TRYPOPHOBIA

 Today i just want share about a phobia. I am a trypophobia but not that bad. I just want to share what i feel with you just in case if you also feel the same way.

A phobia is described by the NHS as an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal.
They are more pronounced than fears and tend to develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger regarding a situation or object.
If a phobia sufferer doesn't come into contact with the source of their problem very often it may not affect their life - although in some cases even thinking about the thing they fear can give a person "anticipatory anxiety".
If a phobia becomes very severe, the person suffering may organise their life around avoiding the aspect that’s causing distress.

WHAT IS TRYPOPHOBIA?

 Trypophobia, or the fear of small holes, may be linked to deep-seated fears of illness and parasites, according to a new study.

Look at a bubble. Round, aerated, generally mysterious. But when do bubbles become nauseating?

From bubbles in a hot cup of coffee, to holes in a sponge or plaster, while the common appearance may seem innocuous it has been known to trigger intensely anxious responses. And that response has a name: Trypophobia.

Trypophobia, characterised as the fear of holes, has also been linked to a more generalised aversion to circular shapes such as bubbles. But what makes bubbles so disgusting? The answer may be found lurking just under the skin.

 Previous evidence suggested that the fear of bubbles stemmed from the clusters of round shapes found on poisonous animals, such as snakes and the blue-ringed octopus. But a new theory from psychologists at the University of Kent suggests our innate suspicion of rough circular shapes could, in fact, be linked to a history of human illness.

SYMPTOMS:

• dizziness,trembling and increased heart rate
• breathless
• nausea
• a sense of unreality
• fear of dying

But i just want to share with you my journey inj matriculation which can make all of you feel interesting..... SO HAPPY READING. :)

    I still remember when i got my result. It was not good but not that bad. I cried because i think that i never got an offer to go to university. I only have 2 option whether i go to the university or just stick in the form 6. I never dream about continue my study at matriculation because for me it quite lame and my cousin once told me that her brain is going to burst  because there's load of things to do there. I had to fill the matriculation foirm because my teacher forced me to do do. I even tell them that i rather work at a factory than continued my study at matriculation.
    I felt vey dissappointed because i dont get an offer for form 6. I dont satisfied. So i told my mother to go to  Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah to apply for form 6.Alhamdulillh i finally got an offer but i got science class. At the same day i got a news that i got an offer to go to matriculation alnd also in science class. Out of sudden i felt something.I dont know what to choose. My mother told me to perform 'istikahrah. While then i still waiting for univesity's offer. But i got reject because my result was not suitable for the course's qualification. Sometimes i think that i need to be an independent sometime.So i just choose matriculation because i want to gain an experience staying at the hostel.
   On the registration day, i felt bewildered because the college is so big.n I am afraid that i maybe late to calss because the distance from our hostel to lecture hall was very far. I am afraid that i maybe not nake any friends because i am a silence girl. I felt very sad when my mother left me. I got homesick..huhu ~ ~
    First day of the class make me worried. I dont know what kind of friend i may got. My first impression to my class is they were very quiet that i cant stand with them. I felt i wanted to ran away home but i cant do that.

    Week by week we gone through everything together. Actually my classmates was not that bad it just that we need time to know each other. I still remember when we study together and copy each other's work. It was the best things ever. We always corporate to do something bad such as not doing tutorial. I still remember my lecturer's advice''dont let the hydrogen bond between you and your friends broke''. Alhamdulillah we always perform in our quizzes and PSPM 1. I got 3.++.

    Matric life is so freaking busy. We rush here and there to settle our task. At first we struggling to adapt with this situation and now its become routine. Sometimes we do feel like wanna give up but we still keep going.

SAY NO TO DOUBLE CHIN

   All women have their own dream. Based on my research, all women only take care of their look especially on their face. They want everything to be perfect. No acne and no eyebag. I am sure all women have their dream to get a perfect shape face. Having a double is just a nightmare to them. Now i want to share on how to get rid of those double chin. :)

GET RID OF USELESS DOUBLE CHIN.

