I've been dealing with some anxiety issues and I've noticed a habit of mine that's been concerning me. I tend to shake both my legs when I'm sitting cross-legged, and I can't help but wonder if it's causing me harm. After I'm done with the shaking, I sometimes start to sweat and feel pretty tired. Should I be worried about how this might be affecting my heart or maybe my overall health?

Question

I'm experiencing something kinda strange: I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself masturbating, but it's like I'm only half-aware while it's happening. I remember it clearly the next day, though. This has been going on for about 3-4 months now, mainly during sleep every 5-6 days. I don't feel the urge or masturbate during the day at allI've stopped doing that since a year ago because I'm trying to focus on my studies and stay out of relationships. It's got me feeling pretty down. I really want to stop this unconscious night-time habit. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can manage it?

Question

I'm Nikhil Gunjal from Ghatkopar, Mumbai, and I'm really worried because for the past two years, I've been dealing with what I believe are effects of black magic. It feels like someone is harming my body, and it's really frustrating not being able to identify who might be doing this. I'm convinced it's something external causing harm and even have proof to support my concerns. Can you offer any guidance or suggest what steps I can take to address this situation?

Question

I'm feeling a bit stuck and could really use some advice. I've been dealing with anxiety for around nine months and have been on medication, gradually reducing the doses as my doctor advised. Everything was going okay until I had a panic attack ten days ago. My doctor then prescribed etizola beta 0.25 mg for ten daysdouble dose for the first five, then single. After switching to the single dose, I was handling the withdrawal symptoms fine, but for the last two days, I've needed to take my dose in the morning instead of the evening because the symptoms get worse then. I'm not sure if I should increase my dose? I'm in the process of changing doctors, and the new one won't be available until Monday, so I'm kind of in a bind for the next couple of days. What should I do?
