Avatar f tn I got a letter from my school stating that since I show effort in class and have pretty good grades they are inviting me and my parents to breakfast and then will have an awards ceremony. I am soo scared to eat in front of people. I'm fine with my parents but none of my friends are going either. All people I don't know or don't like. I'm picky about food too and I know I'm not going to like it so how can I eat it without looking grossed out?
Avatar f tn first of all don't think you're into any kind of depression.. just think that it's a habit of yours to not talk to people and overcome this by taking small steps because you at any cost cannot let this habit of yours prevail and you know that so **** that fear and go out to do small things that eliminate your fear of this. This will start making you happier.
Avatar m tn It is IN-FRONT of ear, right next to it, and is inside, not on skin.. A fact is, couple of hours after yoga, it seems like fully gone, and it re-appears at afteroon, like a small bulge..
Avatar f tn I don't have many people I can call friends for when I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) we lost touch. They were too busy I was busy and we just had a hard time hanging out and keeping in touch. As for my family they never approved of my husband so we just stopped talking all together. Trust me when I had moved in with him there were a couple of nights that I cried because I missed my mom and being around my noisy family.
Avatar f tn I am now struggling to cope with the fear of dying, its only recently become very serious, in feb of this year i found out i was expecting my second child, and because i thought i could get pregnant then surely nothing is wrong with me, then tragically i lost the baby and after going through all the motions of miscarrying i suddenly thought well something must be wrong and it has gone on from their, i am constantly checking myself, thinking im pale, checking my tongue, thinking my fingers tips
Avatar m tn , I guess they say that way by ignoring the problem since they have some problem in talking to us on the front, nor addressing our Eyes, it is almost as if they were fleeing from us. I think most PATMers are good people, at least me; I have never been jealous (maybe in the past for my brother's toy), I am not raping girls or minors, I do not hate other people, we do not kill, we do not steal, etc. I was with good life, I worked and studied Ing.
Avatar m tn First, a doctor said that the heart beat and the feelings i had had were because of stress and tiredness, because i used to stay up at night in front of the computer, I used to stay up even till morning, especially in the summer time. Now, i don't usually go to bed later then 12:30, i try to eat better, exercise daily and all that. I do spend a fair amout of time in front of the computer though.
Avatar m tn Thank you for reply. "loop" is prerecorded video that doesn't last for long and is used on such web-sites to trick people into thinking they are talking with person that is showed on video. Something like in that movie "Speed" with Sandra Bullock(if you watched it) when she tricks hijacker into thinking nothing is happening in bus.
Avatar f tn I have a fear of death. Mostly the death of a loved one. I worry so much that if I lost one of my family members I don't know what would happen to me, I think I would go crazy, it would ruin my life, I feel like crying when I think about it, I shouldn't worry but I do, which makes it worse because they are going to all die one day, this scares me because they are so important to me.
595125 tn?1219834270 One person in one of the threads mentioned that when you feel that fear coming in big tidal waves to just let it wash all over you instead of fighting it, I tried it and it works. What you have to remember is that the fear in you subsides, it will not last, you just have to arm yourself with coping mechanisms.
Avatar n tn Have you had changes in medication. Don't worry about whether or not people are talking about you. If you don't work on yourself you can't change the people around you. Peace starts within and then spreads without. I hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn It is called emetaphobia. Welcome to the club. It ***** big time. Landed me in hospital because I wouldn't eat at one stage in my life. Lost so much weight that they feared for me. That is how bad it can get. In my mind it should be treated as the third eating disorder because it does force people to stop eating. Like any other eating disorder. But doctors have no idea how to treat it. Like it is something new to them. I was giving a tablet called stemitil. Stops you throwing up.
Avatar m tn Considering also 5 years, I believe the previus partners of my partner would already developed symptoms. Or even other people, or even the first hosts of the disease. Or even people with multiple partner and imunodepressed. I really want to move on and be happy with a girl. I've behaved properly over the last years, but I just can't get rid of this phantom, I have problems with OCD, paranoia and depression, so I'd ask you please to help me to solve this out.
Avatar n tn m betting it has to do with fear of failing in something, or of not meeting expectations, or of something you have not completed, something you are afraid to try. Or a mix of stuff like that. It may be extremely difficult to talk about this with a parent or with anyone at all. But you can talk about it HERE, if you want to. You are very fortunate to have this fear of dying right now, because the causes are fairly recent.
Avatar f tn s almost impossible to happen (especially in Lithuania because in our country there are no bat-human rabies transmission documented) and that i don't even know if it was bat but I keep thinking that it was bat and that i will get rabies from it. I don't know what should I do.
246464 tn?1249452147 I also recommend talking to a doctor about finding an anti-depressant that works for you. A lot of people take them, and it helps them. Third, spend your time with people - find activities to do that you think are worthwhile.
1157646 tn?1343967128 Oh now i see well do not be do not let the fear control you it should be fine ..
Avatar f tn I am extremely introverted and almost always keep to myself unless I absolutely have to go out in public. When I was younger I was a little more "outgoing" but over the years I have developed severe Social Anxiety to the point where I have practically lived like a hermit for the last 15 years (not always fun!). I am writing today to find out if people and their attitudes have changed over the last 20 years or if it's "just me".
Avatar m tn Isolation magnifies negative thinking. Now, you might just prefer being alone, lots of people do. But if you don't like being alone, if you have been wanting a romantic relationship, etc., then you have isolated yourself without wanting to. If that's the case, a therapist is a really good idea to find out why you're doing this. Most of us are pretty tribal, humans are a herd animal, so while many do like being alone, it's not our evolutionary nature.
Avatar f tn No sweetie, her death could not have been prevented, and I'm pretty sure she knew it was coming. Was her death your first experience with losing a loved one? Mine was losing my father to gallbladder cancer. We all knew he was going to die, but I just couldn't face it - or him. I was so afraid of breaking down in front of him and making him feel worse that I shied away.
Avatar f tn A fear of death is quite normal and is actually a fear of the unknown. Has he know someone or something (pet) that has died or seen it on TV? I don't know your spiritual background, but whatever it is, that is a good place to start talking to him about it. Speak to him about (your belief) of what happens after death and that it is a natural process of life.
Avatar f tn Two summers ago I painted a lot of rooms and hallways in my house. The walls were in bad shape so I used a lot of spackle and did a lot of sanding. For the most part I wore a dust mask. I just read that the spackle I used contains silica which is a known carcinogen (lung cancer).
1574975 tn?1317072090 Hello all, I had suffered from a very traumatic energy about a year ago. For as long as I can remember, I have always been an axious kid.

I have a good job, am in school to recieve my RN license, a loving boyfriend and a great family. I have been put on Zoloft 100mg daily and Ativan 0.5 PRN.
667078 tn?1316000935 My parents are control freaks and I get tired of explaining that if I feel fine one morning for example, I want to walk and not have you bring things to me or drop me off in front of a store. If I need that I will ask. Little things like that take away what little control I feel I have.
