Val (Zebedee) Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well, I was brave beyond words today, I felt scared and sick and wanted to run, but I stuck it out and got through it. What did I do, I hear you ask? ? I did the dinnertime run to McDonalds for the chicken salad bowls (yes, ironic, I know!) and the restaurant was full of balloons advertising the Smurfs! Anyone who knows me will understand what a big deal this was as I'm terrified of them! lol Even at the show on Saturday, a toddler came over carrying a balloon - I freaked, froze then hid! So when have you faced your phobia and come through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahjng Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Well done you, you faced your fear and kicked it's butt ! As for my fear, I used to be terrified of spiders, throw up screaming fit terrified, when I had kids I decided I didn't want them to be scared so I hid it, a couple of years later Brett got his first tarantula, at the end we had 32, yes 32, and I could hold and handle most of them.

love4Luna Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Good for you!! I have a phobia of raccoons. I even get panic attacks from seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Used to have phobia of needles and bees. Got stung by a bee twice (I stepped on it barefooted!) and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Now I can let a bee land on my hand, I'm not bothered much by them any more. I used to to go crazy when I needed a vaccination. I still don't like needles but learnt how to ignore the feeling. Especially as I needed to give animals injections before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
