How do I stop my phobias and anxieties from literally taking over my life? Please Help!?
Phew! You’ve got a lot of stuff going on there. Your fears and phobias definitely appear to be interfering with your life. I think I’d suggest you start with a therapist. Once you explain yourself to the therapist hopefully they can determine whether or not they can help you alone or suggest you see someone to obtain medication. Often people need medication and talk therapy to overcome problems like yours. If it’s some sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder medicine can help to stop some of these interfering thoughts you have over and over again. On another note, there are dentists who specialize in working with patients who are extremely fearful of seeing them. They offer sedation to relax patients, along with headphones with music to calm people down. If you don’t go to the dentist routinely you can have bigger problems that do cause a lot of pain. Good luck to you, and I hope you are feeling better (and calmer) soon.
