I started lumateperone 3 days back and it's giving me really bad insomnia. I'm taking it at bedtime. Would taking it early at 6 pm help?

Involuntary Sexual Activity During Sleep 1. I have been experiencing involuntary sexual activity during sleep for about 4 years. 2. It occurs predominantly during the first half of my sleep. 3. I have partial awareness during these episodes. 4. However, I am unable to control the activity once it starts. 5. Sometimes, masturbation or other sexual activity occurs involuntarily during sleep. 6. I become aware of what happened after waking up. 7. I have been experiencing marked anxiety related to this problem. 8. I also experience low mood at times. 9. Because of this, I have developed some social avoidance.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and now due to urine lab report error I had 7 days of nitrobact 100 2 times a day for uti..and now I fear that due having unnecessary antibiotics it will cause bacteria resistance and have health problem in future and will harm the baby? Please help

I am 34 weeks pregnant and recently in my urine test there came protein positive and 4-6 pus cell and I fear that result came due to contamination because I don't have any symptoms of uti and the specimen collector also told me to keep that sample uncapped and by looking the report itself doctor recommended me Nitrobact 100 for 7 days and I took 7 days of antibiotics without doing repeat urine test. So now I am feeling guilty and having anxiety because of thinking about unnecessary antibiotics causing bacteria resistant and harming my baby in anyway.

Hello Doctor Ji, I am struggling with  social anxiety. Whenever I have to speak in front of a senior person or a professional woman, my heart starts beating very fast, I become extremely scared, and my voice becomes very low. Because of this fear, I find it difficult to go to work and speak confidently in an office. I don’t have money to afford regular therapy right now. I am a poor boy, but I have big dreams, and I genuinely want to build a better life. This anxiety is becoming a major obstacle in my life. Please, if possible, could you teach me 3–4 CBT techniques that I can practice on my own to reduce my fear, control my this symptoms, and speak calmly and confidently in front of Professional people? I want to be able to go to work without constantly being afraid of my heartbeat and speak normally. Please help me for Humanity. I would be extremely grateful for your guidance and support. I just want a chance to overcome this problem and live a normal, independent life😭🙏.
