Does my past relationship cause anxiety around girls?
Hello doctor,
I have extreme anxiety when I see an attractive girl. I feel like escaping from that place at that moment. I intentionally avoid going out and limit myself to home only to avoid attractive girls, I even stopped watching TV to avoid this. I believe this symptom may have started with a broken relationship I had with a girl 10 years back. I am 35 now but I still have it and it is getting worse, I am not sure if I will ever be able to overcome it. Please help.

How to stop imagining fake scenarios and live in reality?
Hello doctor,
I do not know why but I make a virtual world for myself. I always fake things about myself, tell untrue stories. When I remember people, like my ex-boyfriend, I imagine a conversation between me and him that had never happened and I feel happy. I keep imagining all that I wanted to do but have never done. I talk to people in my mind. I meet them, I see them, I laugh and cry in my mind. I am tired of imagining and failing in everything in real life. I even sometimes imagine the conversations with dead people.

What is the treatment of sleep walking with OSA?
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with OSA and parasomnia/sleepwalking. I have been on CPAP for several months now with success, but still having some episodes at night, where I act out my dreams and I am afraid and run out of the house onto the street. I was also violent and aggressive towards my partner during this time of the last episode, which was two nights ago. She has children that live with us and we are extremely concerned about their safety if I have one of these episodes. I do not drink alcohol, smoke, and try to reduce my stress level. I have been using the CPAP religiously but would like a backup method to suppress these violent episodes that may/may not happen. It is really affecting my sleep, especially since I broke my foot. Please help.

I am 24 years old. I have over imagination problems since when I was a child. I imagine that I am a winner, and what I want and where I want to go.
