Hi sbreeze

I’m glad that you are feeling much better now! That’s very kind of you to say.

Personally, I don’t see emotions as the problem.

Often, we become afraid of things due to traumatic past experiences. Humans are great at pattern recognition, so when something bad happens we look for similar scenarios. It is very difficult to live life constantly on guard.

I like to write down the outcomes of situations that I am afraid of, this helps by providing evidence to combat my fears.

I believe that coming to terms with traumatic past experiences and learning to control how we respond when emotions occur are important. Any actions we take are more important than the emotions themselves.

It’s good that you have found your own way of dealing with these things.
