Fear paralyzes life.

Fear is a very ancient feeling and it is useless to fight with it. When fear takes over, it affects the whole nervous system. It is impossible to think rationally being in this state. The proliferating fear experienced over and over again makes one paralyzed. The whole world becomes a threat. It can go as far as panic attacks. It is absolutely impossible to cope with this feeling alone. You need the support of loved ones who may point you in the right direction. It can be a challenge for them (to support and reassure). It is also necessary to show the person a way to free her/his mind of obsessive thoughts. To explain that there’s no matter what you're afraid of, it is just a defense and hiding mechanism. Any fear always comes from an intrapersonal conflict.
