That really sounds like a real phobia. Do you have anything that’s worked for you in the past that you can go back to try? Maybe sleep on the couch today?

First question is did you ever find/kill that spider? If not I would locate some Hotshot or Raid in a hurry & take some tongs or long stick & take off your sheets/bedding & shake them out... spray insecticide in corners & under bed... I dispise spiders too except maybe daddy long legs (don't bite)... can't imagine staying up 2 days over this, but hope you get rid of bug first off & can get some sleep.

i mean i could try sleeping on the couch but i'm still scared that there's gonna be a spider there? usually my phobia of spiders isn't this bad but i've had trouble sleeping recently as i've pulled three all nighters in the past four days. do you have any methods to use to not freak out or panick?

and i didn't find the spider as i ran out of my room and i came back today and vacuumed and rearranged my room but i couldn't find anything. i did make a spider repellent from essential oils and i've been spraying it everywhere to the point my asthma is getting worse and i have a rash from the essential oils, it's really not going great for me.

Were the three nights of all nighters due to work or school? I would suggest a hot shower, warm milk, and just lie down, maybe with the TV on, and I would think you will doze off, as your body is tired and so it will just naturally sleep.

Almost all spiders won't hurt you. It is probably gone now. You might find it in the corners of where your wall meets the ceiling. It would make a web there. Chances are, it left now.

Stay away from caffeine. And stress. Hope you get some rest soon.

GirlinCalif-the all nighters was due to the fact i could't sleep though i'm not sure why. i didn't have any school work (i'm 14) but i just layed there and could't sleep. thank you for the advice i really appreciate it i will give it a go.

Oh okay. And just remember, spiders are much more afraid of you than you are of them! :) We probably look like giants to them lol.

I throw peppermint tea bags along the baseboards and under the bed to repel spiders.

Sounds like you have done everything possible to make it a safe space. It’s probably long gone now.

Just to maybe take things out of your room then do a through vacuum and then wipe floors down if they are hardwood. I hate spiders too. Was it a small one. Once you get everything out and clean would get rid of the spider. I would be careful using insecticide in your home.
