What To Do For Over Reacting For Sudden Happenings?

I am extremely jumpy. Anything will startle me. A person could walk up behind me and greet me in a normal tone of voice. A person could put a hand on my arm to get my attention. Someone could accidentally drop something like a book... All will set me off. I will be jumping all over the place. Of course, my friends like to startle me on purpose and they think it is the funniest thing. Any way to help this so I m not jumping out of my skin all the time?? Please???

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There are 5 common mental disorders where startling is a symptom. They are just for your understanding. Do not conclude anything for now please. They are:

panic disorder
sandhoff disease
anxiety
acute stress disorder
general anxiety disroder
diseases of the nervous system

In my understanding, if there are no other symptoms related to mental disorders, then it should be due to diseases of the nervous system. Therefore, you may have to rethink about the physician you are consulting now.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
