Avatar f tn Tell him, in all seriousness, that there is a way to rid a house of ghosts. Then do it. Walk around in every room with him and each of you carry a lit candle. Shine it around, and sing as you go. Any song will do. In your other hand, carry a spray bottle with water. Spray the water in each room as you go. Open the closets and sing and spray and let the candlelight fall in every dark corner.
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 m tn I don't think it will actually harm him to stand when going #2, though it doesn't seem to be the healthiest way (since squatting is seen as more healthy than sitting, one would assume that the further a person gets from squatting the more far from what nature intended). If he were my kid, though, I would want to help him get over the irrational fear that is causing him to stand up in the first place. My son is about to be 7 and he is afraid of ghosts.
Avatar n tn when I was younger and never have gotten over my fear of dolls/mannequins. I am also still afraid of the dark due to other childhood experiences. However, I did find that me keeping my door open to the hallway, hallway light on, or the light on in my closet helped. Also, I liked to turn the radio on low and hear the live radio chatter.
Avatar n tn I feel it is an excuse to try and sleep in our bed (as that is always HIS solution to the problem when asked what he would like to do about it). Any insight as to why he would be afraid of ghosts/dark suddenly would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn 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. I'm ok as long as I don't have any major "drop offs" thus limiting the area's where I can ski. I've tried to overcome the fear with little success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar m tn I know it is unlikely but it triggers fear, a big kind of fear.. This is all anxiety right? Nothing psychotic, I read it's either u r psychotic or not, and moreover prozac at my age wont cause any psychosis right?
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 It's all started with a panic attack a year back. I thought I was going crazy. Went to a local psychiatrist and he told me I have GAD. And gave me a anti-anxiety pill. Took for like a week and started to have sleep problems. So I stopped it. Being coping with my anxiety since then. And living with the fear of schiz. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's so hard. Read so many articles about schiz OCD in Internet to make me feel ok. But with that new symptoms I figuring out.
Avatar f tn My first thought was 'anal glands'....but as you've had him thoroughly checked by the sound of it, that doesn't seem to be it. It's nothing to do with insects, moths or flies, is it? Sudden nerve pains? (But that may not cause him to watch something invisible in the room.) Is he on any medication which could cause side effects? Hallucinations? Now it's often hard to tell if a dog has hallucinations, as they are not going to tell you about it.
Avatar m tn My 6 yr old son is afraid of everything. He won't go be in a room by himself even if I'm right next door. He follows me around constantly because he is afraid to be alone. He talks about ghosts a lot. He's not ADD or on any medication. He is driving me crazy with these fears. I can't even go to the bathroom without him most of the time because he's so afraid. What should I be doing? I've talked to him about his fears and the ghosts.
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 One year ago I had surgery to remove a shifted posterior lens (from '97 cataract surgery). It was replaced with an anterior lens. In the process, the iris was torn to the extent that the new lens does not completlely cover my enlarged pupil, resulting in light "ghosts" to left of object light plus "ghosts of those ghosts" to right of object light. Vision 20-60, at best.
Avatar f tn Call me cat. I just woke up from another weird "experience". Its new to me. I have a problem I know. Otherwise I'd be asleep right now. It comes out of nowhere. I know I'm asleep. But it strikes. I wake up suddenly. My whole body feels like It's pulsing. I can feel my heart actually racing behind my neck. I have problems breathing. I don't remember dreaming but I wake up screaming my little sisters name usually.
Avatar f tn Under suitable conditions light falling on the eye may render visible certain objects within the eye itself. So, this type of problem make an issue after some time so as soon as possible you go for the eye care specialist. I hope your problem overcome early.
Avatar f tn You may also have a little bit of a psychological response because in the back of your mind you are leery of taking any opiates after your experience with them.
Avatar m tn I become so frightened during the period of time where I try to fall asleep that I simply do not do it. I find myself finding excuses to stay awake. It's not the sleep itself that scares me, it's the part where I lay in the dark and the silence. I'm afraid of all kinds of crazy things that don't bother me when I am not trying to sleep. I can't keep anything that is bothering me, any kinds of irrational fears, or any unusual superstitions out of my head.
Avatar f tn My step son is eight years old and he has a fear of the dark. More specifically he is afraid that a serial killer will get him in the dark. He doesn't fear monsters or ghosts or any of the "normal" childhood fears and the specific fear cocerns me. I am sure it has something to do with seeing something on TV. I have found plenty of solutions to fears of monsters and and dark shadows but this is new to me and I am curious if there is anything I can do to help him over come this fear.
Avatar n tn I had a traumatic experience when I was a young child which left me with the fear of uncontrolled bleeding. I have attempted to overcome this fear through therapy and work in medical and dental offices. However, it returns to paralyze me at times. I need a molar extracted due to an abcess and the fear of bleeding has returned. I have had extractions in the past and obviously I survived but the anxiety continues to be huge.
Avatar n tn It is said that younger children are able to see angels or ghosts as they have not been long left the spiritual world to be in the natural world. Smaller children have less of a fear of seeing such. As long as he isn't afraid then I would not worry about it and hopefully with time he won't mention it again if he starts experiencing frightening sightings then you may want to soeak with a doctor regarding it.
Avatar f tn worried about the attack, sometimes I thought of just hack care it, go enjoy myself and started to plan something but my fear or worried will just come naturally ,my head will start to be very tense as if my blood pressure is shooting high, like I'm going to get stroke? I don't know why, I kept telling myself it's ok just relax, but the horrid feeling make me stop my planning again, my children is sad that I always disappoint them. I'm very sad too.
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.
Avatar m tn My son who is around 3.2 yrs has a constant fear of winds and rains .This fear comes from the fact that a couple of days back our window broke due to heavy rains and winds.And one of the glasses from the window fell on my wife's leg leaving a deep cut with blood oozing out. He was an audience to all these events and from that day on he has manifested the fear of winds. Now with the slighest of winds he gets scared making him un easy and cranky.
Avatar f tn Ok I'm a 15 year old male who has had many shots in life. Not in recent past though. My cousins always talked about fear of needles, and until that time I didn't mind them. Now they are the scariest things. At least I think remember I haven't had a shot recently except for at the dentist. I have readabout passing out when recieving a shot, although would that happen to me since I never have before? Do numbing solutions work?
637356 tn?1301924822 I always heard the dark ones are evil and they are there with him for some reason, i couldnt tell you what the reason is because i dont know, but they of all of them would scare e the most...Lots of thumbs up for calling the preacher he can help alot.
