Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.
Hi all, does anyone else share this fear of bees? I avoid the outdoors in the summertime. I'm 52 and have been dealing with this disabling fear since I was small. Its robbing me of life, and I'm sick of it. Any advice?

was a rational phobia. I wish my phobia were that simple, but it involves things
much more complicated. I wish I could give you better advice, but I can be
next to a bee-hive and not be stung. Bees usually won't sting unless provked.
