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 m tn I'm completely the same way, just not with horror movies. I can't stop thinking about my girlfriend. She's only 17 and I took her virginity, which scares me because I know she'll eventually want something else (nobody wants to just have sex with one person ever). All the time I spend with her now is consumed in a pervasive fear that I won't be able to keep her forever, which is ruining every potentially good experience I might have with her now, while I do actually have her.

20907989 tn?1619515060 Isolation, fear of the virus itself, being at home more with any dysfunction that is in the home, virtual school which is hard to stay on top of or be motivated for, loss of activities that they enjoyed. The pandemic has been truly awful for us all and has hurt our youth terribly. Any type of difference from other kids such as a neuro difference? Then targeted for bullying and lack of peers to call friends. social media adds to it. It's complex. Agree that genetics play a role as well.
Avatar m tn the man who got us into war and the man who got us out of it; the man who destroyed the economy and the man who restored it; the man who alienated the world and the man who makes friends of enemies, including Cuba. But ultimately Obama must be judged for who he is and not for who he is not, and according to those standards, he is a great man indeed. He is, I will assert here and without any hesitation, if not the greatest American president ever, the greatest president of modern times.
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.
696149 tn?1314320959 Well, I spoke of it a few days ago......that is getting off the Vicodin and I just took the last 4 I had. I am terrified of what I'm probably going to face. Usually when you fear something, the bark is worse than it's bite, but in this case, the bark is just as bad as the bite, if not worse. Still, all I have to do is get through 1 week.
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.
1216899 tn?1288570325 t go exactly blurry, but more of a yellow haze. It almost feels like I have sweat in my eye, that I cannot get out. Also, it just doesn't feel right, like something is off, I cannot put my finger on it.
Avatar f tn My one true saving grace is speaking to the older generations of women and knowing all the stuff they ate ( that we arent supposed too) and the stuff they did and how prenatal vitamins werent a thing and how their babies turned out just fine. Im a firm believer that Dr Google this day in age is the worst thing ever we all go there to do research or whatever and it only puts more fear in our minds instead of helping us!
Avatar m tn HIV is neither "dead" nor "alive". It is either active (when it is INSIDE the body), or INACTIVE (when it is outside of the body, exposed to the elements). Sexually speaking, only unprotected anal or vaginal sex is a risk for HIV. Exposure to genital secretions in any situation NOT during the above mentioned insertive sex without a condom is NOT a risk for HIV. That includes oral sex, mutual mastrubation, frottage (rubbing), etc. You have nothing to worry about.

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 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.
5536886 tn?1455827346 rule to wait to tell others about your pregnancy until after the first trimester- mostly due to a fear of miscarriage, but there are some who are speaking out about what they feel are harms of waiting. They are concerned that waiting to share the news may make women afraid to discuss a miscarriage- if it does happen. Being able to talk about it, can be a healthy part of the grieving process. Did you wait to share your news or did you go ahead and tell others?
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 .
595125 tn?1219834270 What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.
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?
2080183 tn?1362802073 I know it can sometimes be scary when something is wrong with your body, and you fear the diagnoses, but i think a visit to the doctors would be a good thing to do right now. You need to, so they can do further testing to figure out whats wrong! Im sorry your scared about this!!! I wish you the best of luck!!!!!
Avatar m tn unprotected vaginal / anal penetration?
Avatar f tn This is a shock-like feeling down the spine into the legs upon forward flexion of the neck. Trigeminal neuralgia which occurs on the face, is extremely painful. Optic neuritis can feel like a dagger cutting into one's eyeball (I can attest to that). With the exception of marijuana, the kinds of drugs used to treat neuropathic pain do not cause a high. These drugs are anti-seizure meds and tricyclic antidepressants. The aren't addictive in the sense that narcotics are.
Avatar f tn Push the risks out of your head. If your pregnancy has been low risk, don't stress yourself over outcomes that aren't likely. Remember that modern medicine is highly effective at minimizing risks and being prepared for any spontaneous ones.Don't ask what could go wrong or go looking to find out because then you're definitely going to cause unnecessary stress to yourself and baby. As for the pain, there are many management options.
Avatar f tn My therapist understands this question, but may not have enough clinical training in this area. She was the one to suggest that he had a fear of being swallowed up by me, thus he preferred digital penetration. But when I try to probe deeper into the issue, she becomes defensive. I just had an idea. I recently started seeing a psychiatrist for medication, and she might or might not have some input into this issue. I am going to figure this out eventually.
Avatar f tn He is the one ruining your family, he decided to this the moment he harbored those perverted thoughts. You are PROTECTING your family by speaking up. The longer you wait, the more the fear will soak in until you begin feeling like its too late. I KNOW THIS! Please keep us updated!
