Hey everyone. I just joined last night. I had to do a paper for my
psych class on a phobia yesterday n decided to do this one since it hit
so close to home (okay, not close to home...home exactly). I've been
going through my life with this stupid phobia for about 13 years (I'm
19 now). I don't know what started it, but it's there...it has become a
part of me.
Up until about a year ago, I had no idea there were so many other
people with the same problem. My friends just made jokes about it all
the time n never understood what a huge part of my life it had
become. I'm so glad to see there are websites like this so we can all
be there to help each other.
In high school, the phobia thing was outta control. I've learned since
then to calm down a lot more, but it's still the biggest present issue in
my life.
I currently go to a community college because I've been scared to go
away to college. My mom is the only one who can ever talk me out of
being "sick", because most of the time, it's all just in my head. I've
moved out of the house as a baby step n I plan on transfering next
fall. I'd like to get everything under control before I go so maybe you
guys can help!
Thanks for listening, I know I just wrote like an essay! Just wanted to
introduce myself.
