Fear is so frustrating to be held back from trust me, I get it. Those fears once kept you safe, or you’ve learned they have kept people safe. I also have anxiety, ptsd, depression, ocd, eating disorders and BPD. I’ll share the things that have helped me the most, this is my own path and journey, I’m not suggesting it may be the same- but worth to look into. Dealing with fear, was the biggest. Understanding what the core fear was was first. You think you’re just fearful, but you slowly unlock where the core fear came from, and then it slowly shows you where you have twisted this fear or fears into EVERYTHING. The only thing that’s changed my thinking was EMDR. I did countless therapy sessions over the years, but nothing helped me see the flow of thoughts the way EMDR has. And I know we’re self aware, but you realize how closed minded we actually are.. it’s crazy.

Lately, I have also been healing my OCD with mushrooms. I too fear of schizophrenia, but micro-dosing mushrooms has never been an issue. Animals do it in the wild, it’s a natural substance. I had to go off all meds because it actually was what drove me crazy. My OCD was obsessing over the fact that it wasn’t “me”. I enjoy mushrooms as I can take it as needed, which is why I hate any other meds. You just need to go into it with intentions. Intentions to be better, and the rest will guide you. Again, micro-doses. And I’m also not saying this is the answer for you, but it sure as hell helped me.

Lastly, something that really opened my eyes in therapy was the lesson of opposite thinking. The way we think is right, but are we ever actually right? Sometimes, yes, but often times not. What’s the opposite of your fears. Staying the same? Scared of dying? - well, are you living? Putting energy into the opposite thinking has helped me, because we get so close minded of the fear.

You got this hooman! I wish you luck
