I recently got into a bad car accident. Some guy wasn’t paying attention at a red light and slammed into the back of my car. Now I have a strong fear of driving. I cant even get into a car w/o having a panic attack. I always have to get someone else to drive me everywhere. What should I do to get over my fear?

How does one ameliorate these fears? It seems, unless you have heroin, there is no easy way to go. How can one make it less anxiety provoking and more peaceful?

May sound stupid, but one of the things I have been considering is Army Airborne. The problem is I have a problem with heights. I can not just get over it. Just being really high up makes me freeze and I can’t help it. I don’t know why, that is just how I am. How can I get over this fear of heights (no sarcastic answers please, I know a lot of no-lifers out there are trolling the military section for some reason).

I’m looking for an inspirational or motivational quotes, it doesn’t necessarily have to be about diabetes, but that’s what i plan using it for. …some examples might be "Live each day like it’s your last" or "pain is temporary pride is forever"
Thanks!

I have taken many airplane rides, and was never overly worried. Well, 3 years ago, on my way back from hawaii (we were over the ocean), the plane nearly went down. it was tramatizing, and now that flight has brought on panic attacks every time that I fly. It basically ruins my vacations. How can I conquer this fear?

I’ve always been afraid to do it because its not me. It’s not who I am. I’m a kind person. But I’ll always have conflict with someone because people think they can walk all over me. Who do I change myself to become a fighter?

Im 26 almost 27 years old. I live on my own, am single and have a ok job. Not the best, but I get by. However, I dont have a car since I dont have my license yet. I plan on getting it this coming year. I have procrastinated on it too long and I realize it must be done! I live in the city and ride the metro but I hate it. Ive realized my career choices are limited if I dont obtain one. :/ I just don’t want to struggle anymore. So how can I build up my confidence in driving, so I can finally conquer my fears of this?
I accidentally put it under aircraft. Lol Instead of transportation I see. But thanks for the advice.

I am thinking about the school market in terms of posters and not sure about the greeting card idea. I seem to be able to put motivational and funny quotes with my original photographs pretty well, and wondered if there is a market for them. I am a former teacher, and I was always trying to find new original posters to spiff up my classroom each year. Thanks!

I was lying in bed and delving into my imagination. I started thinking of the worst thing imaginable that could happen, right there, in the moment. I literally got scared for a second. My heart started racing and then all of a sudden I changed my thought process and my heart slowed down. I basically conquered my fear through an altered perception. Then I started to wonder if you could actually do this in real life situation. If fear is just a perception we have of something then can’t we change our perceptions and lose our fear? Can we train ourselves to accept death in the eye of fate and calmly kick the bucket?
I didn’t completely change my focus. I was still thinking about it, but it a different way. Instead of being scared of it I accepted it. Then I basically thought about it without being scared of it the next time.
I beg to differ, fear can kill you. If you fell through the ice, your first instinct is to panic and squirm and flail, consequently wasting your energy and losing any change of actually surviving your impending doom. Take someone who has conquered fear. They fall through the ice, alter their perception of what is going on and start thinking critically on what to do to survive. Fear distorts your rationality.
