fear
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.
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.
But then I found out about that condition and I cannot for the life of me find a definitive answer on whether or not it’s “extremely rare” or “not uncommon.” I can’t stop thinking about this. I wanna throw up. I don’t know what to do. I have such an intense phobia of fly larvae that the very thought of this ever happening to me makes me want to die. I don’t know what to do.
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!
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.
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?
I have a fear of catching STDs especially HIV. That's the reason why I stopped my sex life but then started seeing someone I really like.
We use protection each time but I worry about HIV rest of the time. I'm waiting to get tested once it passes 4 weeks.
All I do is read about STDs and just worry.
What are my chances of getting HIV when I protect myself? I just want to live a normal life.
plz help me to come out of the vicious cycle of fear. I will be grateful to you all my life. I have two kids & wife. I don't have any help from anyone. I was coping with the anxiety symtoms (chest pain/palpitation/chest tightness/dizziness/lightheadedness/jelly leg etc), by reading Dr. Claire weekes book, that, anxiety will not kill you. Now I came to where I was in the beginning.

This is typically treated like phobias and anxiety conditions with the recommendation to work with a psychiatrist and counselor and perhaps incorporate medication. This, of course, would depend on the severity of your fear and how debilitating it is to your life. That is just general information for those who are reading this.

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.
So even if I were to reduce or get over the fear of one thought, that will leave me with the full-blown fear of all the other thoughts as well (and there are a countless number of them).
Finally, in terms of this depression somehow getting better or even completely going away, how would that ever work given this situation? You already know that depression is something that reduces pleasure activity in the brain which is obviously what leads you into feeling depressed.

I wonder if anyone could recommend a good program for me to seek some help regarding my irrational fear of STDs. Every time a practice a sexual act with a new partner i become overcome with paranoia and fear that i have caught something, such that i self medicate, spend $100's on testing and my life grinds to a halt whilst i spend days trawling the net for any piece of information or confirmation of imaginary symptoms.
So here's my story. For as long as I can remember I have always had an anxiety disorder. I have been on lots of medicine and haven't found one that actually works. My anxiety is at an all time high. Five months ago I had unprotected sex. Immediately after I began to stress out. 50 days after the encounter I paid $280 for a hiv RNA test. Then I took five oraquicks. Then got a blood antibody test at 88 days. Then at four months took another oraquick. All my results have been negative.
For me it is the concept of having to take a pill for the rest of my life. Then there is the fear that it begins with one pill and then you have to go on many other pills to counteract the side effects.
So my question to membes is how does one overcome this fear of medication. I know I have to learn to conquer this anxiety, so any responses would be appreciated.
Thanks.
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.
