I'm really struggling with shyness whenever I'm around girls. Even a simple touch makes me feel like there's an electric current running through me, and it's been like this since I was in Class 4, not just starting from 9th grade. I went to a coed school from LKG, so it's not like I haven't been around girls. It's complicated because Ive always been quite poor with academics, but I'm super active in sports. Do you think this shyness could be some sort of psychic issue?

I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for years now, and even though I'm on medication, it's not helping much. It's really affecting my work and daily life, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Are there any newer treatments or even surgical options that could help with OCD? I'm desperate for something that actually works.

Modern treatments like deep TMS,DBS,and intensive CBT may help treatment-resistant OCD.Specialist evaluation is needed.

I've been feeling this really uncomfortable sensation like I might vomit whenever I'm in a cab or on a bus, especially if it's crowded. It's like I can't breathe properly and just feel really suffocated. It's starting to worry me. Could there be something going on that I need to address?

yes it happens that when you are in a place where enough ventilation or air circulation is not there or closed spaces will make you nauseous and choky...best thing is to relax yourself so that you breathe easy in such situations and avoid such places...the oxygen saturation also comes down.
