Severe facial blushing Posted: 09-19-08 03:26am
All my life I have been having periods
that I would blush over nothing. It
usually happends during dinner or when I
walk into friends in the mall. I can feel
the heat crawling up my back and before I
know it my face is bright red and my heart
is pounding. It always makes me feel like
I want to hide so peole don't see me so
red. It is so embarrasing! It happends
during dinner too evepn when no one is
saying anything at all. The period only
lasts for 30 seconds or so but it is so
frustrating!
Should I look for medicinal help? or
should I find a psychiatrist? Does anyone
else have this? and how do you deal with
it?
It has been happening so much lately that
I am getting nervous just to go out to the
store

you shouldn't be so worried about it. Most
likely, this is a psychological disorder.
You feel nervous in some situations, which
leads to the body reacting differently (in
your case, blushing). After you have
become aware of this blushing, you get
nervous about getting nervous.
For example, say you are at the mall and
you bump into a group of people that you
know. Because you are afraid of blushing,
the first thing your body is going to do
is become nervous. You say to yourself,
"Oh no, I'm going to start blushing". Or
something like that. Then of course,
because your nervous about getting
nervous, you begin to blush.
That is probably confusing, but for an
answer...try meditating or some soothing
exercises. Don't try medication right
away, I'm sure you can fix this yourself.
You just have to learn to stay calm in
certain situations, and not worry.
Eventually it will go away if you learn to
not stress over it.
