I'm 30 and afraid of the dark. Welcome to the club.
Fears never leave us, sadly. It sounds like bad news, but we can learn to manage them. I've been diagnosed with sever anxiety, GAD, panic, and depression. I'm not on meds. I manage it. I don't recommend this as the path for you/everyone, I'm just putting it out there to say: I know where you're at.
The thing is, I've friends who're famous musicians, and terrified of performing.
Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
I first have to ask why someone with an "extreme HIV phobia" would work in a lab such as you do. I have an extreme fear of snakes and they couldn't pay me enough to work around the things.
I also can't understand how someone in your position in not one of the most highly qualifed people to know how difficult it is to actually contrract HIV.
You say that you always wear the correct protective gear while working with these specimens.
Now I am not afraid of being around people, making friends, or speaking in front of people. In fact, I have very good self-esteem. I do not worry about the world, I do not have a fear of being judged. Its just that whenever I am going to eat in a social situation, friends, family, my girlfriend, I become nauseous, have stomach aches, and lose my appetite. I use to think I had a fear of throwing up, but do not anymore.
i have a phobia of hiv/aids which i think has been brought on by OCD because i never used 2 be scared of it, im in constant fear of blood and people throwing it at me on the street and also people always having blood on them. i know this all sounds really stupid but i just cant help it. it used to be finding plasters and needles everywhere but that stopped and now this has started. so if anyone can help me it would really be much appriciated.
So I had protected sex 3 weeks ago .the sex worker also jerked me off with a condom and a minute or 2 larer she takes it off and jerks me off which i pdidnt ejaculate .10 days later I went to the clinic which I told them the story and told me that there was no risk and only tested me for chlamydia and gonorrea which are the most commons one in montreal. Results came back negative . But I am always nervous about hiv although inside of me I now that I don't have hiv.
Exactly, I have an extreme phobia for HIV. At the same time, I cannot even resist myself from having sex. But I never have penetrative sex only handjob and insertive oral. Thanks for your answer.
My main objective is to give you some insight into your chronic phobia of the dark. The fear of the dark is a very valid phobia to begin with and could branch into many other more specific phobias, such as nyctophobia, the fear of the darkness and the main one I wish to talk to you about now.
Nyctophobia is any fear of darkness and it does not have to be chronic. It is usually caused by a magnification of the brain's natural perception of what could happen in a dark environment.

First of all, I absolutely LOVE your username! You MUST get a picture to go with it!
JS has given you the only advice there is, and as usual, it IS the best. I'm rather suprised I don't have this same phobia as my older brother use to pee on me when we were kids! He sure got a lot of laughs out of it......at least until I whacked "it" with a stick and then he didn't think it was so funny anymore!
When you wrote that anything that is wet, you assume it's urine.........
m 33 yrs.old as I sit in my room and weigh the pros and cons of sending my daughter to daycare because her classmate was throwing up when I picked her up yesterday! Of course I was immediately feeling uneasy because of it and took meds last night to not throw up! I've talked to a therapist about it& it's done no good. This has been with me my ENTIRE Life! As a 6yr.old I sat outside my house for hours because a family member had a virus.
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.
I started taking concerta 8 months ago and it has made ia great change in the fear I USED to have speaking in front of people . I till stutter but not near as often when speaking in front of adults .

If you have a fear of heights, you might drive three hours out of your way to avoid crossing a tall bridge. Or if the prospect of public speaking leaves your stomach in knots, you might skip your best friend’s wedding in order to avoid giving a toast. Aside from the inconvenience factor, the problem with avoiding your fears is that you never have the chance to overcome them. In fact, avoiding your fears often makes them stronger.
Once I was in kitchen n felt some thing in my hair and instantly I felt panic as I had masturbated in shower same day.
ve learned four different forms of meditation -- TM, the one I do regularly, which is a Hindu mantra based meditation, Mindfulness, which can be done in different ways but is basically watching your breath, Shinay, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation where you watch a point in front of you, and a Taoist meditation. There are a million of them, but what I like about learning them in a spiritual setting is that they get you to start meditation without you realizing it.
re old enough that that fear is no longer needed to keep you safe and is probably a hinderance, getting in the way of positive male relationships that you probably crave. you can move out of that stage of fear but you will need help to unravel and begin to understand where it came from. take care and best of luck. ps don't be discouraged if you don't like the first therapist you meet.
