Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn s even better, sit and relax taking in the sounds, and smell of the water. Sit in the sand and let the water flow over your feet and around you. Become familiar with it, and then venture into it little by little until you feel completely comfortable. Logic tells you that you will be fine, so it's important to face this fear and let it go. I love the ocean and all it has to offer, I'd hate to see you miss out on it. You can do this! Take care.
Avatar f tn And your fear of it going through the flor and contaminating your bed. Not possible. You need to go ahead and realize that this is a serious issue if you are irrational and having a phobia. Do you see a psychologist? If not, please do. This is treatable. Exposure therapy is the best for this type of thing. ERP therapy is what it is called and it is the gold standard. Medication helps too. Are there other things you have irrational fear about?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Here is how you get HIV, the ONLY way you'd get HIV: if you have unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex or sharing of drug needles. Hiv is inactivated by air and saliva. Every time you have a fear of HIV, remember that. It should alleviate the worry. If you didn't do these things, you aren't going to get HIV.
Avatar n tn does anyone else fear urine, i assume everything that is wet is urine, i have nt been able to have a hot shower for 10 years that will be too much for my mind to take i have to end my shower with freezing cold spray, and i keep checking the colour of the water to make sure its not urine, when i wsh clothes i cant be happy that my clothes are washed and fresh i keep worrying that maybe there is urine on them which can tbe possible because i think if i peed on anything surely firstly my clothes w
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn How can I get over a phobia. I have a very weird phobia, i always have the fear of some bug or creature flying in my ear. I never wear my hair up outside and I try to have my hair down inside too if i can. Even when i am sleeping i hate to have my ears not covered. What should i do?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn i am 100 percent vegan exercise 2 hr each day and do meditation daily besides a lobotomy what else can I do to relieve my fear of blood pressure reading from a dr? http://youtu.
17213106 tn?1456525991 ve personally taken all three and never suffered any side effects at all, and I managed health foods stores for 18 years and never heard of anyone reporting any side effects. Manukka honey is just another form of honey -- bees pollinating a particular plant that happens to produce a unique antibiotic other honeys don't have. DGL is just a form of common licorice, with the part taken out responsible for most of the side effects commonly reported from licorice (mostly high blood pressure).
105530 tn?1279585282 Mine is wide expanses of water like on a Cruise where there is nothing but miles and miles of deep water all around, that would be my worse nightmare even though I'm a strong swimmer,I absolutley freaked at the movie Titanic I totally missed the romantic side of it all I saw was water water everywhere ...... so I guess my Phobia is drowning.

Avatar m tn I have anxiety and a really big phobia of HIV. Mostly I think of scary stuff and then I'm anxious and then convinced the actual scary thought happened. Yesterday I cut my finger on the sharp edge of a shoe box at the store. It sliced my finger almost like a paper cut and started to bleed. I left the store and sat in my car debating on whether I could go in the next store with my bloody finger.
Avatar f tn I don't believe your fear of the dark is anything more than a phobia and it has nothing to do with OCD. I wish I had some sort of magic solution for you, but I don't. Many phobias can be dealt with by simply avoiding what causes the fear, like if someone had a phobia about water, don't go to the beach, if you had a phobia about ferris wheels, don't get on one. But the dark? Pretty difficult to avoid. Dark happens. Every day.
Avatar m tn My daughter had strep throat back in March and had a gagging incident around the same time. She was in fear of eating for about a month. She would only eat soft foods (yogurt, pudding, liquids, pediasure) she snapped out of it after a month, but now 4 months later she is acting the same way and she tells me she is scared of eating. She is scared she is going to choke. She goes to school and goes all day without eating, she only sips on milk. I am not sure what caused this phobia to come back...
Avatar f tn Oh. I read the title of the post. Maybe I saw the word phobia and then used it as essentially that was what the poster was implying. Sorry as nothing was intentionally posted to disagree. My eye sight is way too bad to use my phone for this. I have to enlarge and basically should probably wait until I am at my PC to be more 'PC'. Again just wanted to help the poster but didn't"t mean to step on toes.
Avatar f tn For example, you and I both know that the odds of getting a brain eating amoeba that is found in fresh warm water by swimming in a pool is obsurd. Regardless, to you this fear is very real. That's the funny thing about any and all mental illnesses. Even we sufferers, in our rational mind know that these fears are unfounded and obsessive, not to mention unrealistic. Despite this fact, to us they are very real and cause us a lot of stress and sometimes massive anxiety.
Avatar f tn You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives. Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age. Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them. Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!
Avatar m tn well storms should be avoided if in water so I agree get out of the pool , has he been frightened at any time by it ?
Avatar f tn t ejaculate at that time after 5 min she give me hand job and I ejaculate.

2183887 tn?1338721728 I understand, although I don't fear crowded spaces, or the toilet. I am absolutely terrified of heights and bees. I cant stand being to high off the ground or i start to hyperventilate. And when there's a bee near, I either run away screaming or start to shake with fear. But what I do is try to convince myself that I'm not going to die, an I try to regulate my breathing. That's what I suggest to you. Better yet, you should go see your doctor, and see what they have to say.
Avatar f tn 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. like any other relationship you need to find the right match and should trust and respect and like the person (a woman in your case to begin).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I'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.
