Honestly, I am afraid of getting eyesight issues too. It's difficult to imagine ...not being able to see the world. It's a common fear and is present in everyone. Only some people express that where as others try to hide it. I am a software engineer and I have to sit in front of a computer for...

Well, when you believe that something is wrong with your body, then you should get a thorough check up. If something is found, you could always treat it, at an early stage. If nothing is found, 'you have to accept it in your mind'. It's hard to tell our mind, when it comes to things like these...

When I was a kid, I hated darkness. I was afraid of supernatural elements. It was my mind playing games with me of course but those ideas were horrible. When you came to know of something horrible, your mind will keep on pointing out the worst case scenario. During those times, it better to...

Well, no one is perfect. Everyone have their own set of faults but the point is....we try to make ourselves better by learning from our mistakes. Of course it's not at all easy when our anxiety is coming into play, when we try to move forwards but...we shouldn't give up. I feel inferior to...

I have heard of Hypersensitiveness before but I don't think that is the reason why I have been suffering. I am not disgusted by my body function....completely. I can withstand many things and I can tolerate others stuff, to some extent. It's really hard to believe but Tactile sensitivity is...

Hello Geomorph. Welcome to the community. Most of the people here know exactly what you are going through. I don't know when it started for me but I have been trying to hide myself from others and no one can truly understand that. They believe that, I could change with some prayers and all but...

I am really sorry to hear about your state. I don't get dizzy spells often but I do know how they can make you powerless. It's hard to do anything when our body doesn't support us. Taking medication for a long time, wouldn't help in dizziness but in this case, we can't consider that. Try not...

Honestly, I blame no one now. I used to blame one of my family members and they are responsible for me developing the anxiety but now they have changed. I can't keep on blaming them now and I really don't want them to revert back. I have to forgive them for not at all supporting me and to ignore...

Welcome Mercedes! It's really good to see your positive attitude. If you try hard enough ...slowly and eventually, you will be able to do it. I am rooting for you. Just don't give up and this might take long but as long as you keep on trying, you will be able to do it. Do tell us, your...

Honestly, I never thought anxiety have a positive side until now. Guess it does have a positive side to it. I try to keep things in order and I rarely do mistakes at work. OCD combined with anxiety wouldn't let you to forget anything. Even some of my colleagues want me to check their work...

Many people who suffer from anxiety and OCD try to hide them from others and even from their own family. I did that too for almost 22 years of my life. Last year though, I had to go through many things and my family found out about my stuff and they were really surprised and disappointed. I...

I do fear that I will go crazy at some point. I mean the things that I fear and feel are not 'normal' and people around me, wanted me to change so that I can be 'normal'. I tried so hard but I really couldn't change myself. Not even a little and when they keep saying things to hurt me...change...

I can't breathe sometimes and ..........sometimes I feel like I am about to faint. Well, I can't stand others touch at all and if I couldn't get to sanitize my hands soon, I would be in deep trouble. Even two days back, I had to give handshake to a business person, because of my work and I had...

I have OCD and I accepted it. I can't even use the washrooms properly without toching the handle with a papertowel. I always use seatcovers....that's how extreme it is. I totally understand the fear of germs too but for others it might look silly but honestly, it's not that silly. Anyway, I...

Believe me no one actually understands people with OCD or anxiety completely unless they go through the same. That's what I believe. For them, it's easy to overcome and they believe that we are not trying enough or simply acting like that. They always seem casual about it. I am truly sad that I...

You won't be suffering from anything extreme like food poisoning. I get why you are worried too and the hot temperature is a real issue too. Well, it's good that you have interacted with your mom a bit too, even though it didn't end well. It's not your fault at all and you shouldn't feel guilty...

Hi Reezy. Welcome to Anxiety forums. It's truly a pleasure to meet you. You are right about interacting with people for coping with the anxiety. It helps a lot. It can't do wonders but it would help you a lot in the long run. Anxiety is not easy for others to understand and I gave up on making...

Honestly I can't stand gatherings at all. You have to greet everyone and you have to at least 'act' like you are having a great time. It can be truly exhausting for people who have anxiety. Usually I do use my phone during those events. I know that it's rude but I don't know what else to do. I...

Meditation helps the brain relax. As far as I know, it even increases the concentration and in the long run, you will be able to get some peace. I know that it's hard to concentrate and all, so, just focus on the breathing and don't think of anything else and do meditation in a very quite place...

Bullying is hard to take. I was a victim too but my situation wasn't bad. More like, they said nasty comments about me and I didn't get the information of courses and such. So, I don't exactly call that my worse phase, but I wanted to escape from that phase as soon as possible. This was all...
