How often does the letter u occur in:
I was concidering going to the doctors about it but I am not too sure if they would be able to do anything or refer me to anyone about it? I dont really want to have to take any kind of medication if I can help it really.
Does anyone have any good cures that they have used for a phobia at all? I have tried facing my fear but its not really doing the trick. I know they probably dont work but I was thinking about some kind of hypnosis or something? I mean it might work, even if is it just a mental thing? What do you think??
I dont know but if you find out something that works please tell me. I have the same thing-last summer I didnt leave my flat for 6 days out of 7 because I wouldnt go out on my own.
The condition is called spheksophobia. Im sure if you googled a bit on that youd find some good sites for helping you get over it.
I was told to go to this site for my arachnophobia.
Ive had a quick look at it and the technique I was told to use was TAB (Tapping and Breathing). The guy that told me about it was petrified of spiders but now he loves them and keeps them as pets!
I used to be fine with wasps and could pick bees up but now I run away.......
i have a fear of wasps too, not as bad as yours. My fear os spiders is much worse, and im generally bad with any creepy crawlies. I love the summer but i can never relax and i hate sitting outside on grass. In my bedroom i have to pin nets to my windows because if not i cant open them in case things come in.
If you work out any way of getting over it let me know!
Cant offer any advice though, because ive not had any success getting over my fears.
Hate wasps aswell. What do you do if you have a mega fear of dogs? Like even start panicing when they are on a lead?
Pm me if your fed up of your phobias.
i have a frog phobia, posted about it the other week. i have a docs appointment to see about it as its getting out of hand.
TAB is meant to be really good. My boyfriends-mums-best mate (god thats complicated - well call her Paula, which is incidentally her name) is petrified of flying. And weve all booked a holiday to Lanzarote this year, which is a four hour flight.
At first, she couldnt even talk about it. But shes getting better. It seems to work.
National Phobics Society is another useful resource on dealing with and finding out more about phobias.

 I think theyre evidence of alien life!
 They just do it for no reason at all! I like bumble bees tho, theyre cute and fuzzy. Although I do have a phobia of spiders, along with a huge percentage of the population I believe. I think arachnophobia is the most common phobia.
