There is a great technique called e.f.t. It stands for Emotional Freedom Therapy (either Therapy or Technique, I can't remember which). The website is www.emofree.com

Stay away from pastors & well meaning friends who tell you to get over it. They are true phobias, each with it own name. A good psychistrist can diagnoise & medicate these problems - it may need help from phychologist. Good luck. My spiders, people esp. crowds, & water are managable. Go Wolfpack- I'm back at games & sailed all weekend.

Oh jeez, I can relate to this question.\n\nIf this happens in crowds of people, as soon as you start becoming sweaty- take a 'breather' very quickly away from others, find a place to sit down & just foucs on breathing.  Listen to your heartbeat & concentrate on calming images.  I try to think of my gardens or other people's yards that I've seen.\n\nI used to get so worked up that I would have to leave our groccery store & send my then-BF (now Hubby) back into the Store to find my basket!\n\nI have never used drugs...did my own Bio-Feedback basically by telling myself that I COULD do this and there was NOTHING to Fear.   Lots of prayer, meditation, some Homeopathic meds & Herbal Supplements and time have helped me a great deal.\n\np.s.  I'm 39 now (started when I was 19) and even though I've more or less conquered them, still have episodes where I need to sit down and just concentrate...Hope this Helps you!  GOOD LUCK!!

you need to see a dr. they will give you relief! until then try a stiff drink, a heating pad, and kick EVERYONE out of your room! it works for me!

Dear frnd, u need some relaxation for that u need to do is practise yoga or meditation. U r also undergoing fobia for unwanted reasons u take tensions n make the issues bigger.  The only solution is listen good music, do something which u r interested in the most, go out with frienz, practise yoga n take good diet.  These all will help u to keep ur body and mind constant and be happy.  After doing all these if u still feel disturbed better to consult a good psychiatrist.

Don't break up, just say you need some breathing room and your feeling mentally claustrophobic, Agree not to see other people because that will send the wrong message, but just maybe for a week, limit calls to once a day, and spend more time doing what you want to do. I guarantee when your mini-break is over, your relationship will feel like new

There are so many things that you can do. \nI am having problems with my panic attacks. \nIt got to the point that I would not leave my room only to go to the bathroom and that was even hard. The thing that might help is to go see a Psycoligist or Phycirist. (TOTAlLY MISS SPELLED)\ni have come a long way in just 4 weeks. I am going to wal-mart and eating at small resturants. \nThey seem like they happen at any time. But actually it isn't keep a jounal of you panic attacks and show it to them or you can email me and i might beable to help you. Other things that you can do is learn to breath through them. Breath through you nose and out through the mouth breaht from your stomach. First inhale through your nose fill your stomach hold for 4 seconds exhale slowly then do it again. it will help because when you are having a panic attach the reason you feel dizzy is because the CO2 is stuck and can't get out. REMEBER they are harmless. You may feel like you are going to pass out but very very very few people do email me. eblaziermk@yahoo.com i can't wait to hear from you

You have a compulsive obsessive disorder. Don't let it carry you away my friend, it can and will control you just like an obsessive boyfriend.\n   See a doctor first. Then lets get down to facts. If you've cleaned the mold out from between the bathroom cracks, cleaned the floors with a detergent and the toilet seats, the stool, in and around everything, you'll get almost 100% of anything that can harm you. The same in the kitchen. Don't leave scrap food around, your garbage has to go out at night, etc.\n   Clean up your dirty clothes, wash them, etc. normal household cleaning will do most of it including vacuuming.\n   Don't get too carried away and become obsessive. Don't drive people away. Remember, see the doctor, tell him your desires. In the lab we use a 10% solution of bleach for bacterial control, let it air dry but, this isn't all that necessary in the home.

It's everywhere. There's almost no avoiding it. Just refuse to engage in that type of conversation and stick to your job. Don't become a recluse by any means, just avoid joining in their gossip. Listen if you have to but avoid commenting. Also hold your tongue when you feel like telling them they're all a bunch of adolescent idiots.

You haven't specified what your real problem is.  Have you lost interest in your topic?  Have you hit a snag in your research?  Are you just procrastinating?\n\nIf you're having a specific difficulty, post another question.  I'll look for it.\n\nIf it's lack of support you're suffering from, try the website called Phinished.  Here's their statement:\n\nThis discussion and support group is for you if: \n\nYou are sick to death of people asking you "How is your dissertation [or thesis] coming?" (but you really would like to talk about your troubles in finishing -- with anybody except those who keep asking, no matter how genuinely concerned they may be, or may seem to be). \n\nYou have vague fears about finishing, but don't feel you have a safe outlet for discussing whatever it is you seem to be afraid of. \n\nYou're having organizational problems or blocks. \n\nYou are not getting the kind of support you need -- from your university, your employer, your family members or friends. Maybe you don't even know what kind of support you need, just that you don't have it! \n\nFace-to-face support groups offered by your university don't suit you, for whatever reason \n\nYou've been in this stagnant state of incompletion, and want to help those still plugging, or flailing.

I know exactly how you feel.  Hang out with everyone - I can't stand clicks of people.  Be smart and don't discriminate.

if you have anyone, i mean anyone you are comfortable with-that person is the answer. a best friend or a cousin or anyone is key. if you find someone you know you can talk to(i know thats not what you wanna hear but keep reading), they can probably help a lot. i'm not sure how old you are but if you're 15 or younger your doctor would probably tell you to open up. find something you like. even if you are older its proven that if you can find someone else who enjoys doing the same thing it could help a lot. something else that would help would be to find someone younger than you. even if its just a 6 year old. they will look up to you. you don't have to worry about embarassing yourself. and also- - -theres no way to avoid feeling weird around your boyfriends family. thats just how it is. but my last bf's parents said they really enjoyed my company because i was quiet. they said it was respectful. try that. just be extra polite. (oh yeah, and don't get caught making out in the closet! hehe)
