I'll go with you to the deserted Island!  That's practically all I think about anymore!

I finally went to a psychologist or psychiatrist yesterday. Not sure which one. The one that doesn't prescribe meds. Very disappointed for that reason alone, I know I really could us the meds. But I feel better, I made the first step. He says both are beneficial. One for the meds and the other to work out the problem and underlying problems as well. Apparently the one that prescribes the meds isn't the one that actually helps with the therapy part of it. Whichever, I know both are definitely needed. Part of the reason I believe my problem keeps reoccurring, because I had it twice before and it went away both times. It was a moment of insecurity that did leave. This time I believe people are spreading this, that I'm some kind of a weirdo or whatever to put it nicely and the moment I suspect that someone knows,..THERE IT IS!! When you go up to someone that it has never happened to before and their covering themselves? Then yeah, It's there, and it's stuck, and being around them or anyone that knows them just fuels the anxiety. I mean what do you do? You can't really blame them. It's just very hard. Already this has effected so much of my life and who I am. I am a good person and a huge heart, bigger than what it really should be in some cases. I used to be way more outgoing, didn't really ever meet a stranger. Now I feel I am the stranger. Somebody mentioned a deserted island, I'm game!!!!

Hello Abhay,

Nope, not here, not for me!!!  I was at the desk at the dentist and was waiting for my next appointment when I looked at the Billing Clerk's chest.  I was so angry, upset, weirded out.  It put a pall on an otherwise wonderful visit to the dentist.  Nope, only limited progress here, but mine seems to be connected to my self esteem and sense of comfort at the time and my lack of interpersonal skills.  Any ideas anyone...ANYONE???  I tried the psychology route, not luck there.  So, I've been trying to do things to help myself to raise my self esteem and Ego hoping that would help.

I wish this was a more active forum, It's nice to know I'm not alone in this!.

[Recently affected...]

dude.....
wohh...
i am recently struck with this damn disease....
i don't think its as serious as you guys...

its just the initials...

the only time i feel ok is the time you forget about your problem...
practice laughing out loud and other things that make you forget all
about it...

if the fear keeps on....
then i fear my life is gone...

well i'm trying some holy rituals...
just trying to deviate my mind off sex...

i didn't have the problem when i was a kid...just didnt know
anything....

just trying to forget all about sex and take up a holistic
approach....
i hope that purifies this impure mind....

Take hold of it NOW!! Do Not submit yourself to the fear. It doesn't control you, you control it!!Start now!! Cause the longer it persists the harder it is to overcome it. I've thought about the religious route to. Praying daily every moment it comes on. I'm even gonna have a good friend pray over me. If I can only get to her. She's far away. But stay strong and keep writing what works for you might help us and visa versa.

[R Deepak Anand]

yes even i too have noticed it..when u forget that u have this problem everything's fine..but the damning thing is eventually it crops up and then u keep obsessing about this whole 'not being able to keep eye contact' thing.
