Hi, I'm new on here. Until recently, I didn't know there was a word to describe this phobia! I've been dealing with it for about 13 years now, and I've really had some rough days. I always thought I was alone with this problem until I saw this website. I've been reading a lot of posts on here, and i think you guys are great! You are so encouraging, and just knowing that there are other people out there who deal with what i deal with really does make me feel better. I'm glad I am a part of this community!
