I have a SERIOUS fear of bugs&insects!?

Question

i know i sound crazy but i feel like bugs are after me. just about 15 minutes ago there was a big orange bug crawling up my neck when i wasin bed reading a book. after i see a bug i take extreamly hot baths to burn my skin then i halucinate them....a few months ago there was a lizard in my pillow. and moths like flying out of dark corners and attacking me. oh also if i even see a ladybug i cant move. At the sight of a bug i Scream,Cry, And hyperventilate <---spelling) How do i get over my fear?? im not a crybaby because i rarely ever cry. no, my house&room are Perfectly clean, i dont live in a dump, i actually live in a good size house so sanitation has nothing to do with it!! Please help me!

Answer 1

It doesn&#039;t matter what your fear is, the key thing is to resolve the fear. First realize that if a bug was to say, crawl on your neck and bite you, what is the worst that could happen. It might sting then go away. You have to realize that bugs do not have thoughts aimed at you to hurt you. Bugs are just a living organism that do what bugs do. Say this: I  have no fear. I have no fear. Say it aloud, in your pillow case if you have to. Stand up and say right now. I have no fear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I used to be afraid of everything, the dark, you name it. when bees flew around me, I would almost go in a panic attack. I said I have no fear. If you are a christian, look up 2nd Timothy 1:7.

Go see a doctor about this...you may be in serious trouble.  Being afraid of bugs is a pretty common phobia, so that&#039;s not too bad.  You definately need to see a doctor ASAP and tell them everything....I know it&#039;s hard to tell docs everything, but you must so that they can help you.  I hope this helps!  

I know it may not help at all, but just know that bugs are NOT after you...they have a lot more things to think about...and they are more scared of you because you can kill them.  

Answer 3

The only reason why bugs do what they do is because they want to be happy, just like you want to be happy.  So if you see one crawling along the ground it is trying to get to someplace where it believes it will be happy.  If you see a bug milling around an area, maybe it thinks that there is food there, or it might be able to sense that another bug passed that way before.

Bugs arent out to harm you at all.  You are more than 100 times there size and they probably have no interest in you whatsoever.  They probably couldnt care less that you are there or not, unless you stand on their food or on them.

So just relax and talk with a doctor about this fear.

I think that some professional counseling would help you here.  What is it about bugs that frighten you?
