How do you stop being afraid and just let go?

Q: Whether it is starting a new job/career or a relationship, how does a person just stop getting caught up in their own personal fear?

A: “EXISTENTIAL ANGST” Give up grasping for meaning, purpose, certainty, and perminence… and you’ll become awake, liberated, and free to live life through its infinitely small successive moments of now… through which things clear up in the process of life itself.You’ll rediscover the simplicity of life in which the journey becomes a sublime wonder… and the destination merely a way point of interest.Moments of joy and soro come and go as dandelion pods on a light breeze… and suffering ceases to be suffering in the ordinary sence… but rather a sublime existential wonder. A wonder that one exists at all.One now knows without knowing how one knows, and can live freely without irrational fears in a world of uncertainty, in which everything is mutually interdependant and mutually created.Life becomes easy.The things you use to obsess about have now become petty as you’ve come to experience life through a larger more significant view of reality.As such, irrational moments go as fast as they came. And life has become simple, fulfilling, a wonder, and a joy to be alive.”DAMN”… I’m out of coffee!!!!e7.2521.

How do you “let go” and stop being afraid if you’re a naturally stressed person?

Q: I’ve been a stressed and nervouse person my entire life. Nothing has to be happening for me to get stressed. It’s really effecting my life now to the point of not being functional.I don’t have health care insurance.Thanks in advance.

A: I am the exact same way, and feel very bad for you, I know how you feel, I have very bad anxiety attacks, and panic. It’s bad you don’t have any insurance, but, i’ve been there, too. I do have it, now, but, hate going to the doctor. Here are some things i’ve found help me, without having to see anyone…..1. Get some Benadryl capsules, same thing that is in sleep meds., i’ve taken it plenty of times, if I felt like I was going to flip out, they are cheap, and have a calming effect, safe to take, can buy over the counter, 2 dollars, around that, for a box.2. Seriously, try to talk yourself out of being stressed, think about the positive things in your life, instead of all the negatives.3. Try to find someone to listen to you, I always call my aunt, it really helps to get it off your chest!4. I’ve done this, make a list of all the positive things in your life, it really does work, makes me feel better….Hope I helped, hope you start feeling better, I know how you feel, life can be rough, hang in there…..Isabella!

Is anyone else out there afraid to let their child go to daycare?

Q: I am terrified to let my four year old son go to daycare/babysitter/school/etc. The only person that has ever watched him is my parents, and that is not often. He never spends the night, on his own accord. I just love him so much and feel that NOBODY could watch him like i do. Who would be as protective as his mother?? He is everything to his dad and I. I am scared to death that i would let him and something would happen to him. I already dread kindergarten. I know alot of it stems from being such an insecure child myself. I know he needs more time with other kids, but it is a real phobia that i am going to let him out of my sight and something bad is going to happen to him. Any ideas and has anyone else ever dealt with it?

A: WOW, I’m going through this right now. My son needs speech therapy, and he’s turning three in October which means the school district will take over his education. He will have to go to preschool, and there are buses that can pick him up. You should have seen my face today when the gal (his speech therapist), told me about the buses that will come and pick him up at the front door. He will only be gone for a couple of hours, (after he starts school when he turns three), but the anxiety in me raised up, and my fear of letting him go is taking over me. Only my mom has watched my son, even over night. I have a couple of friends here, but no one I will leave my son with. One of my friends offered to watch my son over night while my husband and I went off on an overnight stay at a resort…I said to myself…OH NO…and I never took her up on her offer. I can’t even leave him with her for a few hours because like you said…no one will care for your child as much as you do. No one will think of things like you would. With letting your child go to daycare, a lot of separation anxiety comes from the parents. My son’s speech therapist was a preschool teacher and she told me that even the kids that are clingy to their parents end up ok within the first 10 minutes. The key is to make the goodbyes short and sweet, and let them know that you’ll pick them up when school is over. My gut turned and is still turning. I’m afraid of letting my son be in the hands of someone else. Someone else will be in charge of my son’s life/well being. That scares me. Even my husband. But my son needs this and I have to be strong enough to let him go and explore. My parents live out of state, and we don’t have family here that is convenient to help us. We don’t even have an emergency contact if the school can’t get a hold of us. How is that going to work out? I’m glad I read your question and I’m glad I’m not the only one having these thoughts. I don’t have any ideas for you, I’m sorry. But I am feeling the same way you are. I’m getting ready to face my fear come the end of October/beginning November and if you’d like to contact me and ask me how I’m dealing with it then, please feel free to do so. 🙂 Take care…
