How do I overcome a phobia of heights?

Cybele asked:


I’ve been terrified of heights since I was 3 years old. My Dad sat me on a tree stump and I screamed to get down. I’m 21 now and my fear has not abated. I’m not overly afraid of anything else, but this hasn’t gotten any better. I find it embarrassing not being able to go out on people’s balconies or walk on a bridge. No matter how much I try and expose myself to heights, my fear doesn’t go away. Any ideas that could help me?

This girl is a 1st class student, many men are attracted to her, yet she has very very few friends due to anxiety troubles. What would you think of why she has this phobia?

A final year college student and how would you think a lecturer would interpret her

How can I get over a phobia of roaches?

sweetienat123 asked:


I’ve had my apartment fumigated twice since I lived here due to finding a roach crawling around just after I moved in. My fear of this creepy bug led me to sleep at a hotel for a couple days before they came to spray. I want to be able to get over this fear so that the next time it happens, I don’t want to run out of my apartment. Also, even when I spray one and it dies, I can’t bring myself to do anything with it..like take it outside or throw it away. I think its got something to do w/ waking up with a roach on me when i was little. They freak me out beyond belief. Also, I’m fine when someone else is staying w/ me and I’m not alone…then I usually have them take care of it…what a baby I must sound like!

Any suggestions…do I need a therapist or just need to suck it up and face my fears already?

Thanks!

Like the person panics if they don’t know whats going on or if they are going to a new place & don’t know anyone or how they act & fears what they don’t know.

I’ve seen people on talkshows with fears of peaches and pickles and tin foil. is it really possible to have fears like that because of a chemical imbalance or is that just really unheard of?

Savannah asked:


I am highly scared of being hurt emotionally so much so that I quickly hurt others before they supposedly hurt me.
I suddenly strike at any hint of hurt. Is this normal at all?

How can I deal with it in order to dwell well with other citizens of mother earth?
