Fear

[qos]

Sometimes -- maybe even all the time -- the only truly effective way of dealing with fear is taking up one's sword and facing the fearful thing, prepared to look it in the eye and endure whatever consequences ensue.

I've been called worse. ;-)

Seriously, however: remembering I'm not alone is sometimes the hardest part.

I think you are right about this.
I must admit that I am not good at this myself. I tend to lay down and surrender whenever I get scared. And I get scared very easily. So I am learning to be more brave, and face my monsters.
It is not an easy thing to learn, but I think it is worth it.
