Ack! Bugs!

When I was 18 there was a big gross molty moth/beetle/creeeeepy thing on my wall and I was alone in my house. I freaked, hyperventilated, calmed myself down, grabbed a frying pan and walked right up to it. When I swung the first time, it flew towards me and I screamed bloody murder, so I had to repeat the first process. The second time I managed to smack it, then proceed to smash it to bits! I then covered it up with a box till my brother could come and take it awwaaaaaay from me…. but (even though I couldn’t look at it) I felt so PROUD of myself for winning! It was like exposure therapy plus a nice outlet for my rage that anything with more than 4 legs would dare enter my house!

It’s really nice to have someone else who understands just how intolerable a phobia about living things can be. At least I can just not go near deep water!

Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVED your spider story. And my boyfriend and I can totally relate, we have a serious case of arachnophobia. He once fainted because our friend set his computer homepage to thousands of spiders crawling on the desktop. I guess I can’t call him to come kill one for me… I’m worse.. Once, my downstairs neighbor came out at night to get something from her car, and my mom, brother and I were just coming home. My mom and brother went up the stairs leading to our door, and I stood at the first step frozen and gazing to the sky. A weird, poisonous-looking spider built a huge web across my stairway all the way to the other side. I refused to take a step forward. When my neighbor came by, she politely asked what was I looking at, and I told her there’s a poisonous spider above our heads. At that moment, she screamed “WHY DID YOU TELL ME?! I’M TERRIFIED OF SPIDERS!” We both did a lot of screaming until my mom came out and removed the spider & the web with a broom. My neighbor and I exchanged a few laughs, and still a bit shaken, went into our houses cautiously looking around… apparently, the other neighbors weren’t very happy.

You CAN get over it, it isn’t easy but force yourself to kill one. I’m serious, it’s terrifying and you will panic but you have to do it if you wanna get over it

I used to be way more scared of spiders, but not quite on that level, and it’s gotten better over the years. I still jump a bit when I see a black widow, but the worst was about a year or so ago. I was sitting in my kitchen one evening when I noticed movement across the room in the shadows. I figured it was one of the small house spiders we get frequently, but no. It was a GIANT wolf spider (over an inch with its legs), and the thing ran right at me and stopped under my chair. I’m not a girly girl, nor a screamer, but I screamed and sat up on the table, pulling my legs up. My mom freaked, my dad freaked. We were all pretty creeped out. My dad killed it (I refused to look until it was all cleaned up, because my dad is notorious for making the biggest mess when he kills spiders or bugs).
I have a much bigger issue with heights, though. I can freeze up pretty badly when I’m up really high and look down. I have to crouch low and move slow. When I’m super high and look down, it feels like the ground is just rushing up at me.
