Fear of insects 😞
Since I was a little girl I was feeling bad whenever I see any insect, now I see them when I'm trying to sleep or dream about them and it feels really bad 😞.
I'm a Psychology student I know a little about phobia but I don't know how to help myself with this situation.

Hi, I hope you can get help now that you're here, and finally sleep in peace.
As you're a Psych student, do you think it would help to check out the options for dealing with phobias, and decide what you'd rather not try yet? Rule out the stuff that sounds overwhelming at this point.
@MonoTrouble
The thing is I don't know what to do, in summer her in Egypt there are a lot of insects everywhere and I always have nightmares because of that, summer and spring is a bad time for me.
@som9012
That does sound like it would be hard on you. I can't exactly tell you to tough it out as you'd most likely end up feeling even worse, but you can't be locked up indoors all the time either - that's not really a solution.
@MonoTrouble
It's not hard out but it's hard at home couse something happened when I was young so it's hard to see insects at home.
@som9012
Ah, so it would help if you felt safe at home first?
@som9012 I applaud you for opening up about your fear here; that takes courage. Hopefully, as you learn more in your psych classes, you will gain some knowledge on phobias and how to properly handle them. One thing to remember is that it takes time to manage your fear. It's perfectly fine taking baby steps at your own pace. We're here for you; feel free to reach out to a listener if you ever wish to talk things out.

Thanks a lot your words means a lot to me, Thank you.
@som9012 hey, it's brave of you to share your fears and phobias. have you considered slow exposure to insects in a controlled setting? experience helps overcome fears :) may you have the strength to overcome this!
@som9012
I'm sorry you're experiencing this fear/phobia in relation to insects. That's great that you know a little bit about fears/phobis since you're a psych student.
Something you can do is try to go through the 7 Cups Self-Help Guide for anxiety, or try to share how or why you think you feel these ways towards insects with an Active Listener here on 7 Cups, and/or seek professional help with a therapist for anxiety / phobias!
Good luck! Hope everything works out! :) <3
I know how you feel, since I was little I have been terrified of spiders. Even hearing the song the Itsy Bitsy Spider gives me the willies. I can't even see a picture of one without being scared.
