590280 tn?1310087366 i stay away from anyone or anyplace that is likely to be using, buying or selling. i try to stay close to people who are serious about recovery. i remember how bad it can get, and i haven't forgotten how to pray. oxycontin was my best friend to the tune of 600-800 mg a day as was alcohol. my best friend almost killed me and i saw it kill others, only after it took away their dreams, relationships and dignity and reduced them to empty shells of what they once were.
Avatar m tn Ive been diagnosed with General Anxiety since a year now, been on 20 mg fluoxetine which helped a lot to overcome panic attacks, many phobias and stuff that irritated me, now since 3 months I've been feeling like the effect of the medication is not really there anymore, I have some irrational thoughts and fears I had before essentially fearing of developing schizophrenia or paranoia which terrifies me.. I know this is common among anxiety sufferers but I just feel dreadful..
Avatar m tn They often suffer visual and auditory hallucinations and delusions, either of grandeur or paranoia. Psychosis can be dangerous, not only to the person experiencing it, but to those around them. They are completely different things. A panic attack is a form of anxiety, whereas a psychotic break is an acute psychotic episode, completely unrelated to anxiety.
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 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 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 f tn To be honest, it makes me feel bad to hide this from my husband but if I have to get professional help, I will have to tell him. I would like to see how far I can go by managing this by myself before I think I am falling off the wagon again. Then maybe I do have to tell him. I would like to tell you that I am very appreciative of your response. It is not everyday that I get to talk about this with someone.
Avatar n tn 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. My question is how did anyone overcome their fear of going to the dentist and is there some kind of home remedy I can take for this toothache any input would be appreciated Thanks!!
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 m tn Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.
Avatar f tn I was there when I was a teen. I thought my life was so horrible I should end it. I heard my inner conscience telling me to hurt myself because I felt so much pain. I lied to therapists, I lied to myself, I didn't know what to do but hurt. No one was hurting me but myself and the mistakes I made. I was messed up in the head... I thought scars were 'pretty' and I felt hate towards those who didn't have scars...
Avatar f tn Tried meditation, going to gym. Previously when the fear of schiz thought comes it drives me into panic attack. But now I don't have any panc attacks now. But the thoughts only!. 1 month ago I waked up to a scary dream. My mind told me i did something like that in my dream. The dream was like a crime scene. My mind kept on repeating it for like an hour that I did something like that. This never happened to me before. After an hour I went back to sleep.
Avatar f tn Scientists have long known that schizophrenia sometimes runs in families. The illness occurs in less than 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister. I can understand your fear, especially if you already deal with an anxiety disorder.........which is VASTLY different than schizophrenia.
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 Chronic anxiety, social phobias, post-traumatic stress syndrome, etc. are normal parts of the day-to-day life, and it is necessary to learn how to get rid of them rather than living with them. It's normal to get anxious before addressing a group of people or stress out before your first meeting with a new client.
Avatar f tn I mean I can masturbate to them without a problem, but as soon as I’m done all the doubt just starts to set in again. I’m trying, I swear to go I’m trying to just calm myself and not react to anything but it feels helpless. There are more important things going on in the world right now it seems unfair that being gay is all I think about. Please, if you have any advice I’ll be glad to listen.
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.
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 t really say what is making you think psychosis, a fear? a thought? I know i worry alot and really had to be convinced i wasn't crazy, i couldn't believe a sane person could have these thoughts and sensations and still have a hard time believing the right situation will put me right over the edge. I am reading a book, what to say when you talk to yourself, and changing up that self talk that was convinced i was not sane has helped alot. I read my list over and over and over.
1611340 tn?1298259263 for instance, I have intense deja vu at least 10 times a day, and often times I feel out of it, experencing memories of dreams or past experiences (no significant experiences, just random memories or dreams) and they seem to overcome my regular thinking and thoughts of what is going on right now. It is difficult to explain, but the best way I could describe it is as if they are these moments of zoning out and having deja vu or these random memories.
Avatar f tn I have no real reason to be scared but I just always fear that I will get bad news,... But if u plan to keep the baby you have to do it.just try not to think about it, and get it over with.once yo do it, it will be done and you will just need to try to relax and wait. It's better to be safe than sorry anyways. Most likely your totally fine and Once u do it you won't have to worry about again.
