My son is 13, he is so scared of the dark, we have put him a night light in his room, he has fish tank that we leave the light on, we also have a fishlight on in the hallway and one in the bathroom, not to mention he has a big security light just outside his window. I have started letting either his sister or his little brother sleep in the room with him because he has two twin beds. This is the only way we all can get a night of sleep.

Hi, I was in Macau last week and I visited a sauna with a bunch of my friends when I was drunk. I ended up receiving unprotected oral sex from a commercial sex worker there and nothing more. The way she performed it was that she would gargle first with Listerine and then proceed with the deed. Now I have a few questions... 1. What is my risk in contracting HIV? Should I get tested? 2.

According to me, you should go for eyecare specialist they helps you to reduce your problem because Entoptic phenomena are visual effects whose source is within the eye itself. In Helmholtz's words, "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.

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.

t terribly worried about monsters in the closets, but some folks get a sort of claustraphobia in the dark, almost a sense of disorientation, which the night light should help with. If this turns into a real problem where this persons sleep was being disturbed because of this fear, then I would suggest some time with a therapist to get to the root of the problem.

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.

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. Once we understand that dying is just for the body and the spirit moves back to the energy (the light) we are no longer afraid of dying.

Dear Doctors I am a 24 years old male from China with -6.50D high myopia. Around 2-3 months ago, I developed these floaters in my eyes. There are quite some of them. Right eye: one made up of a lot of dots, one like a straight line. Left eye: one rests in the bottom only appear when I look up or move eyes fast, one like a curve with knot, and also one made up with dots/bubbles. I was so seriously terrified when I had the symptoms. I rushed to several eye specialists since then.

Now I have a nasty stomach flu, and red dots across my back, with light brown freckles on my arms, and some oral thrush. I was tested at 82 days and was negative however the dr said I should test again at the 6 months mark. Am I overly worried, or does this seem like HIV, and my antibodies have not been made yet?

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.

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

I posted in the HIV forum a couple of times and they have basically told me not to worry because I had a no risk situation. But my 8 week test is coming up on friday and im full of fear.

I came on exchange to have adventure relax a bit and hopefully find a girl friend...I know weird reasons eh.
