Avatar n tn Good or evening or day or night or afternoon Torin and hello. Great name, by the way. My name is Hamed Khatiz and I am a student, drummer, writer, band manager and many more from Sydney, NSW. 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.
Avatar m tn condoms are extremely effective against the transmission of HIV. Why not get tested after a certain amount of time...it is the responsible thing to do anyway. Health anxiety can be very hard to deal with, but you can rest easily that you did the smart thing by having protected sex. In my opinion, if this worries you, change your behavior...going going to a brothel may not be the best option if you are worried about contracting an STD....keep us posted!

Avatar n tn t let the fear get the better of you. Try to divert yourself, read a book. You should not keep thinking about sleeplessness, as this in turn promotes insomnia and it becomes a vicious cycle. There is a circadian rhythm for all living organisms. It is a 24 hour cycle rhythm and the biological clock within that individual adapts to this rhythm.
Avatar n tn Do you think a 12 year old boy being afraid of the dark is just that afraid of the darkness or could it be caused by underlying emotional and/or mental stress?

Avatar m tn Hi all I'm currently struggling with some unwanted, intrusive thoughts. They are morbid, violent, abhorrent thoughts (not urges) that will creep into my mind from time to time.

925572 tn?1246540031 Please don't lose hope, and don't hurt yourself. That horrible, deep, dark hole is the worst thing in the world. There are meds that can be taken during pregnancy; please work with your doctor. Please DO get help if it gets too bad...it's alway available, not something to fear or be ashamed of...short term hospitalization could help get a treatment plan for your pregnancy in place while you stay safe. Take care. Let us know how you're doing. I care.

Avatar n tn Somniphobia or hypnophobia is the fear of falling asleep. It can be caused by many things such as the fear of losing control. There are CBT therapies for this fear. You need to see a psychiatrist. As Julie said there are meds to help you relax and be less anxious about bedtime. You should not put this off. It is terribly unhealthy both mentally and physically. You need sleep.
