My largest Phobia is that of spiders, I am really petrified of them. I think it's something about the way they move. Anything larger than a money spider will have me running screaming from the room. I actually cannot go near them and have to have someone remove them for me. If forced to go near them I will actually start shaking a crying it's that bad. I don't even like looking at photos of them and will have to skip out pages of a magazine etc. if there is one on the page. I don't know how to go about curing this phobia and I can't think of where it has stemmed from, although I know my mum is scared of them so I sometimes wonder if I picked it up from her when I was younger. I used to also have a quite bad fear of heights, but this is one that I'm trying to get over. I'm taking a degree in drama and I want to do a module in lighting which requires me to climb p ladders and be suspended as I'm hanging the laterns. So since I realised this I've been going on the galleries in the theatre quite regualarly to get used to it, and I have to say I'm getting over it gradually!

hey frnd, According to me, everyone has one or more phobia. And, I'm really sympathetic to you about your fear of spiders. I personally, am afraid of snakes. I see them in my dreams, and everywhere, even though they cannot be there, and it scares me ,more. However, I have decided to face them rather than run away. I have bought a rubber snake and try to remove my fear. And, it works, really!

Now, I don't have a serious phobia, but I do not like spiders. Ever since I saw the film Arachnophobia, I developed a fear of spiders. I think that's the only thing right now that could get me to shriek really loud.
