View allI'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.

I'm really struggling with this Cardiophobia anxiety disorder I've been dealing with since last year after the whole COVID situation. I got all the tests done back then ECG, TMT, and echo and they were normal according to my cardiologist. But I can't shake off the constant anxiety about my heart, and it's affecting my daily life. I need to know if having Cardiophobia can actually lead to a heart attack or any heart problems, or is it really just my fear playing tricks on me?
Cardiophobia, also known as anxiety about having heart problems, is a psychological condition where a person has an excessive fear of heart-related issues despite medical reassurance. This fear and anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. It is important to understand that Cardiophobia itself does not cause heart attacks or any heart issues. The symptoms experienced are usually due to anxiety and not an underlying heart problem. To help manage your Cardiophobia, it is recommended to seek therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or relaxation techniques. In some cases, medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be prescribed to help with anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing anxiety related to Cardiophobia. If you are experiencing severe anxiety symptoms or if your symptoms are significantly impacting your daily life, I recommend consulting with a mental health professional for a personalized treatment plan.
