Can hypnotic therapy help my reluctant mother eat?

There are numerous reasons for this, such as the risk of depression or some medical conditions. Hypnotic therapy is not usually a method employed in this case. Figuring out the reasons behind her not wanting to eat is the first step. Have the conversation with her first and then help her find the right psychiatrist who will come up with the best treatment.

Am I experiencing anxiety attacks with hyperventilation?

When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

I am a 26 year old female. I am experiencing extreme sadness and exhaustion no matter how much I sleep or take rest. My father suffered a head injury after which he is in a vegetative state since 2021, I am his primary care giver. I am not able to deal with his loss in my life and slowly I am losing all hope to face the next day. I eat a lot, in excess whenever I feel sad. I am not able to do anything productive and I am not happy.

Coping with such a situation can be incredibly challenging, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed, sad, and exhausted. It's essential to prioritize your mental and emotional well being during this trying period. Seek professional help, consider reaching out to a mental health professional, such as a therapist, counselor, or psychologist..

Am I suffering from anxiety disorder and excessive sweating?

What you describe seems like an anxiety disorder. When people find themselves in a state of panic, their bodies can respond in a variety of ways. Symptoms can make you a little self-conscious about your colleagues' opinions, thus impairing your memory and possibly leading to pain in your joints. Listening to relaxation techniques, adding exercise to your routine, and talking with a psychiatrist might help. Anyway, you should know that you are not the only one who experiences this and there are ways to get better.

Why do I wake up feeling choked while sleeping?

You might be experiencing sleep paralysis. It happens at night when you suddenly wake up and feel unable to move or breathe for a short time. Though it can be scary, it’s usually not serious.
