How to fight fear that this game inspires?

[Tenacious]

Hey, I've tried repeatedly to get myself the courage to move into the prison level. But I can't help but get overwhelmed by fear and then just quit.

The ironic thing is, I've seen most of what happens down here - It's just the actual doing it which my brain goes 'Nope, nope.' Does anyone have any newbie tips for a newbie who wants to complete his first run of Amnesia?

Just force yourself to go at whatever pace is comfortable with you, if you have a hard time getting through an area because of fear, what I did is I started over until I reached that part, going through the fear of previous areas over and over helped toughen me up until I could handle that part

I vouch for this, it totally works! I couldn't stand the storage area, so I just made a new profile and replayed the entire game until I got back to the same area. This time, however, I felt confident enough to make it through virtually unscathed.
