I know alot of people are scared of spiders and its only recently that ive realised that my fear has taken over my life and i think i may have arachnophobia...
* i cant bear to hear the word spider and even writing it makes me feel sick and anxious.
* if i see one i scream, cry, panic then run and have a panic attack. Sounds so pathetic i know! Takes of ages to calm down and often cant sleep after seeing one in the house.
* pictures of them have the same effect.
* often when i close my eyes in bed i see them & have nightmares about them.
* i wont have our bedroom windows open incase they come in, no matter how hot it is.
thats just a little snippet of how it effects my life. Its been a gradual thing over a few years, ive never liked them but i didnt used to have this total irrational fear of them. I kinda know what its stemed from i think, i have night terrors and see giant sp in them so doesnt help that total fear from the night terrors is associated with spiders.
Anyone got experience? Thinking of trying hypnotism and gunna see doctor. Thanks for reading xx
