Psychological Counselling

I have had gut issues recently after my uti treatment. Symptoms were abdomen pain on right side but tests like endoscopy and ct scan contrast came normal and right now I have constipation, little bit mucus in stool my mistake was I went on google and Reddit and read so much that I convinced myself that I have IBD (my symptoms are not at all severe) but I convinced myself at this point that I have severe issues like ibd or some other issues my doctors say i am stressed but after reading and googling so much I have become very hypochondriac and I am not able to function mentally and my professional, personal life is disturbed cause of this fear and doctors won't do invasive tests unless they see the proper reason to do so. I am just very anxious now I just feel everyday is the same it's like a habit i can't stop myself from Googling symptoms.Although senior gastroenterologist said I have ibs I can't simply accept it.I feel doctors are missing out on something.

Why can't practo be more practical about the mental health patients or anxious ones, how am I supposed to change my councellor everytime or anytime. I just came to book a session with my councellor but nope they want to give me a doctor whom I have to explain again why I'm like this and what happened all along. This thing is giving me more and more anxiety, I just want to cry, I want to tell everything but I can't have my councellors number or anything due to these so called terms and conditions of online consultation and when I try to book an appointment, boom here is a new councellor please co-operate and tell them everything again. Anyday if my councellor will see this, she will know what I'm talking about. I just wanted an appointment with you mam. Please respond if you are reading this. Namrata

Please help me. I don’t have money right now. I will pay later whatever I can. Please, if any psychologist can help me on humanitarian grounds😭🙏.

Self-Harm Urges Hello Doctor, I am writing to seek help for my emotional control and self-harm behavior. I have been in a relationship for the past 4 years, and I also know my partner’s family well. He is my most trusted person. However, I am facing intense anger and emotional distress, especially during small arguments with my boyfriend. Sometimes he scolds me, but later he says sorry. Still, I feel hurt and think he is ignoring me. When he does not answer my calls or messages, I feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to control my emotions. In those moments, I get very angry and say things without understanding. Later, I feel guilty and regret my actions. Instead of hurting him, I have hurt myself by cutting my hand twice. I am scared of this behavior and I do not want to continue like this. I want to understand why I react so strongly and learn how to manage my emotions in a healthy way. I am also worried that my behavior may damage my relationship. I am seeking professional guidance

I took rabies vaccine 5 days before. Before i reached the medical they already kept vaccine loaded syringes in a open plastic container. One ice packet also there. I saw one used syringe was there without needle in the same container. So my vaccine loaded syringe, one ice packet and one used syringe without needle all are in a same container. The little moisture water also there due to ice packet. The used syringe may b used for RIG - rabies immunoglobulin to a patient. If that used syringe is contaminated with hiv. Due to moisture Whole container and my vaccine loaded syringe will be contaminated? As all are in a same container. How much risk for HIV and rabies for me ? I am very much tensed after this incident. Please help and what step should i take now ?

Hello Doctors, I am 27 years old working in IT. I have public speaking anxiety disorder since long time. Sometimes, i manage through it for initial few minutes but sometimes, it becomes so extreme that i get fully shaky, faster heartbeat, and feels like something is choking in throat region. It generally happens in the initial 3-4 minutes and then, settles down. Today also, it happened during presentation and i was sensing everything and audience also noticed shaky voice and one colleague mentioned that my voice was like about to cry. When i took a break for a 5 sec, i felt relaxed and continued further without anxiety. Lot of people in forum advises taking propranol beta blockers but i don't find that as a solution to this problem and may become dependent on it. Please advise me what i should do. It will be much helpful. Thank you.

Hi, I have society anxiety. I am able to express/present in online situations or in one to one situations but whenever i have to present/express in a group my anxiety peaks, heart rates increases rapidly, my thoughts start to blank, my voice amplitude drops (like something makes my throat choke), uncontrollable twiches happen on face and hands, some sweating too, words start to fumble. This has made my professional and personal life soo tough. I am trying to improve by reading self help books, meditation, yoga etc. Somewhat its improving but no where near under control. I don't know if its physical issue or psychological. I have a big presentation in few days, I researched and found Propranolol 10 or 20mg could help in the event. Is it fine to take for the event and how can i get it? Also any suggestions or path for long term solution. Thanks
