I understand this "phobia" and telling someone to relax is utterly useless and dismissive of what you are going through!.
Like any phobia gradual exposure to the specific fear will lessen it and avoidance of the fear will increase your anxiety!.
I purchased a CD in my local bookstore that is the sound of loud, crashing thunderstorms!. When I am alone in my car I drive around with it on really loud!. I am gradually tying to expose myself to the sound of thunderstorms on a daily basis!.
A therapist who specializes in phobias and exposure therapy can help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can understand that, I used to be terrified of them myself!. But there is a certain beauty to a really good thunderstorm!. If you get a chance to just watch one they are really pretty cool!. Obviously if there is hail or something you might not want to sit next to a window, but even hail wouldn't break a window most of the time!. Just realize that if you're in your house the storm can't really hurt you!. Even if lightning struck your car you'd likely be safe because of the rubber tires!. All you really have to worry about is if the wind is actually blowing hard enough to have objects flying through the air, which is rare!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You will outgrow it; or you can realize that the thunder is just noise!. It is the lightning that is to be feared!. If you stay indoors you cannot be harmed!.
Turn up the TV and have a Coke!.
I was terrified until about 11 then I became fascinated!. Now I shoot pictures of them, like I was doing about an hour ago as one came through Louisville, kYWww@Answer-Health@Com

Read about them and find out what causes them!. If knowing the facts about them will help you, that's great!. But if it doesn't work, listen to you iPod or watch TV to drown out the noise!. Or talk to your parents about it!. They might make you feel better!. (BTW-it's storming here too!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
go and clean your room or something to get your mind off of it, turn on some music, and relax!. BTW: get off of the computer, lightning can fry the modem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
