I taken medicines and then had call with family members had some discussion and due to the discussion I was little nervous. afterwards I started feeling little scared about the things around, sweating, then omitted 2 times and was not able to fall in sleep due to uncauntiousness. from last night I am feeling like I am having acidity.
Male | 26
You had a tough experience, it seems. The symptoms like nervousness, sweating, throwing up, and difficulty sleeping could point to anxiety. Anxiety can sometimes cause physical signs including stomach issues. Try to calm down by taking deep breaths and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. If symptoms don't go away, speaking to an expert could provide more help.

I take Sertraline for anxiety and depression and I am going to have my first tattoo done and don't no if the Sertraline has blood thinners in it. Many Thanks.
Male | 47
Sertraline is a medicine often used for anxiety and depression. Tattooing does not contain blood thinners but may result in minor bleeding. Thus it’s important to inform the tattoo artist about your intake of Sertraline so that they can take necessary precautions. To prevent any complications ensure you adhere to their aftercare advice.

I have recently increased my anixety & nervousness....and I have suffered from emotional break...
Female | 29
Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

I’ve been struggling with sleep the slightest bit of light or noise and sometimes even nothing makes me not able to sleep I’ve been getting frustrated and upset really easily and I’ve been over eating
Female | 18
You might find that insomnia and stress are your main issues. Trouble sleeping can be caused by a little bit of light or noise. Feelings like anger, being upset, and eating too much can lead to other problems. Try creating a soothing bedtime routine, like reading a good book or taking a hot bath. Avoid screen time and large meals before bed. If these steps don't help, seek professional advice from a gynecologist.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
Pressing nerves and muscles could be body-focused repetitive behavior. This means squeezing or pushing body parts. Anxiety can make this worse. You should see a psychiatrist and neurologist. Since they found no physical problems, managing anxiety and stress may help.

Male | 16
Masturbation is a natural and healthy act. On the other hand, if it is affecting your daily life and your ability to focus on studies it might be a symptom of a deeper problem. It is advised that you seek the help of a mental health professional or a sex therapist.

Female | 22
Taking several drugs together can involve serious risks. Those medications can have critical impacts on your physique as they interact. Some signs you might face are dizziness, confusion, slow breathing, and even blacking out. It is important to get help right away by either calling the emergency services or going to the nearest hospital. The medications are mixed, and they can be life-threatening. Therefore, you should get medical assistance at once.

Female | 19
Self-harm thoughts, breathing difficulties, or very rapid heartbeat rate are severe. These can be indicators of a mental health condition like depression or anxiety. Talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling. Some therapists and psychiatrist are willing to listen to you and help you to feel better.

Am fully stress and i can't sleep all night. I wand to cry i don't know the reason but i wand cry
Female | 18
That's normal - everyone experiences those feelings now and then. Stress builds up. It makes sleeping difficult and brings tears easily. That's okay though. Try opening up to someone you trust about what's bothering you. Deep breaths or listening to calm music might help too. Don't forget: taking care of your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

I wonder if I have a form of OCD. I finger tap, muscle twitch, and count syllables. Also, when I finger tap and muscle twitch, it has to be equal on both sides of my body, or else it really bothers me. Also, let's say I hit my elbow on a table or fridge, I feel a very urgent need to touch my other elbow to said table or fridge, and it is very hard to ignore the need. This has been bothering me for about 2-3 years. (Ever since I started high school).
Female | 16
Your description points to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. OCD is a condition where thoughts repeat. People feel compelled to do actions repeatedly. This includes tapping, counting, or needing symmetry. OCD treatment usually involves therapy and medication. Speaking with a psychiatrist about symptoms is crucial.
