I have so many phobias... Are any of these unusual?
I am afraid of thunder storms.
The dark.
Small places.
Crowds
Talking on the phone.
3:00 AM
Water
And spiders

Hi Don't touch me. None of those phobias are unusual at all. They are very common, in fact.

Are you getting any professional help?

Wishing you all the very best

Yes I am. Currently I am seeing a new therapist, but I don't quite trust her yet.

It's good you're seeing someone. I really hope you get to trust your T. I have some phobias myself and I really know how difficult it is to get through them. One thing I've learned the hard way though: if you avoid the things you're afraid of, it just gets worse!! Sometimes that is like being stuck between a rock and a hard place, but if we keep working at it, and if we really want to get through it, I think that, in time, it might get easier!!! Good luck!!
