When I was no longer afraid of heights, I was able to go up on the roof to patch up some things and fix the chimney for the fireplace
For a long time, I had a bunch of issues that I needed to have worked out. I was diagnosed with bi-polar, so that was something difficult to work with. I had to take meds for quite some time and I didn’t like that at all. I had anxiety especially in social situations. I also was afraid of things like spiders and drowning. I would never go swimming because I was afraid I might drown, even when the water in the pool was relatively shallow. I had to point out to my friends that anybody could drown even if there was only a couple of feet of water. A good friend of mine told me I needed to see a special psychiatrist who specializes in hypnotherapy. I didn’t think I could be hypnotized or that it would help, but I was wrong about that. This psychiatrist I went to see was the real deal and did a fine job with me. I was able to get over my fears one step at a time. It isn’t something that will just happen overnight, at least not for most people. It was amazing when I was no longer afraid of spiders. They didn’t bother me at all anymore and I would calmly collect them with a jar or something and put them outside, I didn’t even try to kill them. When I was no longer afraid of heights, I was able to go up on the roof to patch up some things and fix the chimney for the fireplace. I also tried something I never thought I would do, and that was to install a new HVAC system. I installed a ductless mini split with multiple indoor units. It wasn’t that hard, and I don’t think I would have even tried installing an HVAC system if I didn’t get over my anxiety issues.
