Bench Pressing without a spotter..

Hi all. I am moving up the weights and with that I am a bit concerned about my bench press.

I have been steadily increasing the amount Iift. Nothing to be bragging about or anything but heavy enough for me anyway.

I am now at a point where if I go heavier.. it is a bit of struggle to finish the full reps. I can just about manage the 4 sets of 10 reps- but I have this fear of not being able to do full reps and get caught out not been able to lift the bar back up.

I stopped at 8 reps the other night for fear of not being able to raise the bar to extension.

Having a spotter would fix this but it isn't an option. Any advice on next steps to take here. I am not sure if it is a mental thing or otherwise that prevents me from lifting heavier..
