Re: how to overcome fear?
Face your panic.
The more you ignore it the more it builds up until you actually have a panic attack.
When you start to feel anxious, practice breathing techniques.
If that doesn't help (it should) then take note of your panic and ALLOW it to overcome you.
It sounds like the stupidest thing to do in that situation but if you are brave enough, you'll find the panic will rise abit, then drop away sharply.
In a nutshell: When you feel the fear, try to increase the panic. Nothing will happen
