I hate TITLES

[nikki1922]

So, I havent done a theard on here in forever, just because I have been feeling better and I dont get the response I want :P. But these are my concerns and problems. I guess I just wanna know why this happens to me, what I can do about it and maybe if anyone has the same experience?

I have a HUGE problem with eye contact. I do not look at anyone in the eyes expect for close family members and children. I do not know what it is. I've only noticed it over the past 4 years. Its really terriable. I can't explain it. Its such a bad feeling. My doctor and consllour are very understanding of this matter, but its hard to explain to anyone else, and i normaly dont bring it up. Im listening to what they are saying but sometimes i am so focused on avoiding the eye contact, and when to look, where to look ect. I forget what they are saying :(

I also have a another HUGE problem with taking medcation. I am can meds if they are smalled then my pinky nail for say. I think its ebcause I have overdoesed so much my body assocaties the feeling of pills with throwing up. If i take capules I can feel them and smell them. I gag and then just throw them up.ITs gotten to the point where even if i see a friend/or on tv taking a pill i cant watch it makes me nasues. I luckly was able to take liquid for my "main" medaction. Its gross tasting and very incovient but it works. Im just worried if in the future i need to tak something and i can't, because they don't have liquid.

Im also having a terriable week, i really want to cut or take just a few pills. Im trying really hard not to do this. I don't know who to turn to. I only seen my doctor Friday and my therpist yesterday. Im very paranoid to ask for their help this week. I don't want to seem needy..

doctors and therapists are there to help you. they certainly won't think of you as needy if you ask for help when you need it.

I have the same problems with eye contact. I'm not sure how to make it better - god knows all I do during therapy is stare at the carpet as I talk - but you're not alone in have difficulty meeting others' gaze.

I find it reallyhard to meet eye contact ill glance at people then when they look at me i quicjkley lok away because im scared of looking at people.
This is mainly cos of my insecurties and Asperhgers Syndrome but im sure it will get there as you build trust with people!

I too have problems being able to make eye-contact with others I think it is a lack of self-confidence, so perhaps working on building your self-confidence with your therapist could be helpful. Also it might be helpful to bring it up with your therapist about your fear of taking pills so you can work through it. In regards to asking for help, it won't make you seem needy. That's what your doctor and therapist are there for, so they can support you through this. Hold on there you will make it through this. Take care
