fear of talking over the telephone

I grew up in a rather large family, being number 10 out of 11 and I remember that when I was a lot older late teens and 20's I was always being told to stop shouting, whether in the office or on the bus and worse on the telephone.

My father is 73 and had a lasik and cataract surgery and then he had his eye lids lifted, but still his eyes shut and he can't open them until he the muscle relaxes and react to the motion of opening up. He has seen doctors in Miami, Alabama and S. Carolina and he has been told the what he has is eye spasm. The only treatment that he has been given for that is botox injections. My question is, is there a cure or therapy or surgery to correct that?

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. You have to take your control back. I should really learn to take my own advice.

Avoid crossing your arms across your chest. When talking on the telephone, watch how much your elbow is bent. Those who need to use the telephone frequently should get a cradle attachment or headset. You may have to alter your sleeping position with pillows. Adjust your chair and desk so that when writing, working at a typewriter or a computer keyboard, the elbow is flexed no more that 30 degrees and the wrist is in a neutral position.

I'm 19 weeks almost 20 and I continue to get all kinds of negative thought. What if I lose my baby? How come I'm not feeling him move a lot? What if something happens wrong? Just all kinds of thought. I have major fear of losing him and I honestly don't know why. Has any other moms felt this way? What helped get your mind off of it.

If you are suffering from a hearing problem and you aren’t able to communicate with people through phones. Then you need a specific tool which you feel better. The technology that invented an excellent tool that enables hearing-impaired people to talk and share information over telephones. There some telephones for deaf people. These telephones are better for them.

She is in preschool and her teacher informed us one day that she believes she is constantly on the go and chatters because she suffers from anxiety. What are the symptoms of anxiety in a 3.5 year old? To describe her, she was a late walker (18 months) and her language is a bit slower than other children her age (she is an only child and we have no family or friends in town, so her interaction with others is very limited).

Ann gave a great description. One of the best resources is your pharmacist. You can call them over the telephone if you don't want to ask personal questions at the store or many of them have private consultation rooms. They are the drug experts.

Has a Family member or pet died recently that has made her anxious,Talking to someone sounds like a good thing,It does sound as if they are doing too much about it and maybe going the other way, and playing it down would work better, she is getting a lot of attention over the Issue.

I have a fear of death. Mostly the death of a loved one. I worry so much that if I lost one of my family members I don't know what would happen to me, I think I would go crazy, it would ruin my life, I feel like crying when I think about it, I shouldn't worry but I do, which makes it worse because they are going to all die one day, this scares me because they are so important to me.

When I broke the bottle of NMP at work and got it all over my feet (it dissolved the wax on the floor tiles and ruined them and part of my shoes...thankfully doesn't hurt skin) I exposed my skin to a carcinogenic chemical. Of course I washed my feet as best as I could. This chemical is not going to cause me to get cancer because of this one time exposure. Now if I repeatedly used it over the course of many years without wearing gloves, etc.

I myself have a fear of needles, this is my second pregnancy.

I am now struggling to cope with the fear of dying, its only recently become very serious, in feb of this year i found out i was expecting my second child, and because i thought i could get pregnant then surely nothing is wrong with me, then tragically i lost the baby and after going through all the motions of miscarrying i suddenly thought well something must be wrong and it has gone on from their, i am constantly checking myself, thinking im pale, checking my tongue, thinking my fingers tips

This reminds me of the book by Patty Duke, "A Brilliant Madness." There is creativity, coping skills, open mindedness, empathy, and many things I have learned from the Beauty of Bipolar. As I work toward balance, I have had a great deal of fear that I may lose the 'good' parts of me too. I am changed forever from those experiences, so I am seeing that I don't have to give up the good with the bad.

More like a safety blanket to a person with a fear of throwing up. But it done the trick at the time. Made me feel safe eating again. I won't lie and say and say I am anything near the weight I should be for my age. I am far from it. Don't eat as much as the regular Joe Soap. But I get by with what I eat and when I eat. Love to tell you there is a miracle cure too. But that would be a lie. It is just something we get over. Even if it means eating small amounts at a time.

I am in the process of talking to a psychologist. The intern, SW, or whatever under her is the one that's been seeing me thus far. But I will ask to talk to the psychologist directly. Right now my physical well being is my utmost concern, but I cannot act as if my mental well being has been jeopordized through my years. I know once I retest I'll be alright.

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.

barbara, It puts my mind at ease to know other people have been through this. I feel like I drive my family crazy with all of this. I do have a boyfriend who is very supportive and comforting but he goes to school hours away so our time together is limited, and talking over the phone isn't much help. I have an apartment of my own that I rarely stay at anymore because I feel safer with my parents at home.

Could I have an allergy to something in our portable telephone? I also have some of the same symptoms from the phone system at work and cell phones. By the end of a 40 minute phone call, I can barely breathe out of my nose.

I'm a FTM, and I'm 33w1d. I have a huge fear of the unknown, and I'm terrified that I won't know I'm having contractions. Tonight, I've had a lot of pressure and I'm feeling her move a lot. I know some women here have said they've had some bleeding, I haven't had any bleeding but I'm just nervous that when the time comes, I won't know. What do contractions feel like?

Hello, I'm posting this question hoping that someone of the health care comunity may be able to answer it. I'm a 25-years-old male and about five YEARS AGO I had an episode of unprotected sex with another male. After that, I made several tests and it's all right with my health. The other person is nowadays healthy too. What bothers me is: IF THERE WAS A NEW EPIDEMIC, A DISEASE BEING SPREAD, LIKE AIDS, IS FIVE YEARS TIME ENOUGH FOR US TO KNOW THAT?
