Arachnophobia/Agoraphobia

[onlyinblackandwhite]

I am a typical human, having arachnophobia (fear of spiders), so bad I am paralysed with fear, I am learning though. Recently I have been researching cute/awesome/respectable facts about them to "cure" myself.
I mean it's half-heartedly worked, I saw a humoungous bugger in the bathroom and I didn't even scream...I dribbled, ran out of the bathroom and shouted for mum to get it OUT!
And recently I have this thing when she hoovers them up, I start to cry because I think I could hear them scream...but I think that's only cos I feel real sorry when they get hoovered.

I also have Agoraphobia (An intense fear of being in public places where you feel escape might be difficult. Tend to avoid public places). Pain in the ***, school is bearable as it's just up the road but it's just as bad. It causes me to find it difficult to talk to people, normally.
I remember back in the day when I had friends, they used to try and force me to come out, do teenage things like drinking in the bus stop or on the beach but I used to hold myself up in my living room and watch films.
I've learnt how to deal with these things but It's still a problem.

All I needed to get out:)

I can't help feeling sorry for them, it feels wrong to hurt them.
