Alessia, have you ever tried to face your fear in very small bits and get past it?

Yes, actually! I was put through exposure therapy at one point for several months. Unfortunately it didn't do much for me. It helped a liiiiitle bit though: If I see one at a distance, I'm OK with it. I'm just not OK with being near one. I faint, run, or have an anxiety attack. If someone put one in a jar and locked it shut really, really, tight, I'm OK looking at it through the glass
Not sure where the far came from though- it's an irrational fear 100% that I've had as long as my parents and I can remember. I'm not afraid of anything else without reason.
