asp, you're awesome! I loved your post and it brought a smile to my face.

I'm also thinking that I will never overcome this horrible phobia as I've had it for a while now. I just wish I realised I had this phobia sooner, then I wouldn't be suffering now most probably. I'm having exposure therapy at the moment *Gulps*! and it's making me pretty nervous, but I'm going to get through it, if it means getting rid of this phobia forever!
