I go out to eat every single week with my boyfriend. We live on opposite sides of our city so it makes sense to meet in the middle every week which happens to be in our central city. We usually eat...

Hi everyone,

Along with this phobia I have quite bad anxiety. I am a young high school teacher and I love what I do. However, as I don't have a full time teaching job, I work as a casual teacher...

It's definitely a thing and I know most people on this forum do the same thing that I do - and that is, think about it so much that it actually, genuinely makes you feel n*. I would put it down to...

Hi guys,

I travelled about an hour from Melbourne to Sydney a day ago. On my flight TO Melbourne last week I got this very wafty/dizzy feeling (almost like I was rocking on a boat sort of...

I'm glad to hear your baby is okay, what an ordeal that must have been for you and congratulations on not getting too anxious. I think the chances are slim as I'm sure you would have been doing...

Hey guys,

I've been thinking of texting my boss to say I can't come into work the next two days purely because it is causing me a lot of anxiety and worry on my mind. I feel terrible about lying...

Okay everyone thank you for you responses, they are very helpful. I'm still not sure if I will do it mainly because of financial budget and I don't really know where to start with finding a...

You should feel bad or selfish, any of us here would struggle with that situation! Although yes what she is going through is terrible and I feel a lot of compassion for her and hope the side effects...

I get that too and it's horrible. Usually it's just because we are thinking about it in the back of our mind I think and then start to feel it. Most likely just anxiety. It's best to not let it go on...

I think this happens to all of us from time to time. Sometimes it just feels like we are taking on so many tasks and it makes it easier for us to get anxious. I think a light stroll around the block...

I had all 4 wisdom teeth out last year and went under a light sedation. The blood was disgusting to me and filling my mouth with gauze didn't help. If you're taking meds as well that could be causing...

I cut coffee out completely! It makes me very jittery and anxious and is basically fuel for anxiety and this phobia. I have decaf sometimes but even still it doesn't agree with me all that much. Try...

Hi there!

First of all, you are not alone. Many of us on here suffer the exact same thing you just described. Anxiety and panic attacks are horrible and I suffer daily from these things too.
I...

Hi everyone,

I have never gone to see a therapist before and I have NO idea what to do or how it all works. I saw my doctor about a year ago saying that I need help and she recommended I start by...

This is pretty much me in a nutshell! I have always eaten carbs and gluten foods my whole life, I'm not 21 and in the past few months have noticed that n* feeling after eating pasta or toast or...

I'm a teacher (well at least in training) and I teach high school kids. It's definitely something I think about as you said, kids do v*. I would think the risk of v* on the bus is there, but it would...

Hey everyone,

I seem to feel pretty crap almost every single day regardless of if I'm anxious or not. I will be going about my day as normal and then I will start feeling n* and heavy and bloated...

Hey guys,

It's very overcast and drizzly here in Sydney, Australia and it is driving me INSANE. Waking up to rain
makes me very anxious and depressed. I love the sound of rain at night but...

I'd say about 8-10 years old

Hi everyone,
I went to the doctor today for blood test results. I was waiting in the waiting room and a young girl left from my doctors office and went to the bathroom. She came out and had v* and...

I think most of us would be able to empathize with you and many of us would have felt this way before.
Our lives can be really hard at time and incredibly stressful. I feel like everyone has...

Hi guys,

I really panic when people say this kind of thing. I go out a lot into public and do my best to eat out and use public bathrooms and when I hear things like that I find it so hard as you...

Hey guys,

I've been out lately like every night this week seeing friends and going out to dinner etc.
Today I am feeling so tired and not very hungry and overall quite anxious. I had a bit of...

I get this feeling quite often, I have it now. Woke up pretty happy, just read a book and had breakfast. Was feeling pretty tired though which started this feeling. It's probably my period. But my...

I know your exact thought process and I'm sure others on this site would agree with me. You're not alone. In saying that, it doesn't mean it's okay to torture yourself with these thoughts all the...
