@sb6088 You are not alone. At first I was terrified and having panic attacks every day for 4 months. I knew I was in trouble and the only way out was surgery. I’m an artist and was loosing the ability to hold my arms up and control them. With that, I would loose the ability to do my paintings that I had trained for and worked for so many years doing what I love to do the most. I guess the choice was love or fear, and I put love first and worked on understanding and deprogramming my fear. I wasn’t born being fearful so it was learned from my experiences and I decided to “unlearn” the fear. The day I asked myself why I was doing this by letting fear run away with me was the day I took steps to change that story. You can do it if you want it, and it will change you and free you for the rest of your life.

You can start by writing down your fears, and then start asking yourself why you feel that way and what happened, and how did you think about it. Is there another way to look at the past and draw a different conclusion?
