Avatar f tn I'm a FTM, and I'm 33w1d. I have a huge fear of the unknown, and I'm terrified that I won't know I'm having contractions. Tonight, I've had a lot of pressure and I'm feeling her move a lot. I know some women here have said they've had some bleeding, I haven't had any bleeding but I'm just nervous that when the time comes, I won't know. What do contractions feel like?
Avatar f tn I have a fear of going to hell when I die. Currently the biggest thing is I got a new bed set and it had some unknown red dye or something on it. I have an irrational fear that touching the red dye will make me go to hell. I can't seem to get over it. Any suggestions?
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.
1269044 tn?1393189903 This is pretty common to be feeling this way and yes time is the word! The fear of the unknown is very scary but it is also a time when we leave that that we find ourselves. Stepping out of our comfort zone is very hard. It makes us feel vulnerable to everything. Now is the time to make a new path for yourself. There is so much to discover now that you are clean. Take that step. You will be okay.
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 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 f tn Ocd is all about the fear of the unknown, and in order to overcome it, you have to embrace the fact that it could be true. I know it's scary and reading that probably brought up a lot of anxiety but until you embrace the fact that you simply don't know, you won't detach it from your fear.
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 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.
