Hi Boost!


Welcome to the site. This is a good section to post, especially if you're asking how to get over it! If you go to the sticky posts just above the discussion on this "Treatments" thread you'll find lots of information you can print out, or just read and learn.


This phobia is highly treatable, and many people successfully "get over it"(with appropriate treatment). There is ignorance in the therapeutic community about it, however, the info papers are helpful - to give to therapists so they know how to proceed.


Good luck!

Welcome, Boost. No, you're definitely not alone. This thing ruins my life from about October to April. I spend my days worrying (total waste of time) and asking my husband and son "do you feel ok? are you sure?". The thing is, I'm not sure if I want cured. If I could just pop a pill and never v. again, I'd be happy. If I could give that pill to my loved ones, I'd be happier. I guess this means I'm far from a cure. I'm not sure I'm ready to get over it - I would rather just not deal with it. So you're not alone. I'm sure there's treatment out there, this site offers so much I'm just not ready for. I hope you have the nerve I do not, and maybe you just might get past it.
