Phobias are irrational. I know this because I have a phobia. Bugs. It's completely insane because they are such tiny things that I could crush with one stamp of my foot, yet when one lands on me I freak out. Sometimes I can control it, but most of the time my body reacts uncontrollably. I scream and jump up and down. I repeat the phrase, "Get it off! Get if off!" and when it is off, I have to find it in order to watch it so that it doesn't get on me again.
The other night, I was cleaning the bathroom and I noticed a spider sitting in my doorway. I had walked through that doorway I don't know how many times and had never seen it. When I finally did, I think it knew. Sounds crazy I know, but as soon as I saw it and tried to get it away, it came down on it's little string to get me. I finally thought I killed it, but it wouldn't die! I had to sit and watch and scream at it for awhile before I got the guts to actually get some tissue paper and squish it. Scariest thing.
So it's irrational and embarrassing. I need professional help.
