I recently realized that I have something to protect (or perhaps a smaller version of the same concept). I also realized that I've been spending too much time thinking about solutions that should have have been obviously not workable. And I've been avoiding thinking about the real root problem because it was too scary, and working on peripheral things instead.

Does anyone have any advice for me? In particular, being able to think about the problem without getting so scared of it would be helpful.

Talk about it with other people. Ask a good friend to sit down with you and listen to you talking about the issue.
