    Phobia

    I have a terrible phobia of insects but mostly bees and wasps. I seem to spend 6 months of the year in the house. I count the days untill it is winter again and so on...I get up at 4.30 am each day to complete my chores I have outdoors before THEY are up and about. By 7ish I am a prisoner in my house.

    Hi Calmic, welcome to the forum. I used to have a phobia of spiders but since working out in the garden with all the insects it has actually de-sensitized me. Have you sought any professional help with this as I'm sure there are things that can be done. For example do you know when it started, any reason why? Were you stung etc. I'm sure a counsellor or hynotherapist could help you through. Anyway I'm now expert on phobias but there are people here who've been through stuff like that.

    Hi there Calmic
    Welcome to our site.
    I too have a phobia of wasps and run around waving my arms around if one comes near me. its quite hilarious if I see myself = but apparently hypnotherapy can help> My daughter had a serious spider phobia and 6 sessions of hypnotherapy helped her and now she can put a glass over one and throw it outside when before - she couldnt even go in a house if there was a spider there. Good luck Love wenjoy x
