Comment on Understanding Enochlophobia by Colleen

Colleen — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:21:35 +0000

I am a 22 year old female who lives in NYC (of all places) and I have enochlophobia. In fact, just this minute, I found that there is actually a name for it. I don’t feel so alone anymore. I didn’t start having panic attacks until I was 15 in a convention center. I love being around people, I’m so personable, but I will wait 30 minutes to get on a train that isn’t crowded or I will go out of my way to avoid crowds of strangers. Strangely, it only happens when the crowd is a majority male. I’m pretty sure I know why. This site helped me a least a little bit though. Thank you.

I am fairly certain I have enochlophobia. I try to think back through my life and cannot pin point when or why it started. It pops up in places I don’t expect and doesn’t in other places. I can’t go to the mall, or church, or Walmart on Saturday. But then I love to go to live theater, just have to sit in back. Can not give talks in church, never go to parties. But am fine meeting people one on one. I am OK with all of it. I just go to Walmart early in AM. Thanks.

Neurology Professionals Link Hoarding to Heredity…

New neurology studies show that hoarding can be a form of OCD. Neurologists believe that it may be inherited from other family members. I don’t know much about this but I would try contacting a Chicago neurologist for more information on the condition…

I myself am enochlophobic, and I am trying to figure out the psychology of this fear. Is there something that could have triggered my fear? Or was I simply born this way? Knowing answers to my questions would definitely help in the process of overcoming my fear. Thank you.

Anxiety attacks should be stopped in its early stages because it may leave its effect on the whole family. Some natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John’s Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan. There’s also cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and programs like Panic Away and The Linden Method, to name a few. Hope this helps!

Comment on Causes of Narcolepsy by Sam Newman

Sam Newman — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:07:51 +0000

Hello, I am 51 years old and the last four years I have been diagnoised with: COPD with emphysema, Sarcoidosis of the lung and skin with fibrosis of the heart and liver, Obstructive/Central sleep apnea and on bi-pap with oxygen, Narcolepsy and on largest dose of Provigal allowed, Hypothyroidism and have not got the level steady yet, Hypertension, Short term memory loss, degenerative disc disease with sciatica, Major depression disorder, cellulitus of the lower legs and underarms and have been hospitalized the last two times in 2008 for antibotics by IV and mouth, Sojeron Syndrome ( salive glands stop working) and all teeth decayed and broke off at gum except 3, had pulled and now with dentures, Carpal tunnel surgery on both wrist, congestive heart failure, and rheumatoid arthritis in both ankles and knees and wear special shoes to keep my balance because I can not move my toes. Between 1991-2004 which is right before all this happened I had 7 failed back surgeries and now have L3,L4 L5, S1 fused and a pain pump and nerve stimulator implanted. And the Veteran Affairs can not see to give me my disability. I did get Social Security Disability in 1993, but the VA says no. I was in the Peacetime Navy and a HT. I did plumbing, welding , brazing, cutting steel, carpentry, asbestos lagging, asbestos tiles removal, put terrazzo flooring in, went throught 3 firefighting schools, wore asbestos suits in training and fight one minor fire on destoyer, . So that says I was exposed to asbestos, mold, mildew, raw sewage, lead based paint fumes, sandblasting dust, welding smoke, braxing flux burning, and wet rotten wood and the VA still looks the other way.

Peacetime Veteran,

Sam Newman
