Scuff up the bottoms of the shoes a little by dragging your feet on concrete.  When the soles are too smooth, they are slippery.

It could be a stress fracture coming on. But I suspect that it is your shoes. I know you said there are no binding issues, but perhaps you should try leaving the laces off the part of your foot where the pain is. So, make a box shape with your laces in that spot and then lace as normal at the top. If this causes your heel to slip, you can make a loop lace, which is the best way to tighten your shoe to your heel. It is hard to explain but if you go to your local running store they should be able to help you with this problem, without trying to sell you anything.

Learn to defend yourself.. martial arts, or keep a brick in your purse, so when you swing it... ouch. Swiss army knives are good to have, as well, but only in close combat.... high heels and pointy toes are good. Screw metal onto your heel of the shoe. guys or girls. Metal hurts when you squish somebody's foot, it has happened to me... Preferably something sorta like tap shoes would work.

Sounds like a case of depression to me.  I don't understand why "minor" setbacks should have brought this on.  The most important thing you can do is to get regular exercise!  Really.  The oxygen will revive you, exercise will improve your body, improving your body will make you feel better about yourself.  It's hard to start, but once you make it a habit it is a lot easier.  Next, I recommend some activity that connects you to other people, especially dancing--something vigorous, like ballroom, swing, Cajun.  It will give you a high, especially once you learn enough to feel confident doing it.  Third, perhaps you need a better job?

We had a sub in ballet last week who told us to really "use our energy".  She explained that if you look confident and happy, and expressive, it will help your entire performance.  Another thing she said was, "the floor will always be there.  It won't disappear if you don't look at it."  \n\nShe also helped me improve my plies.  For me, the biggest thing holding me back was that my plies were just not deep enough.  She explained that without a good solid plie you are more likely to hurt yourself.  At one point, she gently pushed down on my shoulders to show me how deep the grande plies should be.  Sounds like a silly thing, but my dancing has improved a LOT since last week.  She also told me to really be concious of my allignment.

Been there and done that.  I sympathize with you.\n\nFor a temporary fix, you need to get sport tape and tape up your arches.  You must hold your foot so that it is in a normal standing position while you're taping.  Do not let your feet into a relaxed position while taping, or you won't be able to stand up when you're done.  Start taping on the top of your foot behind but near the widest part of your foot, right behind the toes.  Continue taping, slightly diagonally as far back as is practical.  The downside of this is that you've got to peel that tape back off at the end of the day.  And that is NOT fun--talk about a STRANGE feeling as you pull it off the bottom of the foot.  But at least this should get you through temporarily.\n\nFor a permanent solution, you will need to see a podiatrist and obtain orthotics for your shoes.  These are tailor-made inserts, molded exactly to fit your foot.  They are rather expensive (mine were about $350 about seven years ago), but many health insurance policies cover them.  Even if they don't, believe me they are worth the cost.\n\nIf you have plantar faciitis in both feet, expect it to take at least a year of wearing the orthotics to completely heal.  (You'll see marked improvement much sooner than that, though.)\n\nOne major no-no for those who have plantar faciitis--NEVER go barefoot or wear shoes without good arch support.  That lets the arch drop again.

try doing them on a strap bar (if you have one)...or on low bar with your coaches spot...to get used to the around the bar thing...then try moving up to the high bar...just remember to keep your elbows straight...because if you dont make it over..the worst that happens is you land on the other side..if you bend your elbows..well, just dont bend them...stay tight and believe in yourself. good luck!

Part of why you don't like it is because you haven't learned how. It probably wasn't somthing done very often in your household when you were growing up. But this practice has been around for centuries. Back ages past it was a way to get close to a woman you were interested in, and if you could move at all and still smile sweetly as you gazed adoringly upon her, then you were the object of all woman's affections.\nLearn some older steps first in a classroom setting. It will give you a good foundation for learning more moves and modern dances. Once you've got the hang of moving your feet to the beat, and not being stiff kneed or staring at your toes... then you can learn some dances in a more social environment like a country bar and pick up some of those fun line dances.\nBelieve me a man who knows how to move on the floor will have more successful moves off the floor if you take my meaning. Plus it's a great excuse to hold a woman close, even strange women!\nEnjoy!

I know some people who have the same problem you do and it's because of the shoes they wear. They need to wear wider shoes  so there toes can have room.

Depends on the situation. Some things, I'm a little shy when I first do it, but then get comfortable with it (like meeting new people). Other things I just refuse to do (like dancing). But that's just me.

you need an eccentric exercise program for this.  Muscles can contract in either concentric or eccentric fashion. Concentric means that the muscle shortens as it contracts and eccentric means that it lengthens while contracting.  Don't do concentric exercises, eccentric or heel lowering off a step (toes on the step) will do the trick.  This along with rest from the aggravating activity and some antiinflamatory drugs will help.
