Afraid you might be gay? Have cancer? That you're gonna die?
  That won't get to sleep? That everybody is going to leave you
  and you'll be ALL ALONE?

  Try this simple trick:

  Say to yourself:

  Choose: ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

  ''I might be gay''

  ''I might have cancer''

  ''I might die''

  ''I am never going to sleep''

  ''Everybody is going to leave me''

  OR PICK YOUR OWN.

  Repeat it 10,000 times.

  Over and over and over again.

  Get bored of it.

  Then, escalate it:

  ''I am definitely gay!''

  ''I definitely have cancer!''

  ''I'm gonna die!''

  Repeat 10,000 times to yourself. 20,000 even. 100,000 times!

  Until you get bored of it.

  Then, escalate it AGAIN:

  ''I WANT TO BE GAY!''

  ''I WANT CANCER!''

  ''I WANT TO DIE!''

  10,000,000 TIMES... until you get completely bored with saying
  it to yourself.

  Once you're bored of it... you're no longer afraid of it. Its
  power is completely gone.

  And you can get on with your life already.

  Don't be superstitious. Just get it out of your system already.
  Our lives on this planet are short enough as it is. Short
  circuit your amygdala and let it work on focusing your attention
  on more interesting things, rather than your boring fears and
  anxieties. -Kenneth Udut
