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 f tn I am also studying Psychology in college and I was expecting to graduate next fall until I got the news I was pregnant. I was completely terrified and wasn't sure what to do, but the fear went away with time. I'm 19 weeks now and still a little nervous but I'm fitm believer that everything happens for a reason and god won't put more on you than you can handle. You are very blessed, good luck to you and tge decisions you make!
Avatar f tn Talk this over with your parents so they can get you therapy to learn how to break free of this fear. Good luck and take care!
Avatar n tn I agree with treazzure, and will add to not make a big deal when you leave her at daycare. Act excited and happy about her 'adventure' of going, otherwise she might catch on to your fear and upset. And most daycares won't mind if you go visit her briefly the first few months to make sure she's okay.

How you respond to them is how they respond to you; in other words, the more you worry about them the worse they will get, not only in the number of them per day but in the strength of them. The reason for that is because you are flooding your body with catecholiamines, it's the form of adrenalin that gives the body the "fight or flight" response to a threat.

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 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 n tn 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. My question is how did anyone overcome their fear of going to the dentist and is there some kind of home remedy I can take for this toothache any input would be appreciated Thanks!!
Avatar f tn First you said psychiatrist, now you say psychologist. The two are quite different. Psychiatrists these days just give out meds, they don't generally do therapy anymore. Psychologists can't prescribe meds, they just do therapy. Which to see depends on how badly your life is being affected and how many things are affecting it.
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 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.

But if we can overcome that, we always have a reserve to do more, go further, speed up in the end. With the Olympics, you see some lay down like they gave it all and others who just got a silver medal do a victory lap. Could the silver medalist gotten a gold if they used that reserve?
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 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. It's normal to get anxious before addressing a group of people or stress out before your first meeting with a new client.
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.
Avatar n tn If you were my patient, I would advise that you get yourself to a place where you are surrounded by people who are going to support you the best. For example, your mom or sisters, or even a sister in law. I would also advise you to see a counselor to determine whether you may have depression and/or may need medication. It could simply be that your spouse Is the problem, but it is certainly nice to have a spouse when you are expecting a baby.
Avatar f tn I am sorry you are going through this. In my experience, anxiety and panic can be very confusing and scary at first. Have you ever got help through counseling? I know for me just learning about it, made it much more easy to confront. In my opinion, we tend to fear things we don't understand, but with a little knowledge it can shed some light on the issues.
1390847 tn?1344657468 I have learned that facing your fear is the best way to overcome it, you'll learn that the only thing to really fear about vomiting is the fear itself. I can only base this on my own experiences. Before I had children I had a horrible fear of seeing someone after they've fallen and hit their head and I would run the other way. I had my first child and he fell on the side walk and my first instinct was to run but this was my little boy and his well being meant more to me than my fear.

Last question: Do I need test? I need mind satisfaction. I want to take test, however, I get scared and dont take it!
Avatar f tn I have no real reason to be scared but I just always fear that I will get bad news,... But if u plan to keep the baby you have to do it.just try not to think about it, and get it over with.once yo do it, it will be done and you will just need to try to relax and wait. It's better to be safe than sorry anyways. Most likely your totally fine and Once u do it you won't have to worry about again.
