Hemophobia and Trypanaphobia

They're evil. As a fifteen year old, I'm affected on a weekly, if not /daily/ basis...

have you talked to to anyone about these phobias?

My parents know I have them. But I haven't actually gone to a doctor about them.

You should go and talk to you doctor. The only way to get rid of a phobia is to face it, do you know why you have them ?

I know why I have the blood- I was in a bad accident when I was five.

Hemophobia is hard. I have it, too, and it's difficult being around other people when the symptoms are triggered.

I've decided that once I'm old enough to go alone, I'm going to seek professional help so that I won't be burdened with this forever. On the bright side, I think it can go away eventually, even without help. My grandmother was hemophobic when she was much younger, but she seemed to have gotten over it.
