1092880 tn?1273975025 I just wanted to know if any of you guys developed phobias or fears they NEVER had before until anxiety came in to your life and hit you like a ton of bricks. For instance, I have a gigantic fear of spiders now when I was never ever afraid of them before. I use to make fun of my younger brother and uncle because they are afraid of them and I picked up a spider, would throw it on them and laugh when they screamed like little girls and ran..lol.
Avatar f tn my anxiety attacks won't stop when i'm in an airplane. is there anything i can do?
524126 tn?1215288595 Has anyone else developed phobias due to anxiety and panic? I have noticed I have become a little ODC about certain things because I want to avoid a potential panic attack... I'm just not sure if anyone else has experienced something similar? Share your stories, and is this a natural progression of my anxiety?
Avatar f tn Whenever she would leave me (to go to work, a store, etc) I would get anxiety. For me, anxiety always meant overwhelming nausea. As a toddler, you dont have the awareness yet to just say "okay, I am feeling anxious and that is why I am nauseous and shakey". I just associated the nausea with something horribly traumatic happening (my mom leaving). So in turn, I began to fear the nausea because whenever I had been nauseous, it meant my world was ending (my mom leaving).
Avatar f tn t safe. In the past I had two minor panic/anxiety attacks from driving in th rk and I dont know how to cope with it. I'm embarrased to tell family and friends and find myself making excuses for why I can't travel home at night. Does anyone have any advice?
Avatar f tn I've dealt with anxiety for years and haven't had much success with medications to help. Tried Lexapro but it made panic attacks way worse. Tried Zoloft and loved how quickly it helped with depression but made my heart race by the end of the day. Now I'm dealing with not wanting to leave home, feeling dizzy while driving, can't go into grocery stores. These are new symptoms and scary. I have gone through a recent separation and move that I feel is what triggered new symptoms.
Avatar m tn well she is suffering from panics, phobias, anxiety there all linked together, has the hospital give her any medication? as jass said get her a good therapist they can work wonders for people.
Avatar f tn i really need advise on my other post but most off has anyone ever beat the phobias that cause their panic attacks and has anyone ever been able to reverse the irrational fears they placed in their heads?
Avatar m tn Panic Attacks: are sudden urges of overwhelming fear that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being stressed out that most people experience. People who have full-blown, repeated panic attacks can become very disabled by their condition and should seek treatment before they start to avoid places or situations where panic attacks have occurred.
1063332 tn?1254751034 Phobias are a consequence of anxiety, so all of us here probably suffer phobias. They occur when you get anxious over something and panic, and then become conditioned to panicking in that situation. CBT might be an option.
1049259 tn?1295088478 but the reason I pointed it out is b/c you are experiencing some pretty severe anxiety along with health phobias, and while this forum is a wonderful resource, it is by no means a substitute for real, in PERSON professional help. Hey, it's your decision of course...but I sincerely think you need to start addressing your symptoms with a professional in addition to utilizing this forum as a means for support.
617474 tn?1466635798 i used to suffer bad anxiety issues, it all went away like 1 year and a half ago...two days ago all of a sudden, i was sitting down than i stood up and had (what i hope it is) a panic attack, i had intense ringing in my ears and my vision almost faded. i had a headache and had nausea.
Avatar m tn I know this is probably very weird, but I am 16 years old, in high school, and death seems to always be on my mind. I know that should be the LAST thing I am thinking about right now! I wasn't always this way, I think this started a little after I was recovering from my anxiety. It just feels like death is always around me and every little thing that feels wrong with me, I always relate to something serious.
1667612 tn?1303347192 When this happened, it caused my body to go into panic attacks. These constant panic attacks have given me extreme anxiety. At times, I even have agoraphobia. I have panic attacks with just breathing right, or every time my heart races (which is often). I cannot handle stress of any kind. I did a lot of research on peer reviewed studies that show the correlation between thyroid disease and anxiety disorders. I believe our bodies provoke a fear response that becomes routine for us.
Avatar f tn Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
Avatar m tn With anxiety disorder, frequency of panic attacks, phobias and how they impact on you. If you want more information please pm me. And if you want a specific in person meeting I'd suggest going to your local independent living center. There's one in every county of every state: http://www.ilru.org/html/publications/directory/index.html You have to have solid information from your psychiatrist and expect to be denied and have to go before to an appeal before a judge.
Avatar f tn Hello For two years I am having bad thoughts over having a life threatening desease. This feeling is coming like attacks when I get stressed in my daily life. I always check my lymph nodes, my weight changes and I panic over anything. For one week now however I got really obsessive over the idea that I have hiv and I wake up at night to read symptoms. I cant sleep well. I always check my body during the day. I feel like there is butterflies in my stomack. What should I do?
Avatar m tn Have you seen a doctor for a very thorough check-up? I don't know if that's even possible in the age of corona virus, but that's a lot of symptoms. I've had panic attacks and phobias and anxiety for many years, but again, that's a lot of different symptoms.
Avatar m tn m afraid of confrontation ect when ever I am in an environment where these phobias come into place I start having panic attacks I find it hard to breathe, I begin to get severe headaches aswell as chest pains and cramps. The only way I can get these pains to stop is if I am in a small confined space like a public toilet or a small room, it is at this time when my panic attacks begin to fade. I do often find that I develop new fears quite easily.
Avatar f tn First, doctors don't specialize in anxiety, so they will often just call anything they're unable to find a specific answer to a mental problem even though it might very well be something physiological they're not able or qualified to find.
Avatar f tn Just wondering who has had better luck on the higher dose of lexapro for anxiety or is it pretty much the same?
