Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

BPD triggers are different for each individual. On a general note, triggers are commonly either external or internal. External triggers are when trigger is from outside such as rejection of any kind, loss of job or relationship. Internal triggers are when trigger is from your mind such as any memory, location, image of past traumatic experience or loss.

I'm a bit worried about the medication my GP prescribed. They've suggested I take Lonazep .5 every day for a month, plus Lonazep .25 in the morning for 10 days. I'm just concerned about whether this will cause any addiction or if I'll experience withdrawal symptoms when I stop. Does this sound okay to you?

I'm dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when the phone rings out of the blue. It really freaks me out. My doctor gave me an antidepressant called Mitocent 30 mg to help with this. I'm a bit worried about any long-term side effects I might face if I keep taking it. Also, how long am I supposed to stay on this medication? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation.

Mitocent (30mg) is an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can be effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may have potential side effects like weight gain or changes in sleep patterns. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on the duration, and alongside medication, practicing relaxation techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly help in managing anxiety and panic attacks.

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?
