If you panic each time, you travel further than a few miles away from home you will need to check your imagination to make sure you have reality in check. You will also need to find comfort in your discomfort to get rid of anxiety and panic. This applies to mild and extreme cases; those of you feeling comfortable can turn to advice on other fears.

If you feel uncomfortable talking into answering machines, you may want to explore your mind to learn why. This is one of my problems, often because it frustrates me that I cannot talk to a person. I have many reasons and issues to overcome to battle this problem myself, so what I recommend to you is exploring why, when, and what.












Do you find it difficult to meet people for the first time? I had this problem, and it was major big. Often I would panic and feel anxious when a new person came along. What I did may not work for you, but hey, I will give it to you anyway. First, I was brought up by a paranoid schizophrenia that punished me while talking to other people, and forbidden me from getting to know others. I had to drop the wall my father's disease planted in my mind. Thus, learn to tell self it is safe and that you have permission to meet anyone you like. Remember, most people meeting you are nervous too, therefore relate, and associate.

If you feel uncomfortable while walking alone, again you want to check your imagination for reality to see if true danger is present. If you feel uncomfortable in crowds, consider at some point in time you will be in crowds, thus learning to feel comfortable with your discomfort can help.

If you can go to a restaurant or movie alone without worrying, read about how to cope and understand fear of what you are afraid of, instead of taking advice on the topic. If you feel comfortable on a first date, thus you relate to your discomforts well. Remember, most of us are uneasy on any first date, but it is how you deal with it that determines your level of anxiety and panic. Just be you and you will do well.
