Common Questions and Answers about The fear of crowds phobia

fear

Avatar n tn 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. Nyctophobia is any fear of darkness and it does not have to be chronic. It is usually caused by a magnification of the brain's natural perception of what could happen in a dark environment.
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 Yes! I have had years of imagined illnesses. I was obsessed with HIV for years. The mind is more powerful than the body.
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 f tn I see thank you , i m just concern towards the fact that if there is a risk if someone touches the condom and then the penis itself the head part of the penis without the condom? I am uncircumcised.
722467 tn?1231360966 I'm not a doctor but when I think of a phobia, I think of a fear of something specific that keeps you from doing things ie, afraid of spiders? don't go down in the basement or reach into dark spots. afraid of crowds? generally don't go out in public. Anxiety may just happen without any apparent reason or it may be triggered by an event. Some people experience all kinds of physical symptoms with their anxiety. Nausea, light-headedness, sweating, palpitations.
Avatar m tn I have a phobia which is the fear of being trapped. It doesn't matter if the situation I'm trapped in poses no threat, is not unpleasant in any way, or even if it's a good thing that I can't escape from that given situation--just knowing the fact that I'm trapped and can't escape causes me panic and depression. In this case, I feel trapped by the air around me. I'm trapped in the sense that the air is all around me and no matter where I go, I cannot escape from it.
Avatar f tn Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
Avatar f tn How can I get over a phobia. I have a very weird phobia, i always have the fear of some bug or creature flying in my ear. I never wear my hair up outside and I try to have my hair down inside too if i can. Even when i am sleeping i hate to have my ears not covered. What should i do?
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 think I have a phobia of the dark but dont know how to classify it? Not sure if it's OCD related or other. My problem started really affecting my life maybe 2 years ago and has gotten progressively worse to the point I can't be in the dark alone at all, not even for a minute or I'lll become incredibly anxious. This is managable by turning the lights on, but my other problem is driving in the dark.
Avatar m tn I have to go to the dr every month for a medication so I have too take the reading at the office so now just the thought of a machine makes me nauseous, I finally went to the hospital and said I was having chest pain so they would keep me and do all the test necessarily to make sure I was okay ! STRESS TEST, ECHO HOLTER,EKG, BLOODWORK 2 DAYS OF TEST!
Avatar f tn hi just got my bp taken it was very high 200/104 when i got out of dr office it went back to normal. when i see the the cuff came over for me. im tired of this fear .
17213106 tn?1456525991 DGL is just a form of common licorice, with the part taken out responsible for most of the side effects commonly reported from licorice (mostly high blood pressure). Mastic gum is just a gum resin, like so many others used to thicken foods and chew on. But if I were feeling better without taking anything, I probably wouldn't take anything. But that's another issue. Finding h.
Avatar m tn My question is do all the gas bubbles remain together or to some of the bubbles ever travel to another part of the eye. It seems I have a black spot similar in size to the gas bubbles that moves around independently of the bubbles and can be seen to the left and considerly higher than the gas bubbles. I was wondering if this was something else or just part of the gas injection. I spoke to my retina surgeon on Saturday and he thought it was just some of the original gas injection.
105530 tn?1279585282 I am scared to death of spiders. I used to be afraid of thunderstorms but now I quite enjoy them. I also have a fear of heights, I can't even stand to look out of the windows of high-rise buildings.
Avatar f tn s even better, sit and relax taking in the sounds, and smell of the water. Sit in the sand and let the water flow over your feet and around you. Become familiar with it, and then venture into it little by little until you feel completely comfortable. Logic tells you that you will be fine, so it's important to face this fear and let it go. I love the ocean and all it has to offer, I'd hate to see you miss out on it. You can do this! Take care.
Avatar f tn when you have panic attacks you get dizzy, see sparks of light, shortness of breath and alot of other things. that is normal and for the black spots in your eyes........i have those too. they are called floaters. typically they appear when tiny pieces of the eye's gel-like vitreous break loose within the inner back portion of the eye. It is not dangerous, you can't die from them and they are very common thhough they are just flat out annoying!
424549 tn?1308515502 I have the same fear or phobia of spiders. I can go completly out of my mind at just the sight of one, be it small or ehhhhhhhh. I can't even talk about it. Anyway, I was told that I would have to let one walk up my arm and feel there leg's on my skin. RIGHT.. I think I'll carry this fear to my grave.
Avatar f tn once you’re sufficiently aroused, the uterus rises up, moving the cervix out of the way of a penis so it doesn’t get bumped. If you’re having penis-vagina sex (p-v) before you’re turned on, your cervix is vulnerable to bumping and irritation. You may also be experiencing tearing and abrasions if you’re not turned on. A pelvic exam can determine the extent of the tissue trauma, if there is any. If p-v hurts, you need to tell your partner to ease up and slow down.
Avatar f tn Oh. I read the title of the post. Maybe I saw the word phobia and then used it as essentially that was what the poster was implying. Sorry as nothing was intentionally posted to disagree. My eye sight is way too bad to use my phone for this. I have to enlarge and basically should probably wait until I am at my PC to be more 'PC'. Again just wanted to help the poster but didn't"t mean to step on toes.
Avatar f tn And your fear of it going through the flor and contaminating your bed. Not possible. You need to go ahead and realize that this is a serious issue if you are irrational and having a phobia. Do you see a psychologist? If not, please do. This is treatable. Exposure therapy is the best for this type of thing. ERP therapy is what it is called and it is the gold standard. Medication helps too. Are there other things you have irrational fear about?
Avatar f tn Hi I am a design student whom is looking at children’s fear of the dark my case study is my little cousin who is 6 years old, she is suffering from Nyctophobia which is a phobia related to being afraid of the dark, I wanted to know if anyone else knows someone with the same phobia or has suffered from it themselves and what they have done to help get over it? I want to know this from the child’s parents view or if an adult has suffered it themselves, from their view to.

2183887 tn?1338721728 I understand, although I don't fear crowded spaces, or the toilet. I am absolutely terrified of heights and bees. I cant stand being to high off the ground or i start to hyperventilate. And when there's a bee near, I either run away screaming or start to shake with fear. But what I do is try to convince myself that I'm not going to die, an I try to regulate my breathing. That's what I suggest to you. Better yet, you should go see your doctor, and see what they have to say.
Avatar f tn re old enough that that fear is no longer needed to keep you safe and is probably a hinderance, getting in the way of positive male relationships that you probably crave. you can move out of that stage of fear but you will need help to unravel and begin to understand where it came from. take care and best of luck. ps don't be discouraged if you don't like the first therapist you meet.
Avatar f tn m 33 yrs.old as I sit in my room and weigh the pros and cons of sending my daughter to daycare because her classmate was throwing up when I picked her up yesterday! Of course I was immediately feeling uneasy because of it and took meds last night to not throw up! I've talked to a therapist about it& it's done no good. This has been with me my ENTIRE Life! As a 6yr.old I sat outside my house for hours because a family member had a virus.
