Avatar f tn Chronic anxiety, social phobias, post-traumatic stress syndrome, etc. are normal parts of the day-to-day life, and it is necessary to learn how to get rid of them rather than living with them.

Avatar f tn To be honest, it makes me feel bad to hide this from my husband but if I have to get professional help, I will have to tell him. I would like to see how far I can go by managing this by myself before I think I am falling off the wagon again. Then maybe I do have to tell him. I would like to tell you that I am very appreciative of your response. It is not everyday that I get to talk about this with someone.

Avatar f tn My boyfriend is very knowledgeable about sex and stuff and constantly reassures me that I had zero risk and that he would never put me in a position to worry as he knows I have anxiety issues.

I just want to know tips from fellow anxiety sufferers or paranoia sufferers, how do you cope with this? can we possibly move on? its like I know I have no risk but like something holds me back and ***** me into a bottomless pit of misery.
Avatar f tn ve been where you are and I am honestly still trying to overcome anxiety and worry. I saw a therapist once and she told me I wasn't that bad off and that I just needed to keep track of my worries in a journal and my negative thoughts to try and see where the anxiety was coming from.
Avatar n tn ) and they are safe to take during pregnancy. Apart from that, as your uterus grows during pregnancy, your other organs have to make room, which often affects the digestive system. You could try eating smaller meals more often, avoid acidic foods (like tomato sauce) and avoid the foods that cause you to have gas. Sorry, not sure what duodilon is.

As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.
Avatar m tn You think about who you could contact to go with you to these treatments, how you get there, how you get back. how you would tell your boss and who could step in to do the work at your job while you are absent. The steps you would take sequentially to arrange your private affairs. Steps you would take to do something you had always wanted to do but have never got around to. Think about what you would do if the treatment worked--what special things might you do to celebrate.

Avatar n tn My therapist taught me deep breathing and relaxation techniques. He taught me at the first sign of panic to start this breathing. He also said I needed to learn how to NOT be afraid of an anxiety attack and actually encourage them to "come on." I was terririfed to do this.

590280 tn?1310087366 i stay away from anyone or anyplace that is likely to be using, buying or selling. i try to stay close to people who are serious about recovery. i remember how bad it can get, and i haven't forgotten how to pray. oxycontin was my best friend to the tune of 600-800 mg a day as was alcohol. my best friend almost killed me and i saw it kill others, only after it took away their dreams, relationships and dignity and reduced them to empty shells of what they once were.
Avatar m tn I have no idea how to help you overcome your apparently severe ticklishness, perhaps therapy would offer some useful insight. I don't know how often you are approached by people wielding a "vibration device," but I would try yelling, in a very loud and forceful tone of voice "NO!" Or "STOP! I DO NOT LIKE THAT!
Avatar f tn I mean I can masturbate to them without a problem, but as soon as I’m done all the doubt just starts to set in again. I’m trying, I swear to go I’m trying to just calm myself and not react to anything but it feels helpless. There are more important things going on in the world right now it seems unfair that being gay is all I think about. Please, if you have any advice I’ll be glad to listen.
