Avatar f tn 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?
1269044 tn?1393189903 This is pretty common to be feeling this way and yes time is the word! The fear of the unknown is very scary but it is also a time when we leave that that we find ourselves. Stepping out of our comfort zone is very hard. It makes us feel vulnerable to everything. Now is the time to make a new path for yourself. There is so much to discover now that you are clean. Take that step. You will be okay.

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 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.
Avatar f tn s so very important to try thru therapy to find out why you are so anxious and deal with it. You can also learn how to cope so much better. We all live with the unknown everyday, but obcessing over what "may be" is a waste of our time and life. Your body will let you know if there is a problem, until then do everything to stay healthy, especially exercise which is great for anxiety. Have yearly check-ups and if all is okay...accept it and live your life.

Avatar f tn I have a fear of going to hell when I die. Currently the biggest thing is I got a new bed set and it had some unknown red dye or something on it. I have an irrational fear that touching the red dye will make me go to hell. I can't seem to get over it. Any suggestions?
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 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 m tn But I am not going, because I am scared... How to overcome from this... Can I go ahead with my wedding plan?
Avatar m tn The more you understand the condition and accept it the more you can begin to fight back. The less you know about it the worse. Because you fear the unknown. So, doctor, therapist and see how you feel after that. We are always here if you have any more questions.

Avatar n tn Ok thank you very much! I hope that you are correct! I just don't know how to get rid of this PHOBIA! Perhaps i should take the 8 month test. But i can't get over the fear that i might turn positve and can't force my self to take the test. But i am also afraid if i don't take the test and make sure i am 100% HIV free i might be infected and not knowing about it. I know this is wierd but thats how i feel and i have no idea why.
Avatar f tn I am not exactly measuring (using the scale) each and every food that I eat. But I am very aware of the portion size. I try to listen to my stomach. If I feel that I am almost full, I stop eating because I know that I will only end up purging the excess of what I should've only eaten. I have been doing that for quite some time now so I know by now what portion size will prevent me from purging.
