fear of crowds phobia anxiety

I first have to ask why someone with an "extreme HIV phobia" would work in a lab such as you do. I have an extreme fear of snakes and they couldn't pay me enough to work around the things. I also can't understand how someone in your position in not one of the most highly qualifed people to know how difficult it is to actually contrract HIV. You say that you always wear the correct protective gear while working with these specimens.

I'm not a doctor but when I think of a phobia, I think of a fear of something specific that keeps you from doing things ie, afraid of spiders? don't go down in the basement or reach into dark spots. afraid of crowds? generally don't go out in public. Anxiety may just happen without any apparent reason or it may be triggered by an event. Some people experience all kinds of physical symptoms with their anxiety. Nausea, light-headedness, sweating, palpitations.

Exactly, I have an extreme phobia for HIV. At the same time, I cannot even resist myself from having sex. But I never have penetrative sex only handjob and insertive oral. Thanks for your answer.

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.

On average, I have about 4 anxiety attacks a week, on my medication. It seems as if my anxiety is getting worse due to the fact of my fear of the dark is getting worse. I can hardy sleep because I am so afraid of the dark now. I can lay in bed, cuddling with my boyfriend and be fine. However, if he were sitting beside me in the dark, I can't handle it. I can not handle the dark. I want this fear to go away. It is so embarrassing, so tiring, and just plain on my nerves.

What we can talk about here is that your logical brain is being overruled by your anxiety. Health anxiety is real. The fear you have, the symptoms of anxiety you have which could be a panic feeling, a burning chest, non stop ruminating all could be anxiety related. A therapist could be very beneficial to give you tools to reframe your thinking. To get to a point where you can use coping tools.

And your fear of it going through the flor and contaminating your bed. Not possible. You need to go ahead and realize that this is a serious issue if you are irrational and having a phobia. Do you see a psychologist? If not, please do. This is treatable. Exposure therapy is the best for this type of thing. ERP therapy is what it is called and it is the gold standard. Medication helps too. Are there other things you have irrational fear about?

I understand, although I don't fear crowded spaces, or the toilet. I am absolutely terrified of heights and bees. I cant stand being to high off the ground or i start to hyperventilate. And when there's a bee near, I either run away screaming or start to shake with fear. But what I do is try to convince myself that I'm not going to die, an I try to regulate my breathing. That's what I suggest to you. Better yet, you should go see your doctor, and see what they have to say.

i am 100 percent vegan exercise 2 hr each day and do meditation daily besides a lobotomy what else can I do to relieve my fear of blood pressure reading from a dr? http://youtu.

I have had a toothache/facepain for over two weeks, I know I need to go and see a dentist but I have a great fear of going because of cetain circumstances that happened while going to the dentist as a child. I have been taking advil for the pain and most times it is tolerable but now it seems to be getting worse as it is keeping me awake at night.

None of y'all are alone, just thinking about a hospital, doctor, or dentist quickly sends me in to panic mode! I haven't been to either in over 2 yrs because of it. Prozac helps (when I'm on it) but doesn't take it away completely!

ve found ways to deal in the past and have managed well, but lately my panic attacks have increased along with my social phobia. Going out among crowds or meeting even ONE new person is enough to trigger an attack. I get to the point where I can't breath, I try to make myself appear as small as possible, shrinking myself from the inside out. It's almost paralyzing. I end up being over run by this burst of emotions that weigh so heavy on me.

My main objective is to give you some insight into your chronic phobia of the dark. The fear of the dark is a very valid phobia to begin with and could branch into many other more specific phobias, such as nyctophobia, the fear of the darkness and the main one I wish to talk to you about now. Nyctophobia is any fear of darkness and it does not have to be chronic. It is usually caused by a magnification of the brain's natural perception of what could happen in a dark environment.

One of the ways that people do this is by steering clear of the situations that make them anxious. If you have a fear of heights, you might drive three hours out of your way to avoid crossing a tall bridge. Or if the prospect of public speaking leaves your stomach in knots, you might skip your best friend’s wedding in order to avoid giving a toast. Aside from the inconvenience factor, the problem with avoiding your fears is that you never have the chance to overcome them.

I don't know why your affraid of them, but I recommend you read my advice about how to cure phobias in the following journal: http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/139638?

you need to get over your fear and go to the doctors. you have phobia of hospitals and needles........... going to the doctors just to see why your periods late does not involve either get over your fear and go to the doctors.

I think I have a phobia of the dark but dont know how to classify it? Not sure if it's OCD related or other. My problem started really affecting my life maybe 2 years ago and has gotten progressively worse to the point I can't be in the dark alone at all, not even for a minute or I'lll become incredibly anxious. This is managable by turning the lights on, but my other problem is driving in the dark.

Why don't you believe? Having a fear of eating/vomiting is just a fear. Fears like that are also known as phobias, and it all falls under the anxiety category. I have a phobia of something completely different, and that falls under the category of anxiety too. If I was you, I wouldn't worry about whether it was caused by hormones or whatever. All these problems people get are all just caused by chemicals our brains. It may be called "serotonin" or a hormone, or whatever..

For the past 5 years I have been dodging doctors to the best of my ability due to a fear of needles / medical procedures. In addition there is a deep fear of simply finding out "somethings wrong". I already know I have high blood pressure which I do my best to control with diet and exercise but I still need help. I had a doctor for 10 years that I called my primary care physician but really only saw him a handful of times.

Here is how you get HIV, the ONLY way you'd get HIV: if you have unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex or sharing of drug needles. Hiv is inactivated by air and saliva. Every time you have a fear of HIV, remember that. It should alleviate the worry. If you didn't do these things, you aren't going to get HIV.

I have emetophobia (fear of throwing up)...well last night I took a lot of shots of a lot of different liquors and i woke up in the morning feeling sluggish with a headache but I was ok...all day I had in the back of my mind how im so glad i didnt throw up and stuff but my body felt weird all day I think from just being hungover.... Well all of a sudden now Im sooooo nausceous and panicky cause im freaked out im going to get sick....

Some women experience a tightening of their vagina, which causes them pain during p-v. This is usually the result of fear and anxiety about sex. I’m wondering if you’ve received messages that sex is somehow dirty, harmful or wrong. Or whether you’ve experienced something traumatic in your past that is creating fear.

A phobia is something that scares the bejesus out of you and that you avoid. If you have a fear of spiders you will avoid them.That is a phobia. If you start obsessing over how they can get into your house and where they could be hiding followed by compulsions of insceticide, closing windows, checking etc you have OCD, or at least the symptoms. Have you met with a Dr? I recall you saying that you have.
