Common Questions and Answers about How to overcome fear of losing someone

fear

Avatar f tn To overcome anxiety, one must understand the logic of why the brain is feeling threatened, it sends messages to the body saying its under threat. 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.
Avatar f tn Talk this over with your parents so they can get you therapy to learn how to break free of this fear. Good luck and take care!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn But the fact remains, that for whatever reason, you have developed a fear regarding something or someone in your life. Whether it is the fear of losing your parents, or some other family member, you are going to have to come to terms with it - by admitting and facing it. A combination of medication and counseling may work out for you - but I believe you absolutely need someone talk too about what is going on inside of you. Chances are it will not cure itself by ignoring it.
Avatar m tn When I go to pee in the morning I get so nervous that some sperm will be on my hands or will get onto the toilet seat and have to be super careful not to touch anything and I have to use toilet paper to lift the lid etc. Also when I see a hot girl and get an erection I’m afraid that even a tiny bit of sperm will come out and it makes me too afraid to go to the bathroom for like an hour.
Avatar n tn Fear of losing someone close to you can really take its toll on any relationship. How long have you been going to therapy? It sometimes can take a little while to see progress, but just keep on going...it can only help. While I am not in your situation, I was really afraid of death for awhile, but realized that it will someday and I have to cherish every moment I have. I lost my self identity, became depressed, and was so afraid to die that I would not live...
Avatar f tn reading about it dont help it will just heighten your anxiety,the recorded deaths are tragic,but in comparrison to the success rate of themit do put it in to a prospective,just tell your fears to the person who is going to give you the needle ask any questions you need to ask and remember they cannot force you to have anything done that you dont wish to have done.
1390847 tn?1344657468 I have learned that facing your fear is the best way to overcome it, you'll learn that the only thing to really fear about vomiting is the fear itself. I can only base this on my own experiences. Before I had children I had a horrible fear of seeing someone after they've fallen and hit their head and I would run the other way. I had my first child and he fell on the side walk and my first instinct was to run but this was my little boy and his well being meant more to me than my fear.
Avatar m tn I have no idea how to help you overcome your apparently severe ticklishness, perhaps therapy would offer some useful insight. I don't know how often you are approached by people wielding a "vibration device," but I would try yelling, in a very loud and forceful tone of voice "NO!" Or "STOP! I DO NOT LIKE THAT!
Avatar f tn As you said, the newfound fear of anxiety can be attributed to the fact that you had panic attacks during your last flight. It is similar, in a way, to agoraphobia. For your next flight, you can ask you doctor if you can take 1mg of Xanax to see if that helps. However, Xanax is relatively short-acting (effects last about 5 hours). Klonopin is probably a better option. It is very similar to Xanax, but it lasts a lot long (10-12 hours).
Avatar f tn Hi. I think therapy would benefit you greatly, in teaching you how not to obcess over this so that it doesn't consume you. Most people have some fear of death and we all worry about losing our loved ones, it's normal. Having lost most of my family, this same worry consumed me. The biggest lesson all these losses taught me is that no amount of worry in the world will change what will be, it only makes us sick.
Avatar f tn I keep reading sad stories of how women keep losing there babies and its got me scared :( how do you cope with it , how do I turn off the bad thoughts ?
Avatar f tn To those who recovered, what have you done to overcome this horrible eating disorder? Did you need to see a dr and seek help professionally? I have a stable job but not financially capable to seek professional help. Any advise will be welcomed. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Have you tried focused slow breathing, walking, aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage, redirect by doing something? Also...low Vitamin D3 and magnesium can contribute to anxiety and depression.
Avatar m tn scarlett11 Try a sleep app that has dozens of recordings of therapists telling you how to go to sleep. You get to select which one you want to listen to, and I often listen to the same recording for months. Sometimes I fall asleep in the first few minutes but for that to work, I have to pay attention to what the speaker says.
Avatar f tn No one can really advise you on this one. Tough love is one of the hardest to demostrate....You know how much you are willing to tolerate. Someone mentioned above that the pills come first,,,sadly that is very true,,,, Some of these have good healthy outcomes.... so stay positive..

358304 tn?1409709492 Thank you so much for responding... Your answer about "the fear of fear" is my problem. And I'm so glad to hear that it is typical. Sometimes I think I'm crazy.. .and I always ask myself... why did this happen to me? I'm so young! It started after my grandma died.. and after my daughter was born. I was just praying that this was a thing for 2007 and would not continue... but its like I "relapse"... and it *****...
Avatar m tn Sorry, I guess my point was that neither you or your partner were putting yourself at risk. I don't think you should be retested again. You should work with your therapist to figure out why you can't accept your boyfriend's negative test results.
Avatar m tn their is no chance of HIV without condom breakage...to overcome your fears ...take a test....taking a test can come out of fear 99% than googing...
Avatar f tn I am sorry you are going through this. In my experience, anxiety and panic can be very confusing and scary at first. Have you ever got help through counseling? I know for me just learning about it, made it much more easy to confront. In my opinion, we tend to fear things we don't understand, but with a little knowledge it can shed some light on the issues.
Avatar m tn I am afraid I stepped on a syringe(iI know you are thinking this is crazy but yea damn OCD) I know this fear is ocd but I am trying to think of facts to confront this fear with,it worked with fear of HIV and oral sex.
Avatar n tn rayray0707 - although I am not a medical professional I can offer some assistance. When it comes to slowing down the effects of diabetes such as losing vision - kidney problems and mobility there are a few factors to look at. How well are is her diabetes controlled? Which medical professional or endocrinologist is she working with? What is her insulin treatment right now? How well is she taking care of herself?
