Has anyone ever overcome a phobia?

Question

I have a really bad phobia of wasps. I have had this phobia for many years now, and its getting me down. I had never been stung by one until about 4 years ago, and this hasnt made me feel better or worse about it. All people keep saying is "keep still" when one buzzes around me, but I really cant, its imposible for me to do that. when i got stung i did not even know it was on me, so i did not run like i normally do, and it STILL stung me! This is not funny anymore, not to me anyway as its ruining my life. i lovethe summer months but dread it when i even have to go outside to go anywhere. i love going abroad with my husband but cant even rest then when trying to relax and get a tan! im always a nervous wreck. has anyone else got this phobia or any other phobias and got over it, or as near as. need any advice you can give me. thank you in advance.

Answer 3

First, buy some bug repellant, and stay away from colors that attract wasps, like flowery colors.

I had and still do have a fear of heights, but some things I'll do, rollar coasters and even some work on my roof, but don't ask me to lean over on a ladder.

Know your limits and work within them.
