How do you get over phobias when you don't want to?
I am terrified of three things. Bees, injections, and falling. They all suck and make various things more difficult for me. Still, I'm not sure if I want to get over those fears. If I stop avoiding situations or places where there might be bees, what if I get stung? What if I get injected with something bad by accident or something goes wrong, because I wasn't obsessive and scared enough? What if I fall and hurt myself because I ran on grass or walked in the rain or tripped over? Recovery is terrifying.
One thing I learned about overcoming fears is to just do it. I was afraid of needles, but for medical reasons I had to get injections. Luckily I'd didn't feel a thing and it gets better and better. I was also afraid of spiders. I now own a tarantula and I'm not afraid of spiders anymore. Take your time to overcome it. And when you face it. Take a deep breath and let it happen. If you fall? You get back up on your feet. :)
