Is this ridiculous?!
Question: Is this ridiculous!?
Okay so I've got really bad hydrophobia!. And what ever it's called to be scared of fish!. I used to like swimming, but for the past few years I've been too frightened to even go near water!. I can't stand the thought of being close to deep water or even just having to look at it!. It makes me feel like I'm going to drown!.
I hate fish so much!. Especially bigger fish!. Their so creepy and I can't even stand to look at them!. You know the fish aquariums at the zoo!? That you can walk through and see all the underwater stuff!? Yeah, you couldn't pay me 100 dollars to walk through there!. I'd freak out!.
Do you ever look at pictures of a big body of water or a picture taken from someone scuba diving deep under the ocean and just feel upset!? I do and I can't help it!. It's just frightening to me!. My mom thinks I'm completely ridiculous and says I'm being a baby about it!. Am I!? I can't help what I'm afraid of!. She wants me to go to therapy and I hate therapy!. Should I go!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't believe I found someone with the exact same issue as I have!. My mother thinks I'm being a baby as well!. If your mom wants you to go to therapy, personally I think she's over-reacting!. Sure their might be some underlying issues that go with your phobia blah blah blah, but unless it's really affecting your everyday life (like when you're not around water or fish) I don't think it's necessary to go to therapy!.
You're fine, don't worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you can't work this fear out on your own and you want to not be scared of little goldfish all of the time then go to therapy but if you do go i will tell you this you have to be 100% honest and need to develop a type of relationship with your therapist if you want the best treatment from them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
OMG! She's being ridiculous, not you!. You shouldn't have to go to therapy because it's not like it's an everyday part of your life!. Everyone has their own phobias!. Like me, I'm afraid of cops, dogs, STD's, & snakes!. Also afraid of jail/prison!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
no its not ridiculous!. I hate swimming in ponds and stuff and im afraid a crab will bite my feet if I go in the ocean so i try hard to not let my feet touch the ground, strangly tho i love fishing and i like fish, but would never dare swim in ponds and stuff!. Ever since i found a venomous snake in the crannberry bogs im afraid to reach my bare hands in to grab animals, and sunday when i was hopping the ditches of the bogs (they are filled 2 1/2 ft of water) i went to jump and my footing was wrong and i landed in the water (its a long jump) and i lost a shoe and my cuzen had to get it for me cuz i couldnt reach in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
