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.

Are you afraid of pain, or that you'll bleed too much, or is it just the whole experience? Guess it doesn't really matter, because phobias are not really logical, are they? I don't have this particular problem, but I have given birth to five babies, so I can tell you that if you want a family, it's worth it all, no matter what you have to go through to have one. I used to be an EMT, and I can tell you that you are certainly not alone in this..LOTS of people have this problem. I'm afraid I can't help with this one, except to say you aren't alone, and I'm sure you'll find others here who can offer loving support. The important thing I think for all of us is to know we are not the only one, we aren't alone in our struggles. I wish you a sweet tomorrow.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
