ok i'm back.
i would like to know myself. I guess if you watch a lot of ghost shows and just let it sink in and tell yourself your strong and stuff you should be ok with that fear. you will still be scared but not as much. i watch a lot of ghost hunters on sci-fi...sometimes after watching i go right to sleep. it's weird. other days im scared out of my mind. i guess some days i just let it consume me and other days i just shrug it off. its funny because i havn't watched that show in a couple of weeks and these past few weeks im really scared!
losing loved ones ...im scared of that too. just spend as much time with them and try not to think about it. it's not easy but just try.
i guess what im trying to say is. just be strong and try to face the fears. they won't ever completely go away but don't take that as a bad thing. its human nature to be scared. just try not to think about them too much. make yourself like those things even. when i saw a bug like a random one you see outside...i don't even know the name of it. anyway one day im like im 10 times bigger then this thing...im being ridiculous...so i walked right by it and didn't let it bother me. another time i said omg omg mom get that bug and throw it outside...then another day i told myself get over it and i did it myself! spiders are another thing...lets just not go there. p.s. i really did look for them right before i answered lol.
It sounds like you think about these things too much. Just chill@
sometimes you grow out of phobias, but I believe there is a treatment of phobias out there, but I hear it is not at all pleasant. I believe they basically expose you to the phobia and help you try to deal with the phobia directly. Or you can talk to a psychiatrist, he/she can advise on how to overcome your phobias.
if you're referring to spiders...i'm with ya! that is my BIGGEST fear! ugh! for the other ones, i would say, see a therapist. talk therapy might help work it out. i have a lot of other fears myself. like my daughter growing up without me, etc...
i'm trying to find a shrink, but my insurance sucks! so i'm pretty limited.
i know some people who are afraid of height go bungee jumping or jump out of planes to face their fears. but i'm ok with talking to someone...lol.
good luck to you!
Phobia is addressed in section 27, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris There has never been 1 scientifically substantiated case of a ghost: it's all in people's minds, like demonic possession, and curses. Even the Roman Catholic church has stopped performing exorcisms.
