I don't think you can fight off anxiety by yourself especially by the symptoms that you mentioned. I had those symptoms several times before I finally decided in going to a doctor. With the prescribed medication, I felt better and my confidence came back. But I only take the medication when the...

I am far from doing this thing of hurting myself but I used to have a friend who was like that. He was actually my classmate in college. When he fails an exam, I would notice some bruises on his arms or maybe a black eye. He had done that to himself because he said that his dead father will not...

I don't subscribe to supertitions but I admit that I sometimes feel a little scared when I see a black cat crossing my way at night. But when it is morning, no issue there. We have lots of myth and folklore here about nocturnal spirits and characters that can really make the night scary that's...

When I was younger, I used to have a hectic weekend most of the time. But now I have noticed that my weekend is always reserved at home and I turn down most of the social invitations. My wife even told me that I sometimes need to go out with friends but I seldom do for fear of spending too...

I am a kind and generous person but I wouldn't risk my well-being in favor of a stranger. Even in public places, I am always hesitant in lending help to people I do not really know. Much more if a stranger would knock on our door or gate seeking for my help. I would always play safe. However if...

I have received several invitations for the Christmas party of different groups in the local movie industry. If you still do not know, I was unceremoniously removed from my position in our organization (due to jealousy). My wife is asking me if I would attend any of those invites and I hastily...

In the recent months until now, there are so many posts in Facebook about local politics. It is my habit to ignore such posts because I know that politics is not a good issue for it tends to elicit arguments and debates. The other weekend during the reunion of my former colleagues, politics was...

I am a cool guy when it comes to temper. In fact, they call me Mr. Cool in the office because they have seen me work for 10 years and there never was an incident of temper flare up. However, I have noticed that when i am in a crowd and was feeling timid or shy, I tend to develop a temper. It's...

Pardon me if this is not directly related. I just want to know your opinion about an acquaintance named Tintin. She is around 30 years old, married and with one child, a toddler. She speaks in a normal. But I have noticed that when her mother is present, her diction changes to that of a little...

I have done that mirror talk when I was in grade school. It was one afternoon when I had nothing to do and the mirror in my parent's bedroom caught my fancy. After making some faces, I talked to myself but nothing happened. But if I would do that at night, I'm sure something creepy will happen...

Pardon me if this comment is not directly related to this thread although it is similar. I have noticed myself to repeat an activity maybe as an outlet of frustration. Last night I was searching for a document in the cabinet and I seem not to find it. After an hour, I go back to the cabinet and...

When we moved in this house in 2001, our neighbor at the back seemed to be quarrelsome. I would hear him say threats about me for our noise. But mind you, we are not really noisy, we were just having our house repaired. And then it came to a point that the neighbor confronted me. Out of my fear...

Death is a scary topic for me because understandably we all die sooner or later. When there is news of death, I usually become depressed even for a short while. It is like reminding me of the end and it is a grim thought. As much as possible, I get focused on something else to shed off that...

When I consider a person as my friend, I stay loyal to him unless there is an incident for me to change heart. I have so many friends starting with my grade school classmates. It is surprising for me to receive friend requests from them in Facebook. And that is because I have been a good...

Cory Aquino turned to painting when she had finished her term as president of our country. Since she is a celebrity, her paintings were valued at a high price although she didn't sell her artworks. She said that painting is a good hobby that relaxes her. Aquino even advised in one of her...

I used to be diligent when it comes to deadlines because I want to avoid pressures. But when I had this anxiety, I became more of a procrastinator than an action man. Last week our air conditioner stopped working and until now I still have to call the repair man. Simple things like that is a...

I cannot say that I believe in premonition but most of the time, I imagine that something will culminate on something. Let's say I am driving in a road and the traffic is heavy. My mind would wonder that I would be hit by a motorcycle or a bicycle. I know it is not right to think of negative...

To be honest, I don't know much about Boracay in spite of it being the most popular beach resort in our country. With the off season, it is during the rainy season from June to September although the vacancy cannot be promised because even when there is a storm, the probability of a crowd is...

You are right that they are not abusive all the time. I really cannot explain it but I am not alone in that opinion that there are times some of my friends abuse my generosity. Aside from borrowing money, they come to our home to have free lunch. We are a hospitable family so we never fail to...

When I was in school, was focused on my religion and I had wanted to be a priest. But when I started working, my religiosity faded. It may be a coincidence but during that time, anxiety had started to haunt me. It is fortunate that in my ripe age now, I had learned to get back to my religion and...
