If you could stand tall and face your fears head on, knowing you couldn’t lose; how would that empowerment change your life?

It is a well know fact within the mental health fraternity that fear is an emotional that seldom realises the perceived outcomes. It’s an emotion, often based on a self expression, lacking substantially from external reference or factual input, of a succession of unknown facts and perceived outcomes; seldom based on fact.

Fear is known to be the catalyst for doubt, anxiety, depression and a raft of debilitating medical issues that, left unresolved, at best deprives the individual of a satisfying life, at it’s worst is the contributing factor for a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide has no answers, only life has answers.

This is Mental Health Week. What can you do to improve your mental health, or the mental health of someone else?

If you could face your fears head on, knowing that you couldn’t lose, how would that empowerment change your life?

Anyone who does not experience daily persecution can not judge the fear, and the courage of those of us who live trans always.

I realize this is a crossdressing site by and large, but I do not hold that against anyone. Inference, however, is a gravely dishonerable and cowardly insult.

Anyone who thinks all fear can be over come has never been tested nor tested themself. Trans hatred can be very active and very physical. I have had to learn to take each day as it comes. Fear is not creating my problems from the far left extrremists, or from low life bogans. They are terrorizing me. Vilification is an awful thing, and it IS extremely fearful. Would you be afraid of soccer mums infering you are a pedophile? Would you be afraid of women making appalling displays of aggression against you every day? Would you be afraid of being discriminated from government run tertiary education by the very feminist pigs who’ve been railing against discrimination for decades?

I am. I’m afraid.

whimsical approaches do not work when you are the real deal, you just have to thrash and kick and claw your way through.

if you don’t want to help against the femininazis then you don’t have to comment. They have enough sychophants. I’m appealing only to true transsexuals and those who get it.

Fear is a difficult thing.

Whilst there is some truth to the idea that FEAR stands for False Evidence ( unsubstantiated facts or beliefs) Appearing Real. For our community sometimes it is real evidence. The reality in which we live is that although legally and technically we are all equal, society does not treat us this way. Every thing we do has some consequence.

Also, It is not so easy to just wish the fear away. There are plenty of people who have irrational fears and then a number of them are aware that their fear is irrational. Knowing that their fear is irrational does nothing to make it go away.
I don’t consciously choose to feel fear. If I could my life would be a lot more different.

It’s hard to know why people have fears. Perhaps its some instilled behavior when we are children, being told what is good and bad and the punishment that is associated with bad behavior. Perhaps it’s a confidence issue, where sometimes we see people do things as routine and we find it difficult to start the same simple task in fear we cannot find or pursue and end. I don’t know the answer to this complex behavioral trait and there are better people than me with doctorates that have explored and written about this.
I am glad there are professionals that can provide strategies to overcome some fears and allow people to grow into valuable souls that contribute to the mixed fabric of society. From my perspective all I can and must do is to continue to foster good will and encourage others.
