Deathly afraid of worms?!
Question:
Deathly afraid of worms?
I have always been afrai of worms and caterpillars. It's so bad that the last time I was gardening and dug up a worm, I panicked, vomited, and had a black out.
I've seen therapists but none of it helped at all. I'm so afraid of them, I can't even look ata a picture of worms without freaking out.
Now it's Spring and I have stinging caterpillars crawling all over my yard and falling out of the trees. I'm actually afraid to leave my house because of them. What can I do?
Answers:
Perhaps you need to try a different kind of therapy. there is nothing wrong with having a fear, but a phobia (as you have with worms and caterpillars) is an irrational fear that begins to impede our every day lives.
No one on here can make it better. You need to seek help since this is hurting your quality of life.
Best of luck to you.
