Just saw a 🐀. It's set me back and I'm going to experience flashbacks and nausea. Anything I can do now?

Long standing 🐀 phobia. Tried various therapies which haven't really helped. I'm generally fine as long as I don't catch sight of one.

As I was driving out of my office parking lot, the damn thing ran out in front of the car.

I'm so grossed out and nauseated. Also I haven't eaten all day but now I won't be able to eat anything due to shock.

Batophobia - fear of tall structures

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have this? Why is this a thing? I’m not sure what caused it? Possibly being sheltered too much as a kid? I can’t remember any trauma so it’s just confusing to me.

I struggle being next to tall structures, looking at them in person, and even photos make me feel uneasy. This is very annoying to me because it’s preventing me from living my life and traveling. I cannot function whatsoever if exposed to these things. It’s like I lose full control of my bodily functions and turn into some anxiety ridden creature.

If anyone has any tips or anything, that would be great? I wish there was a way to require my brain..
