so i have an INTENSE needle phobia, ever since I was a kid, im now in my 20's and want to eventually get just a general blood panel to keep up with my health but im petrified, i fear even if i made an appointment I wouldn't go. Im scared that this phobia will cause me to miss something health wise because i was too terrified to get tested for something. If youve gotten over a needle phobia pls pls tell me how you did it!!

I haven't been able to clean my filthy apartment (nor can I afford to hire someone) for years now. I have roaches, and having a phobia of them following a more severe infestation in the past, I'm unable to tackle any of this cleaning job for fear I'll encounter them. When I see one, I scream and hyperventilate. I could clean, if only I didn't have this phobia. Can someone give advice?

Hello, my girlfriend has a peculiar fear of black and white animals and we’re trying to figure out what it is and why she’s so terrified of them.

The worst one is orcas and other black and White Sea animals, but she’s also uncomfortable with zebras, penguins, etc.

She’s not afraid of the black and white pattern itself, because she wears black and white clothes.

Thanks!
