Hey Simm, that is totally kickin'. I'm a firm believer of where the mind goes, the man often follows. It's proven to be true with many emets here. We have a comfort zone when we feel fear, so we assume since it's all about how we feel (it's not!), we should stay in those zones. You're telling yourself things that remind you you can overcome this, and it could take some time; take it from me as I am in recovery for three years now. There's no one solution, or one size fits all, but telling yourself you can when your feelings may or may not say otherwise is a great start.

Rock on!
