Hi guys
Mine was wasps!
Once got out of the car and ran into oncoming traffic when one came in my car, crazy I know but I was so scared.
Once screamed so loud at a wedding hysterically running round during the service and had to leave.
I don't have the phobia now as I learnt EFT and it worked for me :) :) may be worth a try xx

[Soph18]

what is EFT? And i had wasps, bees, moths, flies, any insect. Xxx

Emotional freedom Technique..tapping certain points with your fingers...I learnt it from a one of visit to a psychotherapist..they have Technique on You Tube for you to watch xx :)

ok i might have a look at that. All these things wrong with me (mentally) are driving me potty. I have these phobias. My worst one is crowds (claustrophobia). Xx

I have this weird fear of moths lol

Seriously, i smashed a wee lamp once throwing it at this bugger of a moth that managed to get in my room!

Oh, and now it's Summer it's gonna be a great time with them open windows at night :weep:

i hate phobias so much. I'm so bad with some of them. Why so they have to exist? They just make you more anxious. I'm anxious all the time and it drives me potty. :( xx

I developed temporary phobias of heights and of cats when I went through a very stressful time. I recovered from them when I became less stressed about things.

Maybe one way to recover from phobias is to deal with the problems that are the root of your anxiety. I think the phobias are just a symptom of your anxiety coming out in a different way from other anxiety symptoms.

I'm not sure lior. I have had most of these pgobias all my life. It is horrible. I have a massive fear of the dark but that is from when i was 7. Xx

[lior]

That might be related to something that happened when you were 7?

[Soph18]
