Why am I scared of people behind me?

Hi! I was just wondering why I had such a fear of people walking or sitting behind me! Sounds silly, but as a kid I would always get in the back of the line at school, and never want anybody in front of me, its still followed me and I'm 17, do you have any idea if its a phobia, or if I'm just paranoid?

You might have something called scopophobia, which is a fear of being watched or looked at. While it's natural to experience the discomfort of having someone standing behind you, on the other hand, it can be scopophobia if it has an impact on your everyday life. Symptoms are anxiety, sweating, and rapid heartbeat. The origin of it might be past experiences or genetics. Visit a psychiatrist for proper treatment.

You might be dealing with "earworms," which is when a song gets stuck in your head. This can happen due to stress, fatigue, or simply hearing the song too often. To manage it, try switching to a different activity, listening to another song, or talking to a counselor to handle stress. Remember to take breaks from work and enjoy some downtime.

Amitrip and zolax sr 0.5 can make the outcome rather risky. You might feel symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and also have coordination issues.

It seems that your moods and eating habits are changing significantly, which could be worrying.

Please, develop a routine consisting of a balance between nutrition and physical activity that will be the reason for your improved mood and energy.

This mix of medicines may make­ her very slee­py, confused, and give her a fast he­artbeat or even se­izures. These drugs can inte­ract badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the­ hospital right away so doctors can help her fee­l better and stop serious proble­ms from happening.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.

Male | 21

Often, a constant fe­eling of tiredness ye­t not wanting to sleep signals slee­p issues or irregular routine. Pe­rhaps insufficient rest or poor slee­p patterns occur. Stress, exce­ssive screen time­, or inadequate exe­rcise contribute. Establish a regular sle­ep schedule. Limit caffe­ine and sugar intake and wind down before­ bed.

The symptoms you're describing could be due to a panic attack, which can sometimes mimic a heart attack. It's important to address this issue promptly. Make sure you take your antidepressants consistently as prescribed and consult a mental health expert for the best way to manage your anxiety. Stress management techniques, like deep breathing exercises, can also help with these symptoms.
