn as much as you can in managing anxiety and depression.

There are many books and information that will educate you on how

to deal with fear and anxiety. Share this information with the

person who is struggling. Education is the key in finding the

answers your looking for in managing your fears.

Be understanding and patient with the person struggling with

their fears. Dealing with depression and anxiety can be difficult

for the person so do not add more problems than what is already

there.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn

what works, what doesn't work, and what you need to improve on in

managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a lot

of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel better.

The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself that you

got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will give you

the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time around.

Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and

realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make your

fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself

questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense. For

example, you are afraid that if you do not get that job promotion

then you will be stuck at your job forever. This depresses you,

however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact

of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and

just because you don't get this job promotion doesn't mean that

you will never get one. In addition, people change jobs all the

time, and you always have that option of going elsewhere if you

are unhappy at your present location. Changing your thinking can

help you manage your fears.

Another thing to remember is that things change and events do not

stay the same. For instance, you may feel overwhelmed today with

your anxiety and feel that this is how you will feel the rest of

the week or month. This isn't correct. No one can predict the

future with one hundred percent accuracy. Even if the thing that

you feared does happen there are circumstances and factors that

you can't predict which can be used to your advantage. You never

know when the help and answers you are looking for will come to

you.

When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, seek help

from a professional. The key is to be patient, take it slow, and

not to give up. In time, you will be able to find those resources

that will help you with your problems.
