Answer 2

When I want to combat any fears I have, I just imagine myself in that situation..and unable to escape for any reason.  If I were scared of elevators, I'd FANTASIZE... yes FANTASIZE about being LOCKED in an elevator with no way to escape.  Then just imagine all kinds of horrible things, like snakes being dropped on you while you're in there, and spiders, and all kinds of things that you don't like...assuming you don't like spiders and snakes already.

Fantasize about people laughing at you while you're on the floor, screaming with spiders crawling all over you in an elevator you can't escape.  Then imagine yourself screaming from the depths of your soul, and while this might sound strange.... add a sexual charge to it.  I know, I know, why would you want to?  But try to.  Really try to take it from that point into a sexual fantasy.  Once you can come out of all that with the spiders, snakes, s*x, and being locked in an elevator by some s****t who wants to watch you suffer sexually in your fantasy, you might find yourself being turned on by the idea of going in elevators.  This does work.  I used this method to lose the fear of going to h**l.  Now I've had my mind time-locked in a psychotic fury of h**l and Death from which I thought I wouldn't be able to escape.  I lay on my bed and my heart pounded in my chest like I've never experienced.  It literally felt like something was kicking me in the chest from the inside.  My mind was locked in h**l, and the only thing screaming in my mind was "YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK!"  Which just made the mindlock even worse.  However, even in that state, I noticed a pattern.  The one word breaking the pattern was "relax," so I focused on that and brought myself down.  That whole ordeal was like having your mind backed totally against a corner with no way to think yourself out of it.  I thought I was going to be like that forever, and man was it scary!

Anyway, these types of imaginings have helped me combat many of my fears, though not those particular ones you mentioned.  The fears I've combated have more to do with mental exploration.  There were areas of my own mind I was scared to explore (the OH GOD DON'T THINK LIKE THAT!!!! areas), and by forcing myself into those areas, many, MANY fears have been exorcised from me, and yet I maintain the peace of mind and awareness of man's laws to be as wise as a serpent, but as harmless as a dove.  I'm just so damned happy when I'm out that I don't know what to do with it all.  It's bursting to come forth, but most people seem depressed.  Since I'm reactive, and not proactive, you get out of me what you put in, unless I start the conversation...or unless something spontaneous happens that causes me to explode with bubbles into your heart.  But I can't force it.  If you don't need it, it won't come out of me.  When people try to force that kind of love, that's when you get pissed off and want them to go away and leave you alone.  Your higher perceptions feel their intent, which is to "do things" to make you happy so you won't look so depressed to them.  Don't fall for it.  Tell them to go away.

Yeah, I've been afraid of lightning since I was little. I'm always afraid it will like, reach into a window and kill me or something! Or it will just go through the roof of my house and strike me dead. Stupid irrational fears!  

Answer 10

The fear comes from our imagination. We make it real, like Mary Shelly created Frankenstein.I suggest to see Vertigo (A.Hitchcock,1958)

The only way to get rid of your fear: you have to face it!
