We use protection each time but I worry about HIV rest of the time. I'm waiting to get tested once it passes 4 weeks.
All I do is read about STDs and just worry.

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.
The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing. I'm ok as long as I don't have any major "drop offs" thus limiting the area's where I can ski. I've tried to overcome the fear with little success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
This condition is marked by a person’s imagination of physical symptoms of illness. This is what you need to talk to your doctor about. A therapist may help you. You have general anxiety as well also, it sounds. Now, I think everyone has some bit of anxiety from time to time. Few people love taking off in a plane and don't have a brief moment of 'what if'. It's normal. But does it impact you beyond that? Do you feel sick because of it, avoid the trip because of it?
Under suitable conditions light falling on the eye may render visible certain objects within the eye itself. So, this type of problem make an issue after some time so as soon as possible you go for the eye care specialist. I hope your problem overcome early.

Could anyone give me some advice. Thanks....
I become so frightened during the period of time where I try to fall asleep that I simply do not do it. I find myself finding excuses to stay awake. It's not the sleep itself that scares me, it's the part where I lay in the dark and the silence. I'm afraid of all kinds of crazy things that don't bother me when I am not trying to sleep. I can't keep anything that is bothering me, any kinds of irrational fears, or any unusual superstitions out of my head.
Just like all the times before, when I thought I had a heart problem or cancer or parkinsons, this time I feel this one is for real. Within the last three months I heard of three people who have ALS, so I found out a bit about it, but not too much detail. Just the fact that you lose your ability to function.
So I go about my life and then one day I decided to do stairs at my work (I work in a tall 15 story building).
I had a traumatic experience when I was a young child which left me with the fear of uncontrolled bleeding. I have attempted to overcome this fear through therapy and work in medical and dental offices. However, it returns to paralyze me at times. I need a molar extracted due to an abcess and the fear of bleeding has returned. I have had extractions in the past and obviously I survived but the anxiety continues to be huge.
Yeah I smoked for eight years and a bad case of bronchitis made me quit a few months ago but I still feel like something is wrong all the time. Its like I just can't quit worrying about it.
worried about the attack, sometimes I thought of just hack care it, go enjoy myself and started to plan something but my fear or worried will just come naturally ,my head will start to be very tense as if my blood pressure is shooting high, like I'm going to get stroke? I don't know why, I kept telling myself it's ok just relax, but the horrid feeling make me stop my planning again, my children is sad that I always disappoint them. I'm very sad too.
I was trying to get assurance on one symptoms, another symptoms I will pickup from the internet, like this cycle continuing, While browsing the anxiety I came across a word Variant Angina(which is without blockage, your arteries will go to temporary spasm/stop blood) I somehow manage to overcome this fear after lot of efforts but, one setback came, that, the way to diagnose is to hyperventilate the patient & do EKg. Since then i got more feared.
My son who is around 3.2 yrs has a constant fear of winds and rains .This fear comes from the fact that a couple of days back our window broke due to heavy rains and winds.And one of the glasses from the window fell on my wife's leg leaving a deep cut with blood oozing out. He was an audience to all these events and from that day on he has manifested the fear of winds.
Now with the slighest of winds he gets scared making him un easy and cranky.
Ok I'm a 15 year old male who has had many shots in life. Not in recent past though. My cousins always talked about fear of needles, and until that time I didn't mind them. Now they are the scariest things. At least I think remember I haven't had a shot recently except for at the dentist. I have readabout passing out when recieving a shot, although would that happen to me since I never have before? Do numbing solutions work?
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).
You are not gay,you are just depressed and confused which is normal at your age(the confusion part).Gay means to be attracted of males and one is born gay most of the time.Fingering your *** it's not gay.It's just experimentation.I see nothing wrong with being curious about your body at 19.
Even if you would have sex with a male once just to see how it is....this doesn't make you gay.And even if you would be gay,is this a reason to end up your life?
