fear

Avatar f tn You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives. Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age. Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them. Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!
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 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?
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 a therapist that has training in anxiety disorders, exposure based treatments. For example, expose yourself to the stuff you fear and soon the fear becomes less. Expose yourself to the things that make you want to run and don't run and you'll train your brain that you'll be okay. It's not easy. It's awful. It sounds like you have health anxiety and some features of OCD, GAD, Social anxiety. Anxiety disorders in general clump together. But you can do this.
1183666 tn?1274275146 So, JESSiCA, we meet again! I'm glad to hear you're involved with a partner and a project, but I do understand your fear of public speaking. I'm positive the vast majority of us would rather streak through Wal Mart than get up in front of a group of people. (Would anybody notice us in Wal Mart? Somehow I think we'd just "blend!") I suppose there are a number of things you could try before it was your turn to be on stage.
Avatar n tn I started taking concerta 8 months ago and it has made ia great change in the fear I USED to have speaking in front of people . I till stutter but not near as often when speaking in front of adults .
Avatar f tn What is the best way to overcome anxiety that is rooted in the fear of disease
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 f tn A fear of food is not entirely the same, but it might stem from some of the same issues, and if so, possibly changing one small thing every now and then to make you feel like your world is a little more in your control will help. (For example, it's going to sound kind of dumb, but when I figured out a different way to capture the bills and pay them, and was able to stick with it for a few months so I knew it was a really durable method, I felt really cheered up. Stuff like that.
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 n tn I had not forced her to speak after realising her problem and also explained to the teacher and assured her she will overcome the problem. Recently the school had their school day and she was included in a program to sing a welcome song. To the teachers surprise she started singing the song and she encouraged the child by drawing her stars on her hand. Last saturday was her program and she actually sang in front of a large crowd quite confidently.
7163794 tn?1457366813 Glad it went well, I have told my story a few times, very scary I do behind the walls at a work relies program, I have a big fear of speaking in meetings, last time I was asked to do it I said yes, chickened out and scheduled my neck surgery a week before to get out of it, I have 13 years, thank you for being strong and sharing that, it inspired me.
Avatar f tn if this continues it will lead to depression and this is worrying about the past. Maybe buy the Audiobook of Eckhart Tolles the Power of Now. listen to it with her and practice the teachings, this will pass and she will have a beautiful life ahead of her.
Avatar m tn The feelings of worthlessness, mood-swings, behaverial problems, the ups and downs that years of abuse,the effects that of nearly a decade of incarceration has programed into me are insurmountable by my efforts alone. Talk too someone about alternative medicines. I have seen countless speakers say how happy life is now that their clean, yet rarely with a smile. The twelth step is the hardest on to achieve.
Avatar f tn Though the US has continued to make big gains in productivity over the last decade, nearly all of the benefit of those gains has gone to the wealthy, not the workers. American CEOs earned 411 times as much as average workers in 2005, up from 107 times in 1990. In the economic expansion of 2002-2006, the top 1% captured nearly three quarters of income growth. http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/saez-USto pincomes-2006prel.
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 Then he put on a condom, before he could get the head of his penis good inside of me i asked him to stop. The next day i asked my did he have anything and he got very offended. He stoppd speaking tp me.. 3 weeks later i got tested for STD and everything came back clear, On April 15,2010 I went to my doctors and got HIV tested, becasue o was always nasuse,tired, and forgetfull. Nothing came back, now i have lower abdominal pains and jus now ive been having what i think are night seats.
Avatar f tn Well tomarows a big day, I decided that Im feeling well enough to drop from 3mgs to 2 mgs, I had some doubts last week, as I did have some days when I felt beaten & weak, but I cant explain what happened but after 8 days of feeling like a walking zombie, I snapped out of it, maybe its my vitamins or maybe my body got adjusted to the lower dose? Whatever happened it feels good to feel normal.
277836 tn?1359666174 well i think what lizzie said does happen sometimes, but since this is an open forum without rules of who can reply to any message the matter is a mute point, if the powers to be want to appoint people that can only respond like on aidsmeds than that would be okay but like i said since this is an open forum . people will tend to feed off of each other fears whether they reply or not, this is only my opinion and doesnt really amount to anything.
Avatar m tn Peace Greenlydia Exposure therapy for anxiety Anxiety isn’t a pleasant sensation, so it’s only natural to avoid it if you can. One of the ways that people do this is by steering clear of the situations that make them anxious. If you have a fear of heights, you might drive three hours out of your way to avoid crossing a tall bridge. Or if the prospect of public speaking leaves your stomach in knots, you might skip your best friend’s wedding in order to avoid giving a toast.
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.
148588 tn?1465778809 ve commissioned congregations, removed priests, decapitated the Order of Malta and the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, you've ignored cardinals ... but where's your mercy?" The posters took issue with Francis' recent actions which affected conservative Catholic groups. Police launched an investigation using closed-circuit cameras into the conservative circles believed responsible, the ANSA news agency said.
Avatar f tn many people have a fear of public speaking. And remember anxiety and panic can come at the most inoppertune times even if we have previously been through the exact same experience panic free time after time. I also agree that you should not expect perfection and not be too hard on yourself. Just the fact that you get up there is something that you should give yourself credit for; that is no easy feat to accomplish in my opinion. Do you have other social situations that you get anxious in?
