Avatar f tn So, when my 3 year old was born via induction which i do not suggest unless u have to cuz it was hell! My now mother in law basically made my day about her because i wouldnt allow her in the room. To me it is a comfort issue and i only want my mom and the hubs in there. Now i am told she is asking again and ive made my position clear but i have a sinking feeling i will have a repeat on my hands. Last time the hubs about got himself booted from the room,as he was little use to me.
Avatar m tn I feel as though my mind and body are disconnected. I will be mentally prepared and mentally comfortable to be infront of a crowd but my body has a mind of its own. I start seeing black spots, face turns red, and hands SHAKE uncontrollably. I have tried to combat these symptoms by practice but it simply is not working. I wanted to know if any anxiety medications would help with this or is it just a bad idea or simply wont work? Any suggestions on meds or techniques greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend and I live together and he seems to think its ok for him and his ex wife to talk at least 2-5 times a day (and that's the times I know about) to talk about their two daughters who are seventeen and nineteen (soon to turn 20 next month). He explains that they are at critical points in their lives and he and his ex are co-parenting to get them into adulthood. He says he likes to hear about the girls from the exes perspective.
Avatar f tn This is my husbands and I second child, our first was a girl and this time we wanted a boy so we could be finished, however it turned out to be another girl. He is accepting of this, thinking they we would try again, but I don't want to. Having three kids would be very overwhelming for me personally. I told him this and he respects my wishes, but I feel guilty because deep down I know he desires a boy....help!
Avatar m tn “Their love for the Earth is so real, they couldn’t even use a trash can,” tweeted a disgusted @chelsea_elisa, along with a photo of an overflowing trash can in Manhattan, after tens of thousands of marchers invaded the city on fleets of smog-producing buses.
Avatar f tn I am just trying to get the help through this and am happy to here I can be of some help to anyone else. Hang in there.
603015 tn?1329862973 Yeah, I talk to myself and pace in little circles a lot. I hate that. I just can't seem to shut up sometimes. I do okay in groups of people that I know a lot better than in groups I don't It isn't the "crowd" that bothers me. It is the noise. The talking all around me. I do fine like a restaurant where it is low tones. I can even go to a baseball game once in a while. But like the mall at Christmas time gets me.
Avatar n tn I have always been told to smile when i am in public, i have had some people who have told me that the world is not a difficult place to live in (because i am not smiling). As a result of this problem, i have lost a lot of friends and i consider my self not having any social life. Most of the time, i am alway alone in public ( i am not a loner, i really want to be social and have a lot of friends but my lack of smile and being shy would not allow me).
Avatar n tn I think therapy is your next step. You've obviously always been too hard on yourself, trying to be too perfect. That's a sign of anxiety or depression, and a warning to get yourself into therapy and learn how to go easier on yourself and on others.
1145691 tn?1291478338 It really depends on the type of music...becuase that will determine that type of crowd. If it's going to bring a crowd thats rowdy I'd skip it. If it's the kind of crowd where people will be relatively still or you could sit in the field and not be right up on people I'd say it's ok. What time of day is it? If it's during the peak hours of the heat, do you think you could take like a beach umbrella or something to sit under?
Avatar f tn Here is a question I have asked a fellow member but would also like to put to everyone else as my mind doesn't allow me to believe myself sometimes. I have a constant fear of contamination with hiv and fear environmental transmission from inanimate objects that have somehow got the virus on them be it through blood or other contaminated fluids (usually blood). I then fear the rapid spread of the virus from one object to another.
Avatar f tn I have read a lot about people experiencing anxiety because they anticipate things happening, like being afraid of talking on the phone or being afraid of boarding a plane because it might crash. I only experience anxiety when certain things actually happen.
Avatar m tn m talking to a crowd of people sometimes I get nervous and my eyes start clenching. Some kind of facial spasm. There are many more but I'd like to hear your opinion on this. Much appreciated.
Avatar f tn I think my anxiety/depression problem stems around my relationship with my boyfriend. I am starting to think he is bi-polar. He verbally abuses me on a regular basis. He makes me feel so low, I cry for a couple days after a fight. He is successful, intelligent, eccentric and makes a lot of money. He has called me a idiot, loser, crazy and that I have to "earn his respect" whenever I try and defend myself he gets in this rage and the insults start.
Avatar m tn Whether the departure of a loved one is sudden, or has been anticipated over a period of time, we experience a powerful and complex range of emotions of grief - including disbelief, shock, anger, hatred, guilt, loss of faith, fear of the future, loneliness, regret.
Avatar f tn By NBC News staff President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a break from their often rancorous campaigns to poke fun at each other and themselves at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner in New York, Thursday night. Romney told the formal white tie and gown crowd that, "it's nice to finally relax and wear what Anne and I wear around the house." Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney addresses the Alfred E.
Avatar m tn When I was at the carnival this week and it was crowded with so many people where I'd never been around that many people before I think I went catatonic because I went into a stupor and kept zoning out staring at the crowds and such and couldn't focus or anything else. People would talk to me and I couldn't focus on them. I don't do good around large crowds and this was way more than I'd ever been around before.
Avatar f tn How about talking to your doctor about anxiety and OCD? That would be a logical place to start in order to make this better.
Avatar m tn brain, but I am analyzing whole conversation and trying to remember if there was a loop in video. Even though we took off our glasses to prove each other we were "real". And she was constantly asking things like "Are you alone in the room? It seems like you are talking with someone?" and it took me 15 mins to make her show me ****. I am now searching on various sites for my video, even though there is a big possibility it doesn't even exist.
Avatar f tn 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. He is old enough to begin to understand these things and I think that if you take the mystery and fear out of it, he may not worry so much.
Avatar n tn Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier. You have to take your control back. I should really learn to take my own advice.
Avatar f tn That it takes more of person to be able confess to such a thing. There was no talk of hell. To me when a person is down they think more of religion and of a God. I know that is wrong. When they are fine it is not even a thought. Just the way of the world. Finding that something you can have faith in. Doesn't even have to be a religion. That is optional.
Avatar m tn The next thing she remembers is coming to and struggling to get up. Apparently, there was a stranger who sat not too far away and was now bending over her--she had keeled over. But when she came to, she deflected and declined all help. She told the now small-gathering crowd that she needed someone to hand her her purse because her needles were inside. She had assured the crowd that this has happened before, if someone could only hand her her purse.
1564025 tn?1302034758 Beside keeping track of the mood, you can also check a wide range of symptoms and write down whatever you want in the journal. A lot of the time I need just a few words or couple of phrases to jog down my feelings; beside my own venting for the moment, I can also reflect on them later. In your case, may be you can keep track of your own swing from "good" to "bad" and catch it before it really turns bad. I hope this help and good luck.
