I am sensitive and fear socializing with people. Is there any effective medication?
Hello doctor,
I am realizing that I am an extremely sensitive person. I fear socializing with people. I think too much about what people think about me. There is a lot of fear within me. When people scold me, I take it too deeply and even my mouth vibrates. It is conspicuously visible. I have a lot of social fear mixing with people. While greeting people in my sister's engagement ceremony, while smiling at a woman, all of a sudden mouth started to vibrate in fear. Overall, I am extremely sensitive to what people think about me. I feel depressed because of my embarrassment in front of them. I am sensitive even to sound and noise. Because of this, I find it difficult to go around and play or work in a group. If someone asks me something I fear before answering. I want to be calm and tough enough to face the society. Is there any effective medication? I am a law graduate as well. This problem is affecting my career and relationship. I am too shy and absent-minded. My first and final query is what is the disorder I am having? Please explain my disorder.

What symptoms will a person with hypomania show?
Hello doctor,
I have bipolar disorder, but I cannot afford medication for a while (I am still new to learning about it as I only got diagnosed a few months back). Anyway, for the last ten days, I have been having trouble sleeping (three to five hours a night), but I still have lots of energy when I am awake. I am speaking fast (my friends have commented on it), my thoughts are racing, and I am flirting with strangers. Also, I keep thinking I see bugs, but there are not any, and I am not sure if this is hypomania. Please help.

Hemorrhoids are affecting my mood very badly. How to manage?
Hi doctor,
I had an eating disorder before 16 years. It stressed my health very severely for around 5 years. Now, I am 35 years old. Also, I suffer from hemorrhoids, which affect my mood very severely. I have social impairments as my emotions are no longer clean. This is really an important issue for me. With my doctor's advice, I tried laxatives such as Miralax and Lactulose. I found that most laxatives, try to draw water into the stools. I tried to eat lots of fiber and flax seeds. My opinion is that the fruit contains fiber and lots of water, so there would be no need to take laxatives as the water is already included. In my opinion, since the kidneys will simply filter the water out, it is difficult to get the water to really mix with the food in the gut. It is much better to eat food that already contains water. Also, I noticed that fruit does not have many calories and I lost 11.02 lb. Now, I am really in my ideal weight. Today, I bought nut, nutella and peanut butter to have high calorie dense food. However, it was not easy, even to eat chocolate and nuts. Chocolate makes the stools sticky. Also, these snacks are very expensive and they have a lot of negative effects on health. How can I eat as much fruit as possible and still eat between 1800 and 2400 calories per day? I am 6.07 ft tall and currently only weighs 176.37 lb. It is also important for me to keep my weight. It is also extremely important for me to have good digestion and no long-term health consequences. Can you send me a list of healthy high calorie density food?
