Hey sarah, sorry to hear that. Many people have that kind of feel, and its totally normal to feel like that. All you need is someone to hear your problems and give you solutions accordingly and support you. I know im late to it, but if you still need it, i can support you
Dictionary please explain yourself

So as an Australian myself i wouldnt consider myself arachnophobic but because I still fear some spiders I am , so as dictionary.com says phobia is an irrational fear of specific object , activity or situation , thats alright but i dont agree with the usage of the word irrational like heres a Brazilian Wandering Spider which venom acts as viagra so it will give you 2 hour painful erection and then kills you and also hides in bananas isn't that common sense to fear this creature?? or Sydney Funnel Spider which can kill you with just a bite , or Brown Recluse Spider that can make your leg rot and fall off with just a bite , and since im not arachnologist but i have a degree in biology but still i dont specialize in arachnology im not good at telling these creatures apart so if its sydney funell web or a harmless one ill rather fear it ,and that seems like a common sense to me. As always share your opinions

maybe the response was meant, irrational or not. if somebody is really afraid of something hed do crazy things when confronted.
ive seen a girl once jump in front of a car because a dog went to greet her. -
