I was sitting on the Couch catching up on episodes of The Voice when all of a sudden I spot a spider crawling across the ceiling. I jumped off the couch, moved the blanket and pillow that I had on my lap and stood staring at the creepy crawly. I am terrified of spiders!!
I don't like the way they look or the way they just seem to appear out of nowhere. I really don't know where my fear came from but whenever I see one I tense up, my heart rate sky rockets, I start to sweat and I can't move. Basically I turn into a giant baby.
Most of the time my kids or husband have to eliminate the problem. If they are not home, I will get a broom or some other long object to take care of it. Even though I get something that puts a distance between me and the nasty little pest, I still get freaked out.
Do you have any fears? What are they and how to do handle them?