We’ve all tried tricks to hide a double chin—wearing a high-neck top or scarf and tilting our heads just right when our photo is taken.
There’s no denying it. The extra layer of fatty tissue under our chins is most often caused by being overweight. Sagging skin under the chin can also occur as we age and our skin loses elasticity. For a few, it can be genetic.
While there are surgical procedures that can eliminate a double chin, they can be expensive. There are many simple home treatment options to get rid of a double chin that are pocket-friendly and painless.

1)SUGAR FREE GUM 
 To get rid of a double chin, it is essential to keep your facial muscles toned and give the muscles in your jaw line a workout.

One of the best ways to do that is to chew sugarless gum. Sugar free chewing gum can even help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Simply chew sugarless gum several times a day to reduce your double chin as quickly as possible.

2)COCOA BUTTER 
 When cocoa butter is used regularly, it will improve the elasticity of your skin and help get rid of your double chin.

1. Slightly warm a few tablespoons of cocoa butter in the microwave.
2. Gently massage it into your neck and double chin for several minutes.
3. Do this twice a day, before taking a bath in the morning and every night before going to bed.

3) WHEAT GERM OIL
 Regular neck massage with wheat germ oil is another effective way to get rid of a double chin.












Wheat germ oil has the goodness of vitamin E oil that will nourish and help tighten the skin.

1. Before going to bed, rub some wheat germ oil gently around the chin area.
2. Gently massage upwards from the bottom of the neck to the chin for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Leave the oil on your skin overnight.
4. Repeat regularly to soon notice improvement in the appearance of your double chin

 6)EGG WHITE

 





















An egg white mask can be of great help in getting rid of a double chin because it has a skin tightening effect. Egg whites are also good for the overall health of the skin.

1. Whisk together two egg whites, one tablespoon each of milk, honey and lemon juice.
2. Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil.
3. Apply this mask to the skin around your chin and neck area.
4. Leave it on for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry your skin.
6. Do this once daily for quick results

7) CHIN EXERCISE
 Chin exercises can help stretch and tone your face, neck, and jaw muscles, thereby helping you get rid of your double chin. They will also strengthen your chin and neck muscles and relieve stiffness






 While keeping your spine erect, slowly tilt your head back until you are looking at the ceiling and then pucker up your lips in a pout. Hold this position for five counts and then release. Repeat 5 to 10 times in a row. Do this daily at least for a few weeks.

• Another exercise involves gently turning your head clockwise and then anticlockwise, keeping your spine straight all the while. Do 5 to 10 repetitions of this exercise, about three times a day for several weeks.

Note: You can do these exercises while sitting or standing but make sure to keep your spine erect.

Target Through a Rapist's Eye

 

  Recently I read about a woman got raped  by a group of man. What make me dissappoint was they kill her after raped her. I know that feeling because i am a woman too. She's got raped in a public area and there's no one helping her even she's shouted for health. Now, all women i want to tell you what rapist/men see on us.



A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women w! ith short hair are not common targets.

 

 2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

 

 3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

 

 4) The time of day men are most likely to attack and rape a woman is in the early morning, between 5 and 8:30 a.m.

 

 5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked at is grocery store parking lots. Number two is office parking lots/garages. Number three is public restrooms.

 

 6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

 

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

 

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

 

 9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these criminals you're not worth it.

 

  10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like 'what time is it,' or make general small talk, 'I can't believe it is so cold out here,' or 'we're in for a bad winter' etc. Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a lineup, you lose appeal as a target.

 

11) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with your strength but you can by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh -- HARD. One woman in a class said she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her. She was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands and the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it - it hurts.

  

 12) After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.

 

 13) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible.. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

 

 

 

 PLEASE READ THEN FORWARD THIS TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW. IT'S SIMPLE STUFF, BUT IT COULD SAVE HER LIFE. PASS IT ON TO EVERY MAN YOU KNOW TO SHARE WITH THE WOMAN IN HIS LIFE, TOO.
