Hi. I have hiv phobia like everyone think even I think it's a shameful to have metalillness. And my story is hiv and hep c transmission through fish in fish spa even I know it's impossible through this route but can't control my thoughts. I keep on asking for reassurance and sometimes I irritate people and I feel angry on myself to disturb them. And I've been to psychiatrist and taking fluoxetine tabs and I'm tired of it. So if possible please help me in my recovery and I want someone to convince me (sorry because I irritated so many doctors and I'm badly in need of help. I don't want to live like a dead body so if possible help me.

Dear user, Nervousness or Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders: including generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorders mainly because medicines do not alter behavior. Behavior change and Continuous practice of the changed behavior cure anxiety. I suggest anxiety education, progressive counseling and progressive psychotherapy. I assure you complete cure. I need to know more about your anxiety so that I will be able to diagnose it properly and provide you tips to overcome and manage your anxiety. Take care.
