EXCELLENT ADVICE pamela! I have tried this and I still do it. Except it doesn't really help! For instance. What if i go crazy, i'll go to the ward, be medicated, scream a lot (or so i tell myself i will), lose my family (which i wouldn't, very supportive), i would lose my job, get disability and ssi, my wife would have to graduate faster (LOL) and support the baby and her and that would really bother me. i think a core fear i have is that i will lose my mind and not be able to support my family. So, after i think to the core,,,i don't find any RATIONAL fears! just a stupid ocd trick. like my psych says...it's all smoke and mirrors!
