  1. Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
    This issue is not easily solved by yourself or on the internet ..you need a psychologist to consult ..you need a lot of counseling and support..
    Initially practice yoga and meditation and find a good psychology clinic around ..

  2. hi
    i can understand your feelings and the fear that you have in your mind. but you should understand that all the men are not the same. you can avoid going out alone. always be occupied with your friends or family. that will give you a sense of security.
    thanks

  3. HI
    YOU SHOULD CONSULT A COUNSELLOR OR A PSYCHIATRIST. ITS QUITE NATURAL THAT YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY BECAUSE OF THE PAST EPISODE,BUT YOU NEED TO MOVE ON AND FORGET THE PAST. START ANTI ANXIETY TABLETS

    This is a developmental anxiety disorder. U need to consult a adolescent clinic specialist. You need to concentrate on changing your attitude and personality. You will be fine. Don’t worry. Consult a psychologist
