Do this sober and by sober I mean no medication that affects your mood such as anti-depressants, that's right if you're depending on medication then stop using it, if you feel it is too but I mean too dangerous then check with a 'health care professional' and tell him or her you want to come of them if they don't want to assist you find somebody else who does care about your well being...why am I saying this, well if you didn't know anti-depressants actually make you worse, yes they feel nice however it is the same principle as narcotics. You can already create happy chemicals in your brain. When you take drugs that alter this natural process then eventually your brain will think 'well I'm getting the happy chemical externally therefore I don't need to produce it anymore' and that's when you need a higher dose... same goes for any other type of medication such as histamine (allergy remedies) etc. (Natural products don't alter the brain this way, however they may also cause a placebo effect and you may become dependant on it too, a healthy diet is the best form of health) So slowly come off them, better slow then not at all.
This method involves hypnosis.
First we need to clear some myths about hypnosis. What you've seen on TV or in shows where the hypnotist is in control of that person is fake; you are in most control when you are hypnotised if a hypnotist tells you to do something you will only do it if you choose to. Hypnosis is quite simply two things: deep relaxation, like meditation, and vivid imagination. Whenever you are dozed off daydreaming you are giving yourself hypnotic suggestions.
Good, now YOU NEED TO BE BRAVE
By brave i don't mean put up with your feelings no no no, you must confront your fear if your anxiety is in regards to nothing in particular then you fear fear so.... have a panic attack induce it ASK for it desire it and go through it; you think you'll have a heart attack, well you won't and the fear of death is far worse than a fear of not living a full life. If your fear is in regards to an object or specie you don't have to go to it and touch it you can just use hypnotic method (described later on). If your fear is in regards to death, losing control or an entity that you can't even see then first remember, the fear of death is worse than death itself, don't fear the inevitable at least be thankful that you are alive TODAY there are millions of people who aren't and didn't even make it to your age.
Now open notepad, if you found anything that made you feel good up until now of what I've written then copy and paste this is very important for later on.
Nugget of wisdom.

Now if you found the above exercise too difficult think 'for what it's worth'.
With NLP people have gotten rid of phobias is under 20 minutes so don't give up. Here we go.
Whatever your fear is, brainstorm thoughts that have made you feel good in regards to that fear as in giving you confidence or ideas that show even if it is a little bit that your fears are untrue so try this: imagine you are another person who doesn't have your problem and you are helping someone who does have your exact problem...try and convince them that there thought is faulty it is untrue and tell them why, also this other person doesn't argue back. Come up with at least 6 ideas. Write it down in notepad under 'brainstorm'.
Now what would you be doing or happening to you that would mean that your worst fears have come true. Write it down
Now this is going to be the process, don't do it yet:
- You're going to face your worst fear in visualisation so imagine that you have already lived it whatever it is and now you are fine if it is something that you don't know whether it can happen to you, you fear it might happen to you and you have no control over it then ask for it demand for it, want it to happen to you, you will have a realisation that it was in fact an irrational thought (since nothing happened) all along; by the way it is ok if you feel extremely anxious while doing this.
- You're going to relax, if this is a problem for you then try this, imagine that just as an experiment you're going to try it out.
- From a list that you're going to write and memorize you're going to imagine, visualize and live those thoughts.
- You will visualize more ideas to boost your confidence immensely.
The list
The part you wrote down under 'brainstorm'
Think of all the compliments you've gotten in your life, pick the best 6-10.
Think of 3 times in the past when you were happy really happy.
You're only skeptic because you've never tried it
