Avatar f tn Thank you for you reply’s, I am also hoping that she grows out of her fear. I am design student currently doing a project based on this issue; I have taken my little cousins fear and would like to create a product which will help children like my cousin throughout their fear. Could you recommend possible design solutions for such a case? (What would be a cool gadget for a child to have at bed time?
Avatar f tn What i mostly think about is disapearing from this world forever, being swallowed by infanite darkness, and being so easily forgotten by this ever-moving world. The fear of no longer existing haunts me in nights depriving me of sleep and giving me only uncontrollable shuddering in the darkness.Is there anyway to escape this fear? is there a way i can have my restful nights back?
Avatar n tn Good or evening or day or night or afternoon Torin and hello. Great name, by the way. My name is Hamed Khatiz and I am a student, drummer, writer, band manager and many more from Sydney, NSW. 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.
470658 tn?1210868219 If you dug down far enough, you probably would find that there is some trigger event -or set of circumstances, which contributed to selecting for spiders and darkness as tokens for something else that really gives you the creeps. But you would only want to dig back that far if these issues are really, really getting in the way of living a reasonably happy life. But, meanwhile, maybe you would like to "try this at home," as the saying goes.
Avatar f tn ^^^exactly the same here. I have a string of half way lit Christmas lights that only light up my bed area on at all times. Its really hard to get my son attached in the dark (breastfeeding) so the light is for me. I know it may make it to where my son needs a night light for a while but I don't think so. Since the light is so soft when he is in his crib its still pretty dark. But no the baby doesn't need a night light. They've been surrounded in nothing but darkness for 10 months.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the comment, but I've thought of everything. I try very hard to keep his day to day fairly consistent, the only recent changes I can think of are - transitioning into a new class at daycare, but most of his friends were already in the class; and my brother moving back in with my parents who my son stays with on weekends.
Avatar m tn m a 32 year old male and have been married for 11 years latelyi have been afraid to be intimate with my wife or even masturbate because when I do unnatural thought of my son come into my thoughts causing me to panic i love my children very much and would never do anything to harm them what can I do to stop this ?
Avatar f tn I wake up if the room is in complete darkness with a racing heart that feels like its beating out of my chest, I feel as though I cannot breath until I see some sort of light, I open the blinds or turn on the light then gasp for breath. It's a very terrifying feeling. It feels like forever until I find the light switch and end up banging into things. What is causing this?
Avatar m tn My daughter is 6. About two months ago she started crying hysterically and saying she was upset because she felt bad about........(she was bringing up the silliest things ) not calling so and so over for red rover, or being mean to a girl by saying she's annoying, saying a bad word in her mind. She's goes to a Catholic school, we've talked about praying for forgiveness.
Avatar m tn mostly are young females, but whenever I think of word hyperventilation or whenever I feel anxious, suddenly it comes to my mind. I ask one cardiologist whether, hyperventialation can cause coronary artery spasm. He replied me No hyperventilation does not cause coronary artery spasm or variant angina. but still it is not going from my mind & obsessing. I became obsessed with the word hyperventiation & when ever i feel little anxious, i am thinking coronary artery spasm will come.
Avatar n tn Would gentle massage at night help or warm compresses or another compress? Any advice would be very welcome. I am 56 years old. The surgery was performed by laser on the inside of the lower eyelids.
1551327 tn?1514045867 i used to be on here alot about a year ago and the depression got the best of me and I just got out of treatment about a month ago. I spent ninety days there and I still wasn't really stable when I got out but I am alot better at coping with it.

2080404 tn?1643113754 Pavlov ©21 August 2011 - 1:51am — Raina_Deathstar Something's wrong with me, feel it deep down in my blood, can feel it in each tortured scream. What is wrong with me, why do I need the chaos to function, I seem to live my life on my knees. The slightest touch of tenderness, my guard is up, I'd give anything to ignore that feeling. Dancing on fire and brimstone, addicted to the pain and misery, pathetic slave to the devil's bed.
Avatar f tn I mean, if you want you can keep buying tests. Honestly though you would just be wasting money. The best tests on the market are First Response and Clear Blue. Your doctors should be able to do this test though, as it's not just for piece of mind. It's vital in telling what your hCG levels do as it tells if a pregnancy is viable or not.
Avatar n tn Do you think a 12 year old boy being afraid of the dark is just that afraid of the darkness or could it be caused by underlying emotional and/or mental stress? It really is starting to worry me, if it is a sign of something more I do not want to over look it, but I also don't want to be reading too much into something that is perfectly normal.
Avatar n tn t let the fear get the better of you. Try to divert yourself, read a book. You should not keep thinking about sleeplessness, as this in turn promotes insomnia and it becomes a vicious cycle. There is a circadian rhythm for all living organisms. It is a 24 hour cycle rhythm and the biological clock within that individual adapts to this rhythm.
Avatar m tn Hi all I'm currently struggling with some unwanted, intrusive thoughts. They are morbid, violent, abhorrent thoughts (not urges) that will creep into my mind from time to time. They happen in crowded settings, empty hall ways, and even worse around corners or tight corridors. They can also happen when I'm doing nothing and sitting at my desk.

Avatar f tn When I see things that remind me of them or hear songs etc. I just had a breakdown last night for about 2 hours straight I was hyperventilating and I couldn't stop crying. Thank god for my boyfriend who tries to make me feel better. But I do not go to therapy. I'm not on any kind of medication. Sometimes my breakdowns get so bad that my boyfriend wants to call my parents because I can get suicidal. The attacks come out of nowhere.
Avatar n tn Hello ladies, this is more of a public service announcement than it is a question. Since about week 20 I have had a coming and going "rolling" pain in my right hand side flank area. I discussed with my Dr once and she said that because the pain wasn't continuous or severe it could be a number of things including round ligament pains. The pain would come and go and I would lay on my left side and it would get better.
739070 tn?1338603402 A s I cleaned out my filing cabinet, (boring) I was listening to the radio, which was playing an "80's" themed weekend. I heard this song and I realized it summed up my feelings, exactly. Yes, it is a love song but I could still fall in love with a drug that worked on my symptoms without side effects. I'm tired of being tired or having drug side effects or taking something that could make me crash my car. It was Julie's idea to make it the forum song.
Avatar n tn I have read that the side-effects of this drug are commonly nausea and vomiting and as someone who has a morbid fear of vomiting, I am really reluctant to take it. Is it worth hanging on for another few days and seeing if it clears naturally?
Avatar n tn He also is very sensitive to loud abrupt noises like baloons popping (he can blow a whistle for hours), or fireworks. When he was two, at a minor league baseball game, they had a fireworks display, and he was terrified, so I held my hands over his ears the whole time, but he still cried and clearly didn't like it. My wife thinks this is why he covers his ears to this day. Any validity to that?
