Becki asked: I get really really woried about the smallest things, I always have to a certain degree but its getting worse. For example if i argue with someone, I have actually been physically sick afterwards and I get goosebumps and shake violently, i cant calm down or concentrate or sleep until i see them and resolve it. Today my friend told me he is angry i called him late last night and is not replying or answering my calls, he may be just at work?, but i am suffering the same symptoms and checking my phone and emails every 5 mins. my ex said that it is insecurity and people thought i was being clingy. but its different. i just cannot stand having isues with people :/

J asked: Everywhere I go I just feel self-conscious and my head really hurts, and I’m just plain uncomfortable. But people say I’m not awkward because then I’d be like *start doing a hunchback of notre dame impression*. Ok so, even if I am normal and not awkward, I still feel it – I feel so horrid I just want to kill myself. It has caused (since being a teenager and I’m currently 17) so much psychological pain it’s unbelievable and I have a burning hatred for myself.
Well, anyway, I know how I act – quiet. I’m just quiet and make no friends due to that. No one notices me at college despite working in a band as the drummer. I also blew every mind in the college when I performed by playing with my teeth in the theatre, but that just goes to show that people only notice my musical talent.
I’m sweet, polite and humble – in other words, a sad loner. This causes suicidal tendencies. I wish I was ordinary. That way, I will have a chance at having a girlfriend, and one day a wife and kids.
Even if I am normal, I still feel terrible everywhere I go. Can I cure this mental awkwardness that no one else has? Or am I just, like some people (e.g. Michael Jackson, Gandhi, Bin Laden……..), a sleepy, quiet and introverted sweetheart, as opposed to your ordinary fun-loving manly hunk you are willing to lose your virginity to?
QUESTION: What is it and can it be cured?

Paully asked:
The anxiety leads to a sort of panic attack. Some of my worst symptoms include: tightness in chest and abdomen, sweating, irregular heartbeat- dizzyness, tingling and numbness in limbs- hyperventalation/shortness of breath. This has unfortunately gotten so bad its seriously affected my life. I have found no cure for it yet. I cant go out and be social without having these constant attacks- they get so bad that i feel i might die or pass out. When i feel one coming on i just drop whatever it is im doing and go lay down till it passes. Sometimes they last for months on end. Sleep seems to be the only temporary relief for me. My doctor prescribed me with a powerful antidepressant, and that didnt help at all- i self medicate myself using alcohol- this seems to be the only thing that calms me down.. Does anyone know of a better way or a cure to eliminate this misery from my life.

hoverjoe1 asked: Not the typical everyday stressing like a normal person does. But, one small problem can arise and I will obsess on it ALL DAY. It will deter my thought process/attention at work–even driving in the car. I want this EXTRA chatter to disappear. Does anyone else feel me? If so, what medication do you take to remedy the problem?
PS. Not interested in homeopathic cures; I already exercise; and yes I am going to the doctor next week–I just need a headstart as to what is my deal. So, please no lectures–just an answer. Thanks.

Tracie F asked: I have had problems for the last couple of years with white heads and black heads on my face and zits on my legs and back. Anyone have a solution to this? I am currently on medication for anxiety disorder and cannot take the medication the dermatologist gave me so i’m looking for another way of getting rid of it. Proactiv does not work on me.

Karen asked:
A 92 year old relative with severe macular degeneration in one eye and visual impairment in the other suffers from hallucinations (Charles Bonnet Syndrome) for days at a time even with her eyes closed. We have tried changing available light, exercise, changing what she is looking at during the day, and avoiding TV, but nothing helps. It is causing great anxiety even though she knows that her eye condition causes the hallucinations. Does anything help? This even prevents her from sleeping since the hallucinations are present when she closes her eyes.
