I Need Help With Zoophobia!!!

Question

I have zoophobia which is a phobia of all animals.

It's hard because everywhere i go theres an animal or insect.

My friends don't understand my fear and neither do my family.

i can't go 2 people's houses and when i walk 2 school and back i feel so scared because i walk on my own and if i see a dog or another animal like a bird i try 2 run but i can't because i look like an idiot.

i need help but what is the best way 2 help myself without going 2 a psycologist because i know they will force me 2 do things i'm not prepared 2 do??

Answer 1

you need professional help hun. we can't help you, you need a doctor if your phobia is severely impairing your life, which it it.

Answer 2

This is irrational,almost all animals, birds and insects are harmless.the chances of being hurt in a motor vehicle accident,being assullted by some criminal, burning to death in a house fire and numerous other accidental deaths and injurys are far more likely than being harmed by a animal bird or insect!

Answer 3

Oh my god whats wrong with you your scare of a bird? Its a bird their like 100 times smaller than you and if it was on the ground it would fly away. Don't wont do anything to you because it would be on a leash and it wouldn't do anything any ways. And cats wont do anything other than circle you and rub against your leg, meow and purr. Go to a pet store and pet the bunnys or something.

Answer 4

There is no way but facing your phobia, which you clearly don't want to do-- 'force me 2 do things i'm not perpared 2 do'.

You need to face your fear, a little at a time, and, to be honest, a psychiatrist can do this in the most controlled way.

Answer 5

You will go when you are ready but until then you will have the fear there is no really better way than having professional help.
