Irrational fears.

Anyone else have irrational fears that cause debilitating anxiety? I have extreme fear of rabies and bats. Earlier during the day I was sitting outside on my deck steps. I saw something about 20 feet away coming straight at me. It didnt look super large but it dived into my arm! And then went sideways and took off. I am certain it was a carpenter bee but now my anxiety is causing me to second guess myself. Just looking for people who can understand.

🥺

Sorry you had to go through that. Its hard when our fears are irrational and people cannot understand, we feel more isolated because the fear is very real to us. Its important to try and find the root for the fear and if there's not one, to find a way to help you face it head in, allowing you to take the power back and get comfortable with it. Sending you my genuine best wishes 💕💜

@Chels1211 I have an irrational fear of latex gloves. Whenever I hear them stretch, I always get super jittery. I have no idea why
