I can relate with you about having a relative with hypochondria that becomes a fear and a role model for what you want to avoid. So perhaps telling you my own reasoning about the possible origin can help you as well. The fact that you brought that aunt up shows how much of an impact she had on...

I quit my job yesterday and I don't want to do the three weeks before resignation I am supposed to give. I just wasted a beautiful Saturday I could have used to get new jobs in nothing

Hi. I have always seen vehicles as a tools that can potentially harm others. They are unatural metal boxes going in high speeds that everyone elwe sees like normal part of human lifes. I don't know if it was movies what started it but I know it was my dad who cenented that idea verbally onto me...

Dude, not sure if this can be of help, but my advice is to confront the part that is looping in your head. I get songs stuck in my head and usually I can't shake them out until I realise why it's clinging to me even when I don't want them to, it could be the lyrics resinated with me or that it...

New people. I think it makes sense. It is easier to get body language clues with one person but it is hard to read the mood with a bunch of strangers. You don't know yet what they like or what they don't so thst can be a bit intimidating if you're not used to bigger groups. Don't be hard on...

It is that we tend to cling to bad experiences so much it negates all the good ones. For the few times we had someone comment we had plenty of uneventful ones but we only keep thinking on the rare occassions and still convince ourselves it is way more common than it really is. So it mught help...

That's really cool you have been able to feel more in control to know t let them becone full blown panic attacks. Thank you for the tips too, hopefully this will help guide people with attacks in the right direction. Don't ever minimise that effort and where it has brought you. You definitely...

Hi, Laura. Don't beat yourself up for being scared. It was a big thing and it is still fresh. Your mind is releasing the place add the cause rather than what went down during those times. I think that it would be a good idea to write down the good and the bad side by side. Acknowledge...

What is done is done. You gotta focus on the right now. You said you have been visiting the optometrist regularly and that your eyesight right now is fine. I pretty much agree with @Rinka and encourage you to take those words on board. It is an urban myth. Just take care of your eyes, protect...

Hi, HypochondriaQueen. Sorry you are going through this. The thing with anxiety is that it manifests differently to different people. Although you don't display other symptoms commonly associated with anxiety, from what you have been saying, you have pinpointed your nausea to be related to it...

Anxiety works differently for everyone and so the different methods we have to cope with it. I agree it is good to see the positive but I don't want to give the credit to the anxiety. I think the credit goes to each of you and what you have taught yourselves to make the best coping with it. As...

Glad it could be of help, butterly30. The kindness in people's responses really makes a difference. I understand, it takes a lot to restrain ourselves you just want some reassurance when googling that things are alright but instead we find the most obscure illness. I really like that you calmy...

That's the spirit, Sophie. Don't dwell in shoulda, coulda, woulda. Those are what-ifs. These are rules we inflict on ourselves about how reality works when what we're doing is not accepting it. It is normal we want to be able to feel a tangent progress or for things to go faster, but the fact...

Thanks, man. Yeah, it definitely doesn't sound like Petechiae to me. Keep the good meals coming. Take it easy. Let us know how it goes. :)

I went to a conservation park today with a friend. Figured if I wasn't going to be able to leave the city before my days off ended I could at least try find something quiet and away from the city noise. I think it definitely helps me with anxiety and I want to do this more often but I also...

Honestly, I don't really take anything. I tend to just wait for it to pass but that's probably because I rarely get nausea to go really bad. I tend to go for greek yoghurt to calm my stomach burns, but I am not sure where I got that idea and if that actually has any effect to calm (or maybe...

I don't think you are being totally silly there. Germs in stuffed toys is something I recall my mother having concerns about. The best you can do is probably clean the toy before you put it on your bed just to ease your mind. Extreme temperatures kill germs so you could go either way. Reading...

Do you get itchy in the area with the dots? Do you get them anywhere else besides your palms? Do they disappear and reappear or have them been staying there for a while? Knowing a bit more about them can make it easier for other members to tell you if they have had them. I know stress can cause...

Hahaha. That is a bit overwhelming, but pretty interesting and quite intriguing. I guess you just need to ask for a supplement of "aminoacids + Vitamin B" and see what they offer you. Some brands got them in one bottle but you might need to buy them separately. The other thing was Magnesium...

Yeah, I meant it could just been because you were worrying. If they came out of nowhere they will probably go soon. I don't think they are anything to worry about. Don't feel bad. I understand. Glad those all were just scares and you were fine. So let's think positive! :D
