This requires certain self-control, though. First, you have to realize that you are thinking about something that is scary or unpleasant. This is probably the most difficult part. Second, once you have realized that, you consciously "tell" yourself to stop and actively pick other subject for your brain to ramble around and elaborate on. Keep doing this step as long as you "caught" yourself at unpleasant thinking. Third, if you find difficult to pick a "safe" subject to think about, start doing something in real life: do a workout, wash dished with your hands, or go peek weeds in your backyard. While doing whatever you are doing - think of how to do whatever you are doing in the most efficient manner. Current state of affairs: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Russian warship, go f#ck yourself! Say with me: Palianytsia :) |

Quoting: Blue State Rebel moderate to high dose ssri - makes fear go away you have to figure out which one gives the least side effects zoloft is a good one to ask your doctor about. It works for a lot of peeps I know. lexapro seems to work for a lot, too. You can tell within a week to three weeks if the fear factor is getting less and less. When you and your doctor decide, you can try stopping the medication. I know a lot of people who have taken an ssri for a year and then quit with little trouble. Some have fear come back when they quit, so they just continue taking the med. I would only go this route if your fear is debilitating. If fear messes up daily functioning then pharma intervention makes sense, but always talk to your doctor. I am not a medical doctor, so please do not take this as medical advice. Just presenting things you can discuss with your doctor. |

Quoting: ScrumpTheTexan The answer is to TRUST GOD and rely on Him... that’s what I do, and He’s seen me through more “certain doom” situations than I can count, and I’m better today for having gone through them. Right On ... Give it to the Lord in Prayer ... read the Bible for Comfort ... Do what You can do to be ready spiritually and physically ..! It's all Foretold in the Bible ..!

Fear is very potent, like you occasionally read of people who are told they have cancer and they are going to die, so they duly die and then are found to be clear of the disease. That’s why I love your President Trump so much because he might have his faults but he undeniably has a positive attitude. |

User ID: 76946058 United States 03/29/2020 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is so true. Quoting: Blue State Rebel Now that we are in a time of fear, anticipation and planning, the thing we have most to control is our own FEAR. None of us know what is really going on, all of us are afraid. It's natural. But we MUST be able to control our fear because FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER. It prevents us from doing what we have to do to survive. Be aware that Fear is a warning that something is wrong, that we are threatened...but don't give in to it. If we do, we cannot plan any protections for ourselves nor envision the future. FROM DUNE: “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” Avoidance is not a way to control fear, so you must be able to face the facts. Fear isn't the issue, avoidance and denial is. Once you accept the facts, you can make plans. The risk this virus presents is perfectly mitigatable of you plan and adjust. I can see why FEAR is an issue if you fail to adjust. |

Quoting: Butch DeFeo You can CHOOSE whether you use logic or emotionn. Emotion is for retards when shit is hitting fans. :COMESFROMCHINA: Are you a robot? You must be made of stone to not feel any fear at this point. Just go outside and you can feel it in the air, on the roads, in the grocery store. There is nothing logical about any of this. LOL scared? That's exactly what they want you to be. Stop |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70963491 United States 03/29/2020 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am writing a book which covers this topic as a large chapter. YOU NEED TO FEEL WELL TO SHIELD OFF FEAR........So you must still act in self values and help yourself in a mathematical way of doing positive things and helping the mind In it, here are some bullet points. Avoid news Avoid watching negative stuff like murder, aka garbage for the mind Listen to frequencies, specifically Solfeggio 9 frequencies Also peaceful binaural beats Cold showers (anti-depressant) (just finish on super cold, can take a regular shower beforehand) Exercise and keep within your self values Meditate every day for at least 5 minutes Alternate nostril breathing for at least 5 minutes Legs elevated on wall for at least 15 minutes per day Write down a gratitude list....the emotion of gratitude is a combat to fear. So is love. Write down what you are grateful for on a clean sheet of paper. Finally here is one of the most important parts: CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS AND BE MINDFUL OF YOUR THOUGHTS............choose which outlook to have and let it be a positive one. Accept that there may be a world of doom one day coming, but it will still be OK, YOU will be OK. Come to terms with that, in the end, whatever is going to happen that you can't control, will happen, but if your grateful for what you've had already and your at peace with the worst case scenerio, nothing can happen to you. Process things with Awareness, NOT EMOTION! |

Get yourself in nature Get some sunlight on the body don't engage in negative conversation read positive books write how you are feeling to declutter your mind 852 hz is a good solfeggio frequency to cleanse the mind. Focus your energy on learning something, or taking up a new interest....such as quantum mechanics, something that actually matters...but that you are interested in. BREATHE! Clear your mind. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76238968 United States 03/29/2020 02:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great thread OP I believe the magnitude of this so-called virus is all manufactured by the Deep State for their sinister End game Agenda. There are so many things happening that don't make logical sense in any way.For example 6 feet apart from people but yet all lakes,campgrounds and BLM lands are all closed. This is Divide and Conquer perfected by Dark Forces. On the Polar opposite is this Biblical scripture. 2nd Timothy 1:7 FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT,GOD'S GIFT,DOES NOT WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID OF PEOPLE,BUT TO BE WISE AND STRONG,AND TO LOVE THEM AND ENJOY BEING WITH THEM. The Dark Forces are turning us against each other. Lastly,for me Bible reading and listening to praise songs on YouTube help me immensely. |

We can eat the herbs and vegetables. I don't have much room for plants, but I like to put up an herb garden each Spring, so hopefully I'll do that. Some herbs are particularly good for the immune system too, like Parsley. A simple plan, but very very healthy. |
