How do you deal with irrational fears?!


Question: How do you deal with irrational fears.?
OK, this will sound really, really weird but I have a lot of irrational fears. Like, for instance, I'm afraid of the dark (pitch black), spiders, and other random and dumb stuff. If I see something in a movie, video game (Left 4 Dead witches scare the crud out of me! I always make my brother go first when I hear her crying), or read something in a book, then I remember it at night when the lights are turned off. I'm scared to turn off the last light at night time without someone standing next to me. When I go into the bathroom, I have to look behind the shower curtain and make sure nothing is there. Sudden noises make me jump. Please help me, I hate being so scared and feeling so stupid!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Fear is a good thing,and what you are feeling is normal.You call them irrational but there not ,basically what your brain is doing is processing your thoughts of fear to better prepare your body for a reaction.Just like a nightmare,this is your brain preparing yourself or testing yourself for a situation,that may or may-not happen-when I was young I always had dreams where I had to fight,but in my dreams I couldn't punch...But when in real life when that very situation occurred I was just fine,and being afraid of the dark is completely normal,im 34 six foot 2 and 205 pounds and im not a big fan of the dark, But whatever your fears are CHALLENGE them,just say it-say it out loud-come and get me whatever it is.And you will see nothing will get you,and you will become stronger,and just remember 85% of your worries never come true and the other 15% will come true no matter how much you worrie about them...BE STRONG-letting bad thoughts creep into your head is a sign of weakness-and your not weak YOUR-STRONG....Health Question & Answer
