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 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 f tn I see what you mean now. I never had 'health anxiety' issues so I guess it's hard for me to understand. Anxiety buried me and I didn't need to 'worry' about my health getting bad, it WAS bad. I wasn't worrried about dying from something, I wished I would die from something, hopefully not by my own hand, and I still do. It wasn't the unknown that scared the heck out of me it was what was really happening that did.

Avatar m tn Considering also 5 years, I believe the previus partners of my partner would already developed symptoms. Or even other people, or even the first hosts of the disease. Or even people with multiple partner and imunodepressed. I really want to move on and be happy with a girl. I've behaved properly over the last years, but I just can't get rid of this phantom, I have problems with OCD, paranoia and depression, so I'd ask you please to help me to solve this out.
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!

The only real failure comes when we allow our fear to prevent us from taking on new and unknown challenges. Just about every important figure in history has in fact lived a life marked by one mishap after another. But these individuals rose up again after every setback, prodded on by a spirit that refuses to concede defeat and relishes challenge, to eventually crown their lives with victory.
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 I have been on my medication non stop for three years and I show no signs of the illness. On the other hand if your niece is making claims about the devil and creatures, etc. I think her medication may need to be adjusted. It's not necessary to fear people with a serious mental illness. It is rare for someone with schizophrenia to become violent.
Avatar n tn Ok thank you very much! I hope that you are correct! I just don't know how to get rid of this PHOBIA! Perhaps i should take the 8 month test. But i can't get over the fear that i might turn positve and can't force my self to take the test. But i am also afraid if i don't take the test and make sure i am 100% HIV free i might be infected and not knowing about it. I know this is wierd but thats how i feel and i have no idea why.

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.
Avatar f tn Exactly, I have an extreme phobia for HIV. At the same time, I cannot even resist myself from having sex. But I never have penetrative sex only handjob and insertive oral. Thanks for your answer.
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 f tn Hi there. You need to speak to your parents so they can take you to your doctor for a thorough check-up. If they say it's anxiety then they need to address this by referring you to a therapist. A therapist can determine "why" you're having anxiety and help you to overcome it. You're not alone we hear from a lot of young people like yourself, but it takes a professional to help you with this.
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.
