How to cope with fear?

I'm afraid, though not an ordinary fear that everyone possesses. It's a fear I have with loud high pitch sounds such as Fire Alarms. To speak my mind, I have been dismayed these past couple of weeks. I have been feeling major anxiety of school starting and the first thing coming to mind being the Fire Drills they do. Fire Drills have been something I feared since the first grade, which was ten years ago. Now, I still have fear though not as bad as before. I still get my heart pumping, massive feeling in my stomach, and I feel like I almost want to cry and freak out, though I have learned to not freak out whenever there is a Fire Drill. Every-time I know there is going to be one, I plug my ears and wait for it to happen. I end up acknowledging that it isn't that loud, but I still fear it. I need help on coping with the fear better. I cannot stand having the fear and I just want it to go away, though that's not happening anytime sooner. Can someone please help me?

 

my grade is very immature (including me) whenever there's a fire drill the whole class jumps out of their chairs and start screaming.


but just plug your ears and if you want to face your fears then don't plur your ears

 

In my class, i am the only one who doesnt freak. literally. im in year 5 and my class (when they hear the fire drill) jump out their seats and scream " EEEEEEK!" I remember one time my friend said " HARRY WHY ARENT YOU SCARED?!!!" I said with a einstein voice " It`s a practice silly." When all our classes were out and our headmistress said it was a practice, my whole class looked at me. I smiled. So yeah, it isnt something to be afraid of. Most the time it is just a practice and they test you to see what you would actually do. In my school, there has never been a fire at all. All the drills i have been through have been practices. Dont worry man :)

 

I am honestly super sensitive and super frightened by the dumbest things.
So usually what I do is listen to music and try to think of something else.

One thing I used to do, is if it gets really really bad, I would stay up very late, even after I took a benadyrl (I was having bug bites, a lot of them) and I would only go to sleep when I physically couldn't keep my eyes open I was so tired. I performed way worse in school when I did this and it sucked it was painful and horrible just don't deprive yourself of sleep.

 

I get that with like lockdowns and evacuations and stuff.

Pretend the fire alarm is a gun, shooting lasers at people who annoy you

 

I know fire alarms can scare the shit outta me as well.

If it really bothers you, try and sneak an earphone in or something. Slide it up your hoodie and behind you neck to your ear, if you have considerably long hair it should be easy to hide, if not just put yer hood up or cover your ear. When the fire alarm goes off, blast the music so you can't hear it, at least in that single ear. Try and ignore it with the other, think about other things and stuff. Find your crush and start imagining your future with them, or imagine a super hero coming through the window and claiming you as their own and imagine your life as that.

Just something extravagent, that has a low chance of happening. Your brain likes that kind of stuff.
