fear of elevators

confronting my fears is the only way i can move forward..i had a horrible fear of elevators...one day i got on one by myself and went up and down 10 times by myself..to this day i can now get on an elevator.....get it done and confront the situation..

Just a side note. I use to be terrified of elevators at one time. I get on them now without a second thought. I guess I conquered some fears in the past and I guess elevators just aren't scary to me anymore. You will be ok.

The underlying tension in your mind expresses itself in all the symptoms you described, its that tension you have to resolve to get rid of all of the symptoms and get your life back.

ve been suffering from a highly irrational fear of HIV from highly improbable situations (casual contacts, restaurants, dirty restrooms, worried that a health care worker reused a needle or somehow contaminated, etc). It's been so difficult the past two months, I've never been like this, but now I get this feeling that danger is right around the corner almost 24x7.

That true am 30 weeks n out of breath all the time mostly at night..

So tonight after work I was going up to visit a friend who was in the hotel and the elevator stopped abruptly (cuz its so ghetto and old) and not only did it scare the **** out of me, but it stopped pretty hard! It just worried me cuz as I was in it I was like...is this even safe? Anyone know any info on this??

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

Also, be careful how you bend. Bend at your knees and not at your back.

) Would you expect an overweight person (let’s say 45lbs) who doesn’t exercise much at all (more than public transport, never takes elevators) and has a not too awful, but nothing to be proud of, life style to have a pulse of 103/83 and Hba1c of 27mmol (range 27 - 42). I personally would expect both these to be higher in me so I’m wondering if I should put related symptoms on the list.

Guessing 88 is your birth year, you may be in the time when reflux is becoming a problem. Anxiety + reflux + PVCs will sometimes allow your mind to think something is happening that is not. Have you tried Tums / Maalox / some other stomach remedy when your symptoms seem the worst? It may help and is not going to hurt. Best wishes and please report back.

What induced my labor was going up 6 flights of stairs for a doctor's appointment. I'm scared of elevators so the next day I had contractions and I gave birth two days after that. And I was only 35 weeks.

Maybe good posture? Or you aren't showing signs of fatigue? The ladies at my work throw a hiss fit over the fact that I'm 39 weeks and still take the stairs...but I'm afraid of elevators, especially this one where people have gotten stuck in it.

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

We did stairs, elevators, construction zones, and bus stops. She only balked at the restroom so we have to work on that. We are filling out the application from the state so wish us luck.

I love having my baby still inside of me but do any of you just feel so tired of being pregnant especially because of this heat and just wish you have your baby early? I'm 36 weeks Friday and I'm already wishing/hoping/praying/ he comes at 37 or 38 weeks. I know I have to wait till he's ready but I don't understand how fast all these months passed and all of a sudden this last one decides to pass by very slowly. How can I get my baby to drop?

Even 10 minutes at a time is good. Take stairs instead of elevators, walk instead of driving or riding whenever possible, etc. Anything that keeps you moving is helpful.

Hey there . Hope you doing fine.. Back pain can start its root even with no acciden or backpain history patient. before jumping to dignoses your information is very litle.. Please provide us wih the following information.. what is your work routine ? Did your work routine changed recently ? Do have to face stairs or elevators any where daily ? Is your bed using foam or spring mattress ? Are you on dieting ? Do you properly sleep at night ? have you recently played any game ?

Does anyone else have a fear of them switching your baby with someone else's? Can I ask for my daughter to have her bracelets put on before leaving the room after giving birth?

t before you started taking the anti-depressants, and you have no history of depression, I would certainly broach the subject of going off them with your doctor, if they're making you feel lousy. My husband is in his 8th week of treatment and while, like GreatBird, he has been more emotional than usual, and a bit irritable at times, he is not depressed and has not gone on them.

making injections is so easily, i know do them with both arms and even without looking at the site of injection...of course i dont need to pay attention because if i get a vein it is even better with my treatment but anyway just follow instructions here http://www.youtube.com/watch?
