Mental Health

I have been seeing unusual things when I'm alone/around people due to fear of the similar stuff, I have anxiety and cuz of that I'm having alopecia areata, I also hear voices and i don't know what to do and most of these are of self harm and I've harmed myself too. People think that I'm lying because of the hallucinations I have and when I tell them about what u really felt until i realise at a point I was hallucinating, I hear voices of self harm, death, questions and it haunts me a lot, I've been alone for almost a decade and my father left me almost a decade ago as he married someone else, my mom wasn't involved in my things but my sister because she was younger i apparently became alone. I need help and i don't feel safe when I'm alone.

My name is bharat thakkar I am suffering ocd which caused me to be paranoid I have been suffering this from 16years But no relief always being suspicious because of always conflicts persecutory delusions So the experience taught me I am on medications Now what I understood is that the patient should not try to become a doctor If you try to cure ocd on your own you are giving importance to thought Which then increases it and the problem worsens So the best thing you can do is not treat it on your own take your medications And that's it Needed you doctors feedback

I've got anxiety disorder from as long as I can remember. There are times when it's too high n times when it disappears. But I've learnt how to handle some of the symptoms. I practice yoga regularly, breathing exercises , gym with weight training too.I have a flight coming up n just thinking about it makes me nervous. It's not my first one. Although I travel about twice a year by plane but I've always had travel anxiety. Staying away from home n flying just makes me nervous. As much as I look forward to a holiday with family, this anxiety dampens the excitement. How can I enjoy?

Hello Doctor,** Main 2005 se severe Somatic (Sensorimotor) OCD aur Social Anxiety se jujh raha hu. Mere mukhya lakshan ye hain: **1. Heartbeat Fixation & Muscle Spasm:** Dhyan har waqt dhadkan par rehta hai jisse darr lagta hai ki heart fail ho jayega. Ghabrahat ya behes ke waqt adrenaline rush se peeth ki muscles buri tarah akad jati hain. Is tension se kamar (L4-L5) ki nas dabti hai, jisse dono taango me bhayanak dard, sui chubhna aur sunn-pan (numbness) aa jata hai. Saari takat khatam ho jati hai. **2. Muh & Thook (Saliva):** Dhyan baar-baar muh par jane se bahut jada thook banta hai. Logo ke samne isko baar-baar nigalne (swallowing) me bahut sharmindagi hoti hai. **3. Aankhein & Eye-Contact:** Kisi se baat karte waqt dimag atak jata hai ki samne wale ki left aankh me dekhu ya right me. Mujhe darr lagta hai ki main 'bhenga' (cross-eyed) lag raha hu. **4. Social Anxiety:** Bazaar ya bheed me jate hi extreme ajeeb ghabrahat hoti hai. Lagta hai sab log mujhe hi notice kar rahe hain aur

Hello doctors, I wanted to understand about ER and ER for sleep problems and hyperarousal. Do these medicines help sleep long term as long as the medicine is continued, or do they mainly help only initially because of sedation? After the body develops tolerance to the sedating effect, do they still help by calming hyperarousal/overactive brain activity and improving sleep quality, or does the sleep benefit usually reduce significantly? Would especially like to know in cases of ADHD, autism, anxiety, or chronic insomnia related to hyperarousal. Thank you. 🙏

In 2025 she had surgery for hernia.Same year my father was diagnosed with ckd and was hospitalized thrice in a period of 6 months. He is now on dialysis. With all these diagnoses and multiple hospitalizations, I have developed extreme anxiety and health problems like ibs. Even the slightest issue makes me really anxious. I am the only daughter so everything comes to me. I can't take therapy as I can't afford it right now. Please suggest something to manage my health anxiety.
