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 f tn reading about it dont help it will just heighten your anxiety,the recorded deaths are tragic,but in comparrison to the success rate of themit do put it in to a prospective,just tell your fears to the person who is going to give you the needle ask any questions you need to ask and remember they cannot force you to have anything done that you dont wish to have done.
Avatar f tn Yes I know it would be embarrassing, but I think it would do both of you some good. Therapy can teach you how to get over your fear as well as teaching you how to be in love again. There sex therapist in most bigger cities, so if you live in a small town, make a nice trip out of it and spend a couple of nights in the city together. I can tell you that once you do give yourself permission to continue, you are going to be glad you did.
Avatar f tn Have you tried focused slow breathing, walking, aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage, redirect by doing something? Also...low Vitamin D3 and magnesium can contribute to anxiety and depression.
Avatar f tn To overcome anxiety, one must understand the logic of why the brain is feeling threatened, it sends messages to the body saying its under threat. New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts. However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying.
Avatar m tn I know this is like contamination OCD, but I’m struggling to overcome this one specific problem because of the “what if it happens?” thing is really scary/disturbing to me. So yeah I’ve been taking many preventative measures to ensure these scenarios will absolutely never ever even have a chance to transpire It feels more like a genuine concern but I know I’m probably being a bit paranoid and that most people wouldn’t even think of this.
Avatar m tn their is no chance of HIV without condom breakage...to overcome your fears ...take a test....taking a test can come out of fear 99% than googing...
Avatar m tn I am afraid I stepped on a syringe(iI know you are thinking this is crazy but yea damn OCD) I know this fear is ocd but I am trying to think of facts to confront this fear with,it worked with fear of HIV and oral sex.
Avatar f tn To those who recovered, what have you done to overcome this horrible eating disorder? Did you need to see a dr and seek help professionally? I have a stable job but not financially capable to seek professional help. Any advise will be welcomed. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I have developed a fear of heights that has interfered with my ability to enjoy my favorite winter sport...snow skiing. The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing.
Avatar m tn Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.
Avatar m tn Look, go to a doctor and get tested for HIV and STDs, all of them, and get this thing behind you as to what is going on. It's possible you don't have HIV or STDs, and this is another good reason to visit a doctor, he can diagnose what you DO have and give you treatment. By the way, you don't have to have intercourse to get an STD.
Avatar f tn Last week I went to a massage parlour in India and there they give me a blowjob with condom. But after that they did a intercourse. I am confused that at the time of intercourse the condom was there or they removed it. And this thought creating a fear of hiv in my mind.kindly help.
Avatar f tn If you are not comfortable breaching these limits then it is your personal right not to do so. I think you are going to have to explain this to your boyfriend. And in any case is Skype all that secure and private?
Avatar n tn Ok thank you very much! I hope that you are correct! I just don't know how to get rid of this PHOBIA! Perhaps i should take the 8 month test. But i can't get over the fear that i might turn positve and can't force my self to take the test. But i am also afraid if i don't take the test and make sure i am 100% HIV free i might be infected and not knowing about it. I know this is wierd but thats how i feel and i have no idea why.
Avatar m tn scarlett11 Try a sleep app that has dozens of recordings of therapists telling you how to go to sleep. You get to select which one you want to listen to, and I often listen to the same recording for months. Sometimes I fall asleep in the first few minutes but for that to work, I have to pay attention to what the speaker says.
1807579 tn?1317173697 Ok,This is a classic case of OCD related anxiety and fear of contamination concerning hiv and other infectious diseases,let me ease your mind right now.Hiv is ONLY transmitted through unprotected penerative vaginal or anal sex shared iv drug works with a known positive person or from hiv positive mother to infant and needlestick injuries in healthcare settings and thats it.The hiv virus becomes inactive as soon as it is exposed to air and therfore is unable to infect you.
Avatar m tn I was trying to get assurance on one symptoms, another symptoms I will pickup from the internet, like this cycle continuing, While browsing the anxiety I came across a word Variant Angina(which is without blockage, your arteries will go to temporary spasm/stop blood) I somehow manage to overcome this fear after lot of efforts but, one setback came, that, the way to diagnose is to hyperventilate the patient & do EKg. Since then i got more feared.
