    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.

    Hey Rich , I mean Bekah..wow you're story sounds so similar to mine. I too had biiiig problems in high school but have learned to cope and tone my phobia down. I also had to go to community college due to fear of going far for school. But!! instead of doing a report on the phobia I actually wrote a story about it in our high school newspaper, which is how I found all the internet sites and mumbo jumbo. But I guess I can say welcome cause I'm not the newbie around here anymore [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

    Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, high school treated my badly. I actually ended up graduating a year and a half early. That's really cool that you had the opportunity to share your phobia in your high school paper. Well, good luck to us keeping it a little moreunder control.





    To everyone else, thank you so much for such warm welcomes. Love ya already! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

    See, I wasn't smart enough to graduate early. Unfortunately at the current moment I'm not keeping it under control heh. I've had 3 bad attacks at work this past week and now I'm phoning the doctor this week trying to figure out if I need new meds. I'm also researching something Sage posted about EMDR, you should check it out.

    UGH. At work is the worst. About a year ago, my grandma passed away n I didn't take it well AT ALL...anyway, it caused my attacks to come back SOOO badly...I remember I tried to go to work one day but I had to leave because I was absolutely CONVINCED I was sick. I'm dealing now...but I know how frickin tough it is. Hang in there.
