What do you have an irrational fear of?
Is it a fear that you want to overcome?
(For sake of those with visual phobias, please don't post pictures, or if you do put them in hide tags)
Mine is spiders. Especially if they're black. And inside. If they're outside I only really freak out if I walk into a web or find one crawling on me - outside is their territory. Inside is mine. They can stay outside.
I'm slowly improving on my ability to handle them on my own. I used to have to stand across the room and throw heavy things at the wall hoping to hit and squish the spider. Or I would have to suck it up with the vacuum hose and then put the vacuum as far from my bedroom as possible.
I've progressed to the point where I can squish the little, itty bitty ones, but there is a very specific size limitation to what I can handle.
