Anxiety towards insects?

[medaparsons]

Entomophobia, aversion towards insects.. couldn't really pinpoint where that went, so I posted this in the anxiety section. I don't hate bugs I don't have any panic attacks, I just really dislike them but I don't know when this even started. But this is usually the case towards cockroaches, really big moths and 10cm diameter spiders. Small bugs I could take them outside.I'm just really confused of.. what is it that I have? because I don't have panic attacks, but I do have this discomfort when theres a big insect nearby. Something else unusual is when I am warmed up or have just played a game of basketball I don't actually fear bugs or gain discomfort (unless I face a venomous spider), its as though I'm more relaxed But when I've been on my computer for the whole day, I flinch when I see a cockroach on the wall nearby So.. what is it that I have? and how do I tackle this issue?

Hi!
First off get you a bottle of BORIC ACID and get rid of those nasty cockroaches! YIKES!!!!

Secondly... not sure what you suffer here, but I can tell you if ur not ina panic, running away, knocking folks over just to get away from a bug, bee, spidar, flying things, insects period! then you do not suffer a phobia.

***I**** on the other hand do, and it is crippling!*** in the summertime I even refuse to go check my mail box for fear of seeing a bee! and we have a beautiful swimming pool, it was built just for me, I did used it 10 years ago- but something CRAZY happened to me, I went bonkers and all of a sudden started having ANXIETY, PANICE attacks due to all the bees, lady bugs, and dragonflies!

so rest assured, if you are not having any of these symptoms, you do not have a phobia, you simply just do not like bugs... as most folks.
