Franklin, Don't take yourself so seriously. What if you began to laugh at all the things you feared? Try that. Take one fear at a time and laugh at it. "Oh, Silly me. There's that fear again. So what. I can function in spite of it." It will get better, Franklin. We've all been terrifed of our thoughts. It's a depressing situation at first but it doesn't have to be. You will look back at this later and understand. Be compassionate toward yourself. There is never any reason to beat yourself up. Say only kind and soothing things to yourself and remember that you are talking to your inner child. How do you talk to any child, Franklin? That's how you talk to yourself. You'll make it. Never give up.
"Life is not about comfort. It is about living." Dr. Howard Liebgold
