Identify exactly what you're afraid of. Write down all of your fears. Analyze the liklihood of each feared event actually happening. Often, when we put words to our fears, and honestly analyze them, they start looking kind of silly, instead of terrifying.
Example:
I'm home alone, and it's dark!
What are my real fears?
Well, maybe something bad will "get me"!
Has something bad "gotten someone" in this house before?
Well, no.
Have I read or heard about people disappearing, or being eaten in the neighborhood?
Well, no.
Have I seen the remains of partly eaten or "gotten" people?
No.
If something less scary and more real like a person tried to get into the house, have I locked the doors?
Yes.
Could I call for help?
Yes.
Is there any particular reason a person would want to come here and hurt me? Have I ratted on any mafia guys, or did I witness a murder?
No.
I guess that means I've done what I can, so I'll just pay attention to my surroundings, and keep a phone handy, but it's not going to keep me from calling a friend to talk, watching TV, or reading a book.

Go to: www.relax7.com/7.php and view the techniques and links in the blogs of Shan Eris on "tackling depression" at www.myspace.com and then type "fear" and "scared" separately in the bar near the top of the myspace homepage. What are you scared of? Start a course in self defence; the mental control techniques and confidence you gain will be invaluable assets in future. Lock the doors and windows now, and put the radio on talkback; maybe phone someone and have a chat, or join an internet chatroom.

What's got you so frightened?
The most helpful thing is to pray first, read my bible, call my sponsor, talk with my husband and remember that this too shall pass.
And then sometimes I succumb to a big old plate of spaghetti.
