fear of old people

Hey, wow you seem to be the first person i have come across who has a silmiar illness as i do! I guess since i was little i have suffered from social phobia, always withdrawn and quiet. When i was 19 i had a severe breakdown and developed panic attacks and depression which made me both agoraphobic and severely socially phobic. Although i know exactly why i fear people, i have had more than my fair share of abuse both from mum, the people who brought me up and boyfriends.

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.

ve had 3 normal birth s and one emergency c section at 32 weeks. I lost 6 pints of blood on the table. Had lots of new blood and was put in a comma for 9 hours. I'm so glad they put me to sleep.I'm going to try for a vbac but if my specialists want me to have another c section. I want them to put me sleep again I don't feel I can be awake for it. Which is no way fair on my boyfriend as this is his 1st baby and he will miss out on seeing his baby come into the world.

I'm almost the opposite of you. If I could get it together and stop being so ambivalent towards religion, it might not be so bad. If you're interested in spirituality, there's all kinds of things you can read that are super interesting. Skelly88 might be a better person to ask about that though:) He knows more about it than I do. But I also hate the idea of nothing. So maybe I also ambivalent.

Anxiety can manifest itself in certain ways, in my opinion. Yours is your fear of cancer. My original source of anxiety started with my heart, but if I thought I had something, then I had it. You name it, I must have been suffering from it...it is a hard pattern of thinking to get out of sometimes. Throughout all of this, have you had access to a therapist to talk this over? In my opinion, the best thing you can do to get over this is accept it and confront it.

m betting it has to do with fear of failing in something, or of not meeting expectations, or of something you have not completed, something you are afraid to try. Or a mix of stuff like that. It may be extremely difficult to talk about this with a parent or with anyone at all. But you can talk about it HERE, if you want to. You are very fortunate to have this fear of dying right now, because the causes are fairly recent.

4 (normal), so, should I still fear Cirrhosis which i have no way of knowing if I have, or does the normal bilirubin give me some comfort?

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?

The media is getting everyone upset about a strain of flu that is no more deadly than any other strain of flu (which isn't particularly deadly anyway). Tens of thousands of people come down with the flu each year, most of whom never report it because their illness is mild. There is nothing to be upset about. It is not fun to be sick, but you will get over it.

The walls were in bad shape so I used a lot of spackle and did a lot of sanding. For the most part I wore a dust mask. I just read that the spackle I used contains silica which is a known carcinogen (lung cancer). My son would have been two years old at the time and although he was not in the room when I was sanding he was in the house and he would have been walking or running through the rooms and hallways soon after the sanding.

Not to be nosy, but what kind of pain do you have? There are many people on this forum that have taken pain meds because of legitimate pain. I myself have been on and off them for a few years because of back and sciatic pain. If you let us know your pain some people on here might be able to suggest other options to help deal with it. I have tried numerous different non narcotic pain meds.

Considering also 5 years, I believe the previus partners of my partner would already developed symptoms. Or even other people, or even the first hosts of the disease. Or even people with multiple partner and imunodepressed. I really want to move on and be happy with a girl. I've behaved properly over the last years, but I just can't get rid of this phantom, I have problems with OCD, paranoia and depression, so I'd ask you please to help me to solve this out.

My 3.5 year old granddaughter is afraid of entering rooms with a lot of people (not strangers), she will hide her eyes and not socialize at all. She also hides when she thinks someone will call attention to her (i.e. a party had a pinata, she hid because she didn't want anyone to clap when she tried to break it). She also has just recently stopped kissing (acknowledging) her grandfathers and uncles. She can totally ignore them and not look at them.

I'm a 20 year old male who had sex with two people, one of which was my former partner..and the other being a sex worker. My former partner, who I thought was the love of my life, and I were together for 3 - 4 years. We were both virgins before our relationship and with no partners before our relationship.

New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts. However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying. Once we understand that dying is just for the body and the spirit moves back to the energy (the light) we are no longer afraid of dying.

plz help me to come out of the vicious cycle of fear. I will be grateful to you all my life. I have two kids & wife. I don't have any help from anyone. I was coping with the anxiety symtoms (chest pain/palpitation/chest tightness/dizziness/lightheadedness/jelly leg etc), by reading Dr. Claire weekes book, that, anxiety will not kill you. Now I came to where I was in the beginning.

I'm not sure how to navigate this forum. I just sent a message to mpaul, thinking that it would be posted here, but I can't find it and I'm not sure it got sent. Anyway, mpaul, this may be repetitive if you already got my message. I also wanted the others in this forum to get this. I've had this fear for years. I'm 54 now. First started when I was 16, on a car ride up to Vermont to go skiing. Just looking out the window, and the fear hit me.

I was very active as a kid and now I have developed a fear of exercising. I'm afraid of the feelings that I might get along with like others have said, my heart beating really fast. I start to feel like I am panicking. what would normally be discomfort but feel good and healthy, and maybe even motivating, registers as pain for me. And I am afraid of feeling any pain, of any kind.

I can relate to you. I too struggle with panic attacks and the fear of them returning. Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier.

I will be flying to Philippines in 2 days I normally have a MASSIVE fear of flights. This time round, I anticipate my fear of flights will go crazy because I will be going on an OLD aircraft (A340 model, possibly around 20 years old plane!) So how am I to stop this fear? Can i take Xanax? I checked with my insurance provider, and they say I can claim for Xanax, so looks like I can get a psychiatrist to dispense some for me.

I got a letter from my school stating that since I show effort in class and have pretty good grades they are inviting me and my parents to breakfast and then will have an awards ceremony. I am soo scared to eat in front of people. I'm fine with my parents but none of my friends are going either. All people I don't know or don't like. I'm picky about food too and I know I'm not going to like it so how can I eat it without looking grossed out?

we barely did anything because of the fear of becoming pregnant and he pulled out long before he was about to ejaculate. i had my period on august 26th and it was pretty heavy. all the tests say negative so im not pregnant right?

My opinion? Your suffering from guilt which is taking the form of fear of HIV. Many people "latch on" to HIV fears when it is usually related to guilt. The risk factor to catching HIV the ways that you had "sex" are very low to begin with (unless you had an open sore...and even then it is small. I will bet that you are going to be HIV negative when you go back to your doctor. Your problem, will continue, however.

Little over a year I'd say. Well one day I was driving home and for no reason it felt like I was going to throw my heart rite up it started pounding and things started going black I was like this is the end I didn't no what to do went threw a bunch of tests they found nsvt. Then I thought I had cad and did for a long timed despite having an angio I still think I do. I read all the time about and how it can go from 0 plugged to 100 percent in less then a month.
