My biggest phobia happened tonight. I don’t know why, but my biggest phobia is pests - particularly ants. There were hundreds of ants crawling through a light switch by the door. I found myself curled up in a ball while my husband kept asking for ant killer spray. I don’t remember him asking or cleaning. I think I blacked out from panic. Eventually I took my panic medicine for emergency (which I rarely ever take - especially whenever needed most) and realized how panicked I really was. I don’t know why I fear pests so much but it dates back to early childhood. We live on the ground floor so we are bound to get them. I’m finally calm and will cuddle my puppy for the rest of the night.

Anyone else fear pests like this? Any tips, hugs, suppport?
