I'm really struggling with a bad habit of hand practice and just don't know how to stop. Every time I feel weak and tell myself I'll quit, I find myself right back at it once I start feeling better. It's like I can't control the urge no matter how hard I try, and I'm just exhausted from failing over and over. There are lots of triggers depending on the situation, and I really could use some help figuring out how to manage this. Any advice on what I can do?

In such cases, medications like fluoxetine (Prozac) can be helpful in reducing compulsive behaviors. Additionally, counseling or therapy can also be beneficial in addressing the underlying reasons for this behavior and developing coping strategies. Do not start any medication without consulting a specialist first.

View allI've been experiencing dreams every single day, and sometimes they get really scary. When I wake up from these, I feel so restless and tired, like I haven't slept at all. This has been happening since I was a kid, but after my dad passed away when I was 23, the dreams got much worse. He would often appear in my dreams and I would cry. Although it's not as intense now, I still have this issue with dreams every day, even if I take a nap during lunch. It affects me so much that I just feel exhausted all the time. I've never talked to a doctor about this before, but I'm starting to really worry. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing vivid dreams or even sleep disturbances, which can be exacerbated by emotional stress, such as the loss of your father. This is quite common, and your restless feelings upon waking could be linked to disrupted sleep cycles. It might help to speak to a healthcare professional about this, as they can offer strategies or treatments to improve your sleep and emotional well-being.

Can anxiety cause a dry mouth?
Yes. During an anxiety attack, you are more likely to breathe through your mouth. All of that air passing through your oral cavity can dry up your saliva.
