Fear

• Fear is a discomfort that may range from a mild
  feeling of being unsafe to an intense anxiety
  about losing your life.
• Fears may be the result of unpleasant
  experiences, especially in childhood.
• The subconscious mind may retain this fear trauma
  and behavioral problems may result.
• Fears can be communicated through other people.
• Fear makes the heart beat faster and cause the
  body to react with increased energy.
• The first step to overcoming fear is to discover
  the cause of the fear.
• Exaggerated fears are fears of everyday objects
  or events called phobias.

Anger

• One of the ways your respond to your environment
  is through anger
• Most people become angry with people that they
  depend on and love.
• However, repeated outbursts of anger are
  destructive and can potentially lead to
  depression.
• Anger can be used constructively when it is
  directed against the forces that have caused the
  problem.
• You too can use anger to correct a bad situation.
  Be sure you know the real cause of the problem so
  you can attack it directly.

Depression

• Depression can affect behavior, physical health
  and appearance, and the way people handle
  decisions.
• If you have prolonged depression, you need
  professional help.
• When moods last for more than a couple of weeks
  and include symptoms, medical help should be
  sought.
• Symptoms are sleeping problems, loss of
  appetite, decline in energy, feelings of
  worthlessness, and general feeling of
  hopelessness.
• Being sad is ok, only for a moment but give
  yourself permission to have sad feelings.
• Time usually heals a common case of the blues.
• Recognize that depressed moods can be balanced
  with positive moods.
