Spiders scare me A LOT. I cringe when I hear the word spider. Everytime I see one I can’t even kill it myself, I have to call someone to do it for me. It isn’t even just poisonous spiders. We used to have a crap ton of daddy longlegs in my house and I couldn’t even go into the basement because they were there. I CAN’T EVEN TYPE THE WORD DADDY LONGLEG WITHOUT GETTING CREEPED OUT A LITTLE. I look at a picture if a spider and its stuck in my head all night. I don’t know where it came from, but ever since I was little I could never have them around me. I would avoid corners they were in and cry when my dad wouldn’t kill them. I’ve never really had a bad experience with one, but they just freak me out. If a spider were to come in this room right now, I would probably throw my laptop on the ground and run. I don’t live in an area with lots of “dangerous” spiders, but even the ones smaller than a penny scare me. I was in my room a while a go and I saw a nickel sized black one and I hit it but it fell and didn’t die so I ran out. I can’t even go back in there without being scared O_o Its mostly daddy long legs that scare me (I assume thats due to the large amount that used to be in my basement as a child) but now its just out of control.
AND I WILL NOT TOUCH A SPIDER BECAUSE I WILL PROBABLY HAVE A PANIC ATTACK. I can’t even look at a spider for more than 5 seconds (thats a stretch) even if its only on a computer screen. I don’t want to be so afraid but I don’t know what to do. I’m even scared to look up the spiders in my state because it would probably have pictures O_o Of all my fears, (tornadoes, floods, earthquakes) spiders is the worst. Maybe because I actually know about those, and how common they are, the chances of dying, etc. But with spiders I can’t research them because they always have pictures! I’m less afraid of ghost stories than spiders (And trust me, ghost stories get in my head and stay there for a hella long time.)
How can I get over this?
